Hi all,There is something definitely wrong here. I'm not seeing the books from yesterday, Cindy. I'm seeing a list that starts with Star Bright. According to the page I saw, it was added on the 6th.
This is not acceptable, folks. I have not done anything to my computer. This list should work smoothly and flawlessly. As it is now, it's a mess. It's inconsistent, it's fluxuating by two-day intervals, and it isn't consistent from one web visitor to the next. Put it back to the way it was before! I don't know what's happening here, but at just after 20:00 EST, I'm not seeing the most recent books at all.
Pavi, Carrie, this is a serious problem and needs immediate attention. The New Books link used to work fine, it's not working any longer.
Ann P. Original message:
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.

No, Cindy, I do not mean Most recent books. I mean 'new books', which is found at the fourteenth link on the browse page.
This whole thing is ridiculous. Why is there a link to something called 'most recent books' and a link to 'new books'? This is stupid! I think that these two links go to separate pages. this is confusing and stupid, frankly. There should just be a page for new books, one page and one page only! *All* references to new material should be linked to that one page. Forget most recent books, forget all other links and pages and scripts to activate the database. Just have one page, one single page, period. You can have a million links to it, but all those links should go to that sole page.
This is really unfair that we volunteers and the general public have to struggle to see the new material additions. Why has this become so difficult? It should be a simple page that is updated consistently, and works no matter how you configure it. I don't understand this whole thing. It's totally ludicrous.
