In recent weeks, I noticed when I receive a book from another member, it isn't going into my TBR list.  There used to be a checkbox you could uncheck if you didn't want the new book in TBR, but it is gone.  When I finish a book and want to repost it, I have to put in the ISBN.  It isn't hard, but it will stop tracking the miles on a book.  Anyone know what happened?

I got 6 books in the mail today and I checked them into the system as usual. I even unchecked the box for one book I plan on keeping. I just checked my TBR list and the other 5 are there.

It's still asking me if I want to add them to my TBR.

Are you using an alternate address? Since that feature is intended to be used for ordering books for other people, it behaves differently; e.g. it doesn't give you the RWAP options. It makes sense that it also wouldn't put the book on your own TBR, but I don't know for sure if that's the case.

Thanks, Cathy.  That is exactly what is happening.  I mail my books from my office in a different town from where I live.  The mail carrier at work said the post master was upset that their post office wasn't getting credit on my printed postage.  I changed the address on my account to work address and then have been requesting books to come to my home address.  I did this a few weeks ago and it never occured to me that was when this started.  I will just start having books shipped to my work address or start mailing from home.  Thanks for your help.
