I have noticed that your entries in the review section of your books are little more than copying the book's author and title details, with no actual review, evaluation or even reaction to the book. This is why so many of your reviews are flagged as not reviews. I'm not sure why you put these details into the review section - there is an appropriate section if you want to make notes to yourself. The review section of the book's record is for reviews, however short or long.

On the list of "most prolific reviewers" you are shown as having some 3000 reviews, but your home page says as to review: "None so far."' How can you be one of the most prolific revierers if you have not reviewed any books?

I'll have to do so-- it looks interesting! Though it may be a while before I get around to buying or finding a copy... I swear, I need to stop finding new books to read--- my want to read and TBR list have no end in sight! AHHH! Lol. Oh well, I'll never stop! ;)

Hi! Thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries. Looks like we both have a taste for the erotic, so I already like you! :-) I see that you don't have any books in your library by Lisa Marie Rice or Sandy Lynn-I highly recommend both.
Take Care,
Stacey

The problem is cranrazz added the book manually. You can get this info from clicking on details on the left hand side of the book's detail page and scrolling to the bottom.

We are considering an upgrade in the future that would address this issue but for now you'll have to also add it manually.

I hope that's helpful.

Hi! Could you give me an example? A book and the user's library you found it in? Thanks. -Mike

That would be great if you would delete all the books and reimport. It would give me the ability to study the problem if it re-occurs. At the moment when you use 'clear queue' it deletes every record in the queue associated with your username. Instead it should probably mark the record deleted but keep it around for history's sake. Anyway, none of these are your concerns... but after you upload the file again don't clear the queue even if there are failed items in there. We can do it later. Thanks again! Keep me posted.

Glad to add you, hoping for better luck on this import. (;

I've got my Columbo jacket on, doing my best to piece together the events that led up to the mass duplication of your books. My hair is messy but I'm looking for a cigar to complete the costume. I see you uploaded five files but it's not as easy to see which one(s) you actually submitted. When you uploaded you would have been presented with a bunch of import options. Did you submit that page more that one time (either more than once with the same file or with different files)? Your files had 1248 books with ISBNs and 149 non-ISBN books. Did you notice how many books were in the queue after you submitted? I see at some point you also must have chosen the 'clear queue' option from the import page which makes me think either you had way more books in there than you wanted or something else was going wrote. Any clues would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

As far as getting rid of dupes I want to make sure you aren't deleting at the same time I am or we might lose books that we want to keep. Just let me know that you're done. I would also prefer to wait until I find the source of the problem before the evidence gets deleted so if you don't mind your library being in it's current state while I figure this out I'd appreciate it.

Hi, I noticed you used the import feature and ended up with many duplicates. Did something go wrong on our side or did you upload the same file more than once?

Did you know you can bring up duplicates under Your Library -> Power Edit -> Miscellaneous Powers? This will help you get rid of dupes. If it's our fault let me know and I'll do it for you (;

You can email me or leave me a comment to get in touch.

Thanks,
