A WL book I posted had one wisher.......was awaiting the wisher's acceptance and today it totally disappeared from my acct. doesnt show as a 'broken' transaction or anything. Is that normal if a WL book does not get accepted within 48 hours?

Just now I tried to post a book from a friend's WL. It showed her name and  said ' you are posting to XXXX'.  I clicked 'post this book'-- the whole thing  has disappeared.  Are there lingering glitches from the recent outage?

I think it is normal that a timed-out transaction doesn't show in the poster's "Transaction Archive" list, though it does show in the requestor's list 

But if you mean the book has disappeared from your shelf, that isn't normal.

No, book was still on my shelf I think, just no record of that broken transaction at all. I did contact the person who book was chosen to go to as she is a friend here on PBS, and she never got offered the book.
