Just did a search in Books I've Read. Didn't work, but the book was there. Tried another title. No luck, even though I copied it correctly. Anyone else having problems?

I had problems when clicking on my personal messages, my TBR list, and a few other lists I wanted to look at.  I had to go another route to read my message.  Then once I closed my browser and went to sign in, I got those time out messages.  I tried four or five times, then gave up.  Such a bother!  The site is working now at least for me on my kindle, not like before.  Perhaps they were doing some quick maintenance????

Yes, Adrienne, that is exactly what happens.  I will contact PBS but if you all send a PM, it may be taken a bit more seriously.  I am beginning to tire of all the problems that pop up.  If I can get to the home webpage but everything else times out, that is a real pain.  My renewal is coming up and I will be evaluating the pros and cons of the site and the members.

I am having issues, too. I delete an item and it's still on the list. I delete again. Still on the list.

Today I'm having trouble opening the PM section and my lists, but no issue going to the discussion forums.  Firefox shows it's trying to open those pages but just gets 'stuck'.

Yep, the server is slow. It took over 20 minutes for it to display a review I wrote for a book.

Gerneral search function seems to be glitchy right now......finding some, not responding to other inputs--just erases what you typed into search bar.

searching for a name or titles doesn't work much of the time. isbn search works but I have to go to amazon to look up title and find the isbn. then I can search here for that isbn.
