Multiple members are experiencing this issue, but I'm only using one as an example: LT member wisewoman.

1. View wisewoman's review page: https://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=wisewoman
2. Note that the total number of reviews shown at the top of the left-hand column totals 648.
3. Click "date" to reverse the sort order.
4. The number of reviews remains 648.

The bug is only visible when signed in as wiseoman:

1. Sign in as LT member wisewoman.
2. View wisewmoan's review page: https://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=wisewoman
3. Note that the total number of reviews is listed as 646.
4. Click "date" to reverse the sort order.
5. The number changes to 648.

The two reviews that are missing when signed in as wise woman are for these books:

The Last of the Mohicans
The Book of Three

The same is happening on the work page for affected reviews/books. Both reviews were posted on Nov. 10th. Reviews seem to clear up after a few days, but newer reviews are getting caught by this.

I am also experiencing this bug with four reviews I posted today. I tried logging out, and I still kind of see it.

For example, I do see my review of The Great Pirate Syndicate here: https://www.librarything.com/work/15616638/summary

But my review of Batman: Haunted Knight does not appear here: https://www.librarything.com/work/319363/reviews

On the other hand, when I sort my review list by most recent, the review of The Great Pirate Syndicate does not appear, but the one of Haunted Knight does: https://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=Stevil2001

Mine are showing up now with the correct number of 648 both ways sorting. Thanks much!

I reviewed Hostages to Fortune this morning, which is only the second review for this book. The work page says there are two reviews but shows only one:
http://www.librarything.com/work/75953/reviews/107615687

When I go to all of my reviews, it's there:
http://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=lauralkeet

And here's the permalink to the review itself:

This is such an odd bug. I just can't fathom why only the reviewer is unable to see their review on the page until it "catches up" in a few days, meanwhile everyone else can. So weird.

I'm having the same problem with a review I just posted for The Lacuna. I can't see it on the work page or on my review page when I'm logged in to my account. However, it shows up in both places when I'm logged in to a different account. Also, there is a discrepancy between the number of reviews on my profile page (1,023) and the number of reviews at the top of my review page (1,022) when I'm logged in as me. When I'm logged in to a different account, the numbers match.

Not sure where to put this - just reviewed Knausgaard's My Struggle: Book One. First, my review isn't posting, but THEN I noticed there were three identical reviews posted, but one has the name of a different LT member. OK so that is weird indeed!

Two of those identical reviews are from 'lt ammar test' accounts. IE you hit on a book where they are trying to track bugs down.

BTW as in the other bug reports, I see your review just fine.

Yeah, I can now see my reviews from >2 Stevil2001:, but they still don't appear in my list of all reviews.
