I am doing something wrong.  I have my account on vacation hold due to moving.  I posted 2 wishlisted books to another member.  It showed I posted  to them, but it never showed up on my books to mail.  I took my account off of hold, and instantly, on the FIFO one went to one member and the other went to another member.  I cancelled out the one that was auto requested and posted to the member I wanted to.  The other book was on 48 hr wait.  They accepted the book, I cancelled, and posted to the member I wanted.  But, it went right back to the same member that was a 48 hr. wait.  What is happening?  What am I doing wrong?

When you post books while you are on hold, they go FIFO when you go off hold. Go off hold, then post the book to the person you are trying to get to.
