I had several books posted to swap & they've all disappeared from my list!  I had one that was requested during the middle of my recent move when I forgot to put my account on vacation hold, so I missed responding to it.  Today is the first time I've checked the account since that and now all my posted books are gone.  My wishlist is still there.  Anyone have any idea what happened or have this happen to them?

How many did you have posted?  Maybe you missed out on more than 1 request.

I think if you have books posted, they're requested and you don't respond they're taken off your list.   If you didn't have many books posted, this is what could have happened.   If you had a lot,  they probably all didn't get requested in a short period of time, so something else happened.   Good luck.

Did you look at your transaction archives?

Yes, my transaction list shows just the one book request that I missed.

Do you have your bookshelf sorted to show "posted" books only?  If you missed a transaction, maybe the other books on your bookshelft were placed on hold.  If the bookshelf is sorted to show "posted" books only, the "hold" books won't be shown.
