MessageMake sure all the links work. Sorry. I'm extremely frustrated by hardly ever being able to go to a link beyond the volunteer home page. I have been unable to renew books, check in books when they're finished, and such things for the whole time I've been volunteering again. It's not a question of slowness. It's a question of getting error messages such as: HTTP 400 Bad Request. Page not found. I got beyond the volunteer home page two days, the first day when I checked out the books to work on, and Monday, when I renewed one, checked in another, and released one. I've been writing to technical support about it, but haven't really found out anything yet. I don't have any constructive offerings about the website. It's all right the way it is, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, I thought the one before this current one was all right too. Thanks.

I know about the volunteer newsletter problem and I want to fix this too. We are actually talking about starting the newsletter up again. Regardless, that old link shouldn't be there. I'm not sure about the slow loading times, but I will see what I can find out about what is being done to fix this. It's really frustrating, I agree! Hopefully we'll be able to straighten out these issues!

The volunteer newsletter is the one dated in January when the site went live and it hasn't been changed; 2. I don't know if the engineering geniuses have solved the problem of loading pages for the checkout queue. They take a long time to load and if I wished to go to another page for checking out a book to proofread, the computer didn't seem to be able to handle it very well; 3. If I release or reject a book, I'd feel better about my decision if there was a means for me to explain my decision for the folks in charge of approving books. 4. I haven't responded to any blogs on the Bookshare site because I haven't figured out how to do it. Regards, Kim Friedman.
