Hello Felius,

I was trying to add some books in Chinese through the search engine, and I notice there are very few sources. I'd like to recommend Amazon.cn - http://www.amazon.cn － since you guys seems to like that site very much. Could you please add that to your LibraryThing libraries for Chinese? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your comment. I have my email address set that way, as before when I used another email address and left it formatted correctly, spam arrived. As the only site where I had used that address was here, I assumed that it was snagged by spammers. I hate spam and if someone really needs to get in touch, they can figure it out or leave a comment as you did.

Help! My friend picnicgal and I (prop2gether) are having crossed lines. We login as ourselves, get our own libraries, but are shown as logged in as the other party including the profile page!

Help!

I have had some problems today with LibraryThing.com. My friend (prop2gether) and I (picnicgal) both have computers on the same network at our job. Today, when I logged into LibraryThing.com, I was able to access my library, but when I clicked on the tab to add books, I was then logged in as prop2gether! When I clicked on the profile tab I was prop2gether, until I clicked again, and then I was myself (picnicgal). My friend (prop2gether) is having the same issue. She is logged in as herself, yet when she views her library it is actually my library and shows her being logged in as me (picnicgal). I finally logged myself out, closed my browser, deleted my cookies, files and history, and then started from scratch. So far, so good -- I am logged on as me, with my library, profile, add books, etc. However, now my friend (prop2gether) is having the same problems! Can you please let me know what is going on. It is terribly confusing and frustrating to realize that I may have been adding/deleting books to/from my friend's library and vice versa. Plus the login name changing based on whatever tab I press is really weird. I am a big fan of LibraryThing.com and enjoy having a place to catalog all the books I've read. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

I don't know who I should contact with my problem. My libray is not in alphabetical order anymore! This first started a couple of weeks ago. How can I fix? Or if you are not the fixer person who should I contact?

Hi. I hope I'm not being too much of a pest. Now the review showed up properly (I actually rewrote it) but now both of my reviews say I wrote them Dec 31, 1969!

Hi again. One more question if you don't mind? How long does it take for a review to show up? I reviewed John Adams this morning and my profile page shows one review but when I click on "see reviews", only the right side of the page loads showing other member's reviews and mine is not there nor does the left side of the page load showing my review. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks again!!

Hi. I'm new to LT. Something is bugging me and I was wondering if you could enlighten me. I have to date been unable to find my username listed on anyone's member library list. I have found several examples where I share let's say 30 books with an individual with a relatively small library, as mine is (167). When I go to that person's profile page and click on raw (vs. weighted), it lists books high to low in absolute numbers, correct? I have seen several instances where I think I should be able to see my username listed because let's say the lowest number of books in common is 18 (for example) and I have 30 in common. I'll see other usernames with 30 books in common but never mine. I look forward to hearing your analysis! Thank you so much!

Hi John; I'm honored. Keep checking as I have about 800+ more to go. Be patient as I'm learning and it's such a tedious project. Thanks for your help. Sherry

Dear John:

It is quite refreshing to see that you are still joking around in good mood.

Nevertheless and though we have learned that TPTB do not aprreciate Thingamabrarians--LT members, that is--reporting on (serious) trouble, still, you may want and have a look at e.g. Bug collectors : can't add books (/talktopic.php?topic=29975).

Frankly speaking, I think that an increasing number of caring Thingamabrarians are getting the message anyway.

Sincerely yours,

boekerij.

Hi Felius,

Sorry, haven't been on for quite some time now, just saw your comment on I am Legend. I saw the movie and I really enjoyed it, even though it was quite different from the book. I'm not sure about the ending though... I guess I just liked the movie because it was a good movie, not really as an adaptation of the book. The best thing about the book, imo, is the sense of desperate loneliness throughout the book and that wasn't captured in the movie.

I didn't even know there were previous adaptations! Shame on me... ^^

Anyway, tnx for your comment! I love random acts of comment :)

I'm glad you are pleased with your Secret Santa selections; I think they will still be relevant when they finally arrive. The choices were actually my wife's, she being the sci-fi authority in the house. I passed along your thanks.

