I have Internet Explorer 11 with Jaws 15, on a Windows 7 64-bit computer,
and they show up as links for me, and when I press enter on someone's name,
I see all of their books just like before. The site does seem a bit sluggish
in responding sometimes.

Out of curiosity, if you clicked the names in internet explorer anyway,
does it work or not?

One more data point. I tried another search with Firefox, and the names
of the submitter and proofreader do indeed show up as links on
volunteer produced books. However, they definitely do NOT show up as
links with Internet Explorer 11 using my Window Eyes 8.4. So they
appear with Firefox but not with Internet Explorer with the same screen
reader. I have no idea. And they do show up with IE11 using JAWS. So it
would appear that the weak link here is Window Eyes.
As I said, a minor issue. But now I know I can at least use them if I
want to, as long as I remember to do it with Firefox.

Hi Madeleine et al, I am using JFW ver. 16 and the submitter and
proofer names are showing as links on volunteer produced books. This is
with I.E. 11 on Windows 7. Deborah From:

Hi Evan, Thanks, yes that makes more sense. It’s especially odd
because I have links on my end. I do have more permissions than the
average volunteer, but still, this is definitely weird. Would a few
other people on this list mind checking this out? I want to see if it’s
all volunteers or if Evan’s account could have some kind of glitch.
Duly noted about your tools to search with; I’ll see what I can find
out. Thanks, Madeleine From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Madeleine,
The names are not missing, it’s just that there no longer links on them.
When I would go to a volunteer produced book, when I hit the link for
the title, below the other book info such as quality, date submitted,
copyright date, etc. would be the names of the submitter and
proofreader. Both had links on them or were links, or however you say
that. When I clicked either of those links, a list of books would come
up that they had either submitted or proofed, depending on which name I
clicked on.
Now, the names are still there, there are just no links on them anymore.
Hope that is clearer.
As for the searches, I’m using Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 7
64-bit laptop with Window Eyes 8.4.

Hey all, Thanks for your feedback! I’m working on fixing the “my scans
in process” link part but it might take a little while. Evan, can you
explain where exactly the proofer/scanner names are missing from? Is it
from books live in the collection? Is it from the checkout queue? If
you could clarify I can look into that. I was not aware that this was
changing or had changed so I definitely want to get details! I don’t
know if I’ll be at all helpful with the search issues you’re having,
but if you could tell me what tools you’re using I might be able to at
least ask about it. Best, Madeleine From:

Overall, the new site is working well for me. Just a few minor issues
I’ve seen
1. When I go to a volunteer produced book, there are no longer links on
the names of the submitter and proofreader; so You can’t click on their
names to see what else they’ve done.
2. The My Scans in Process page now takes three clicks to get to where
it used to take only two. It used to be on my Volunteer Home page. So I
just clicked on Volunteer Home, then My Scans in Process. Now you have
to go to Volunteer Home, then Books in Process, then My Scans in
Process.
3. When I do an Advanced search, I used to be able to skip directly to
the results. At the top of the page was that link that said skip to 1
through such-and-such of so many results, (which has always worked for
me in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox by the way, at least not the
last time I tried it). You used to be able to just hit that and you’re
instantly placed on the first search result. Now I have to hit the h
key three times to go to the third header to get to the first result. I
tried searching for the word “result”, but that doesn’t put me at the
first result, but well above it. I still have to hit the h key three
times to get to the first result, which is what I had to do in the
first place.
As I said, minor issues that I’m sure I’ll get used to, but for me,
they’re ways in which I think the old site was superior. And of course,
the new site is not set in stone. Minor modifications are sure to occur
as more feedback comes in.
