I don't remember them asking for beta testers, but there's lots I don't remember these days. I wish I'd done that.

They did ask for beta testers. I don't know how many of us mentioned the short synopsis issue. I, for one, admittedly forgot to, but I don't like the fact that it's not there anymore either, but as a member and as a volunteer, you could have been a beta tester and seen the layout before it became live.Bob wrote:I think the jury is still out on the new site, but I also miss the short synopsis. Why have both a short and long synopsis if they are going to appear together on the book information page?--Makes no sense. In the past I'd use the short synopses on the "new books" page to determine whether or not I wanted to do further investigation. But, I'm not going to bring up a new screen for a book unless I really think I want to read it, as that could take a long time. As I said in the beginning, I think the jury is still out on the new site--they still have problems so I think we should give them time to work some of those out. I do wish they had asked us what we thought about the layout before surprising us with it. After all, we might have some ideas of our own.Bob ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Robert Riddle <mailto:captinlogic@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Tuesday, January 13, 2009 8:44 AM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] I don't like the new site I don't like the new bookshare site.
