This is probably blatantly staring me in the face but I dont see the answer.

I checked the Club Wishlist to see if my book was WLed, there was 1 person wishing for my version. So I put it on the TBR and it said it was ARed. So I posted it. I just checked my account page thinking the request should have come through by now and I see that its on a 48 hour hold.

Now if it were ARed it should have ordered it automatically and sent me the request. I get that if they canceled it would have gone on to the next person but there was no next person so what the heck happened?

Short of a person WLing it within an hour of me posting it I dont see how that happened. Its possible but not very probable.

Hi Chris, maybe the person who had it on auto request was out of credits; so it changed to the 48 hour hold?

AHA! I knew it would be a simple answer. Thanks that makes sense and is probably what happened.
