I can't post books to my shelf.  Or at least I can't see them and they don't show up on a search of my shelf or when I look up the individual book's description (doesn't say it's on my bookshelf).  But when I try to post it a second time, it says I can't duplicate a posted book on my shelf. 

Anyone else experience this?

I haven't tried anything else - I'll see about that now.

Yup - can't delete from RL either.

I just posted 10 books and not a single one is showing up on the bookshelf as posted. Thanks for discussing this so I know it is not just me.

I am not receiving emails regarding any PM's or book actions (Requests or WL postings, I've had two) here...I've sent a notice to the Team...I would check daily to see if you have action to your account.

The WL adds are not showing up in the main display but I think they're definitely there. I ran both the print and spreadsheet functions & new adds were showing up there.

How did you add them, I can't even do that. All I get is "The page is not working"

 

Oh I'm in Chrome.

Tried to delete books from wishlist several time, but nothing changes - the books are still on my wish list.  Won't let me change them to hold either.

I have contacted PBS about how the site is reacting for me.  But I imagine they are being hit with alot of complaints/questions so I don't plan on hearing anything right away.

I just posted some books and a WL book with no problems. Also was able to mark books that I sent out today without problems. Was able to take a book off my RL list this morning. Haven't tried anything else. Pat

When I post a book to a friend, it doesn't come off of my tbr list and go to my bookshelf.  It seems to post to the person ok but doesn't come off of tbr.  This isn't an issue if I post a book fifo.

I tried searching for a book by ISBN, name and author, only to have it tell the the site was trying to redirect me too many times.  I put the ISBN into post books and the book I'm looking for pulled up fine.  I accidently added it to my BS and when I went to remove it, it is not showing up on my BS but won't let me post it again either saying it would be a double post.  I hope nobody requests it as I can't take it off my BS.
