Sorry - hit send by mistake ...

This morning I can't look up any book from any page or search button.  I just get a blank page titled: https://www.paperbackswap.com/forum/actions.php

I can click on a book from my bookshelf or my TBR or BIR page and it will go to the description page, but can't look up a new book by ISBN or it's title.

Anyone else having trouble?

I've found that if I enter a new ISBN or book title, I have to enter it twice before it will come up. Have you tried that? Good luck. Pat

Entering it twice works for me.  The first time, it just brings me back to the page I was on as if I hadn't entered anything.

Yes to entering the book twice.

I prefer paperbacks to hardbacks and when I see the book I want, I add it to my wishlist. Then when I see that it has been on the wishlist, I check to see if there are other options, now the drop down has disappeared and I have to individually look at every one. Is this something new?

Thanks for the advice.  I will give the double attempt a try and see if that works.