Hi felius - Thanks for your response - the 12 hour delay was no problem for me, it's just nice to know when someone "hears" you! Have a good weekend! :-)

Hi felius - YOU DON'T NEED TO READ MY LENGTHY COMMENT BELOW! I e-mailed Tim last night, and he's posted in Talk that he's working on the problem now - so nothing for you to pass on!

I hope you've had a good holiday week...so far, anyway! I am back at work today - a little slow, but SO MUCH BETTER than I was. :-)

skrevet af HeathMochaFrost kl. 1:40 pm (EST) den Dec 27, 2007

Hi Felius - I saw that you'd posted in the Bug Collectors group about 12 hours back, and since I have no idea when Tim will be on, I just wanted to bring your attention to a rather annoying bug. When you select "edit book" and go to the wonderful spiffy new edit page for that book, the primary author's name is listed as "first last" even if it was previously entered "last, first." The main reason this is a PITA is that if you make any other edit and then click "save," it saves your author name as "first last" - and that throws off the author sort in the catalog. I had previously (weeks or months ago) entered Madame Bovary, and when I went in to edit the info a couple nights ago, I didn't do anything to the name. Then when I sorted afterward (and my author display in my catalog is "last, first," and sorted by author like 90% of the time), there he was in the "G" names, Gustave Flaubert.

The reason I wanted to point this out is that there *is* a thread in Bug Collectors, but the original posted thought it was a problem only for new items coming in through LoC, when really it's a larger problem. The thread is:
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...
and the real heart of the matter begins around message # 6. I should add that I was using IE 7 on Vista at the time, but I think other browsers/OSs are mentioned by others in that thread, so I don't think it's a browser issue.

I saved the first part of this message, then went back to test. It is happening in Firefox (latest version, I think 2.0.0.11) with XP as well. And, I found that the message "Sorting not working" in Bug Collectors is referring to the same thing, AND that the topic "'Other author' field causing an editing bug" MIGHT be related: Chris and his one good arm made a fix related to that post, and a few hours later is when the first post appeared about this issue, apparently incorrectly seeing it as an LoC problem. The original poster's problem might have begun before Chris did his work on the "Other Author" issue, but given the timing, I thought it was a good idea to pass that info along.

Sorry so long. I was sick in bed all day yesterday, am going to try some more fluids & crackers before going BACK to bed - but I must also have been suffering LT withdrawal. ;-) Thanks for any help you can give, and/or for passing on the specifics to Tim when he's available.

I just got my SantaThing last night, so I went and read your comment on the site. Excellent choice! It was only a year or so ago that I happened to acquire Blish's The Devil's Day, as having grown up reading his Trek novelizations, I was curious about his original fiction. I liked Devil's Day all right, so I decided to seek out the other two books in the "After Such Knowledge" sequence. So basically, you got exactly the book I meant when I put "James Blish" down on the list of authors!

I didn't know much about the book, but having read the back cover, I'm sure I'll enjoy it-- not only did I grow up Catholic, I went to a Jesuit high school, so I've always held a certain amount of affection for the Order.

So, all in all-- I was quite pleased to get what I got! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Hey there, I know it has been a few days since the whole server crash crisis, but somehow I have a feeling that you and the rest of the LT crew are working your rear-ends off to keep it all going great for us. I just wanted to say thanks. Just because it isn't in the spotlight at this moment, doesn't mean we aren't all aware and grateful of all the team is doing to keep us bibliomaniacs content!

Thanks:-)

I am also leaving things to see what happens, someone else has changed it already. I had put in all the related works except 1984 The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Vol. 3, which I omitted as I could not identify a vol 3 in LT.

I notice you have changed my hugo award entry for Storyteller.
The reason I entered it the way I did was to group it with other Hugo entries. If we are going to mave separate pages for each different Hugo catagories we had better decide so soon.
There is some discusion on consistant formats in http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...

Nice catch on the "need to register" thing. I totally glossed over that when setting it up because I was so gung-ho about making my Macbook Pro post :-)

LT is tough to admin, but it helps to also be a programmer -- so when something weird happens I can go track it down myself!

Thanks for the comment!
