I've been trying to request a book and when I hit the request button nothing happens.  The button dims and the request doesn't go through.

It's either not working, or I've just requested the same book 4-5 times.  So far it hasn't shown up on my home page as a requested book.

There must be something going on - certain things are not working for me either, like the tabs in the My Account page.

From the look of some other postings, this isn't the only problem going on right now.  At least I was able to mark a book received just before I requested another book.

 

And the cat just upchucked on the bed.  Looks like I have something else demanding my attention.  A mother's work is never done!!  Or was that too much information???

The PBS team is aware of some issues going on, so hang in there!  Things should be back to normal soon!

I noticed that I can't add anything to my TBR or RL and the search function is flaky.  I figured they were doing some kind of maintenance.  Wonder what kind of fun stuff they will reveal for us today?

They might be tinkering with the sight again. I can't add anything to my reminder list.

All good now.  Book finally requested.  I was getting worried as my TBR pile is only 12 feet long.
