I noticed it dropping in the last few weeks, but thought it would bottom out before it hit 350. About a week ago I saw we had a chance to drop below 300, so I've been checking it every day or so when I look for new books to see if it did. It's not difficult to check with JAWS. Go to the bottom row of the Step 1 list and press Ctrl-Alt-5, and JAWS will tell you in which row and column of that table that you're in. Just remember to subtract 1 from what it tells you because the top row contain column headings, not a book. BTW, we're back above 300 now. The list contained 302 books a moment ago when I checked to make sure which key is pressed in JAWS to announce the row and column numbers in a table. As for the Approval Queue, there's no way to know until Gustavo updates the list, and you have to count those by hand since they aren't in a table.

How long has i been that low, or do you know? And do you have a way of knowing how many books are in the admin queue?? And nope, I'm not trying to make waves, jst wondering. Thanks.

It's the first time I've seen it that low. Sometime early last year it was up around 600. It shrank down to around 375, then it went back up into the low 500's. Now it's back down under 300. All of you who have been focusing on validations instead of submissions have really made a difference. Of course, Carrie's focusing on bestsellers sure hasn't hurt. <Smile> Gerald ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- No virus found in this incoming message.
