A slight change to my previous message about the submitter and proofer link issues ... using Windows 7 and Firefox 32, I can see these as links on the book description pages, but clicking on them either does nothing or takes a really long time to bring up the list of other books by that person. If I click with the other button so it brings up the list of alternate actions and select open in a new window, the list comes up right away.

They may be further down the page than before, but there are still links for scanner and proofer. However, it takes quite a while for anything to come up when you click on one of those links.

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.
