Oh my goodness. I didn't even see Browse (Isn't there a saying to the effect
that there is no one so blind as he who will not see?). I see now that it's on
my task bar under Search. But when I open that I only have 8 items in a list,
including New Books.
It doesn't matter, though, because that takes me to the same place and the same
lists as when I click on Most Recent Books from the Home page, and the lists I
bookmarked. I just tried all the routes and got the same results--and though a
variety of lists show up, they are all old. Nothing at the moment, 1:50 p.m.
pacific time, shows the list of 20 books that were added yesterday.
As it happens, 6 books were added by Lindsie from I don't know where. All six
showed up yesterday on the table list; only 5 showed up on view list. Carrie
added 14 more last night, which she sent to me so I could compile my list.
Ann, do you see now the list that begins with The Weapon? I can't figure out
why some of you see the new lists and some of us don't, or why books added from
the office show up and books Carrie approves don't, although she can see them,
I believe.
Hopefully the fix will be in the new deployment on Wed.
