[bksvol-discuss] so annoying

At 4:39 this morning I tried to submit a book. As usual I got to the
final step, where you can put in comments and that's the last step. It
hangs. It hangs. It hangs. At 5:04 I got a notice that the site was
having difficulties and I should try later.
Except if I wanted to submit a book LATER, I'd be doing it later. I
wouldn't be doing it at 4:39 in the morning. Later I'm going to be
sleeping. So when I get up today I start to submit the book again.
Good thing I checked my submissions list. It's listed there as being
submitted at 3:38 a.m. And at 6:17 I got an email saying my book had
been submitted. How was I supposed to know? The page never refreshed
to say hey your book went through.
I wish if the site was having difficulties it would say so on the
FIRST step. Not on the LAST step. Then I wouldnt' bother to spend so
much time sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting to
see if it's going to go through, because you cannot move off that tab
either, you have to stay active on the Bookshare tab or, in my
experience, it takes even LONGER to submit, or won't submit at all. So
much for the modern windows multitasking, right? Bookshare needs to
catch up with the times.
