Does anyone know why they removed the tab for you to order more from a member when they have offered you an item on your wishlist? I always look at the members shelf to see if they have anything else I might like and now I have to click on PM to get their user name then go from there to get to bookshelf. It's a pain in the butt. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change some sort of setting? Thanks for any help..

Tina

It may be the member's settings. There's a Setting which allows the member to hide their bookshelf, with various levels to allow everyone, only friends, friends of friends or no one to see it. Because you ordered a book the system may allow you to see the shelf; I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Or it could be in some cases the member has no books other than the one they offered you.

Also, if they've already printed the label (possibly with postage) the system is set up so you can't order right away because they have to amend the order and fix the label/postage, otherwise they see two separate orders and don't get the cost savings from mailing multiple books together.

It doesn't show that button if you have zero credits. I had a large stash that I eventually used up, and suddenly didn't have that button any more.

I have two books that are waiting for the sender to send them. One of them the sender has accepted and printed the label and the button is gone. The other book has been accepted but label not printed and it still has the button, so I think that once the label has been printed that button disappears. I've noticed that on books before. You can still see what the member has on their book list by hitting the PM button, but not sending a message.

I haven't seen the 'order more from this member' tab in years. I have to go through a series of tabs to get to the senders booklist. MOst times I do so except when the member is so quick to print the label  that there's no point.

I don't know about a tab (along the top edge?) But recently when I ordered a book, there was a button below to order more from member.

Diane is right. The button/tab is below and does disappear as soon as the sender prints the label.
