chuckle--join the frustrated crowd, finally, Ann. grin You've either just been
lucky so far or what you've seen that you thought were new additions weren't.
smile. You do get my lists, though, don't you? Are they what you've been seeing
on the site?
A couple of times new additions were there, only8 to disappear. Carrie is
guessing that maybe the site will be fixed with Wednesday's deployment. I hope
so. She's been sending me her approvals when she's finished, usually between 11
and 12 p.m. pacific time, sometimes a little earlier. I then can click on the
title which takes me to the book title in the collection and edit the info.
It's way more time consuming than when the books show up on the view list. If
you happen to have last night's list, you might notice that the six books on
the bottom are slightly different from the rest. Those are ones Lindsie added
and I was able to take from the view list. The others are from what Carrie sent
me later. The View list hasn't had the quality rating, and may not when it's
back, so that will be missing from my list, too.
