60 Maddz : It's not an anthology.
61 Kalira : Think of what might be community-curated, themed collections on LibraryThing, of which there are 12 a year. . .It's not a book at all, but a place to find (and vote on) many books .
67 malinablue : Found it! I actually went to google and typed in "librarything vote" and finally discoveredthe lists page and the categories . Excellent! Glad to know this, too.

There is a clue where the solution page has the same problem as one that was the same type of page in the previous hunt. If you have a situation where you're certain you have the right page but don't see the banner (even when you go back to the hunt page), try refreshing the solution page - if it's right, the banner will flash up for a second and it will register when you go back to the hunt page.
87 laytonwoman3rd : I had this problem with Ghost No. 3. I've tried it repeatedly throughout the day, feeling absolutely sure I had the correct solution, but getting no banner. Just now, I tried Lorax's suggestion, and sure enough, it worked.
97 laytonwoman3rd l: I refreshed the pageyes, it is a list and then went to my hunt page and refreshed that--voila! the banner appeared.

>3 humouress: I knew it! I couldn't think of anything else it could be so I kept trying but I didn't get my ghost until I tried refreshing the page just now.

The UK translation didn't work for me to get the ghost, I had to switch to American English to obtain it.

115 mousegrl : you might be refreshing the wrong page. When you think you found the answer refresh the page. That is what I did and got it.
116 bookofsecrets : #3Think homepage & monthly "best" lists. I had to refresh the page to make the ghost show up .

178 alaudacorax : This was so frustrating. I was certain I was on the right page. Then I idly clicked on the top book of the list—more in desperation than anything else; that didn't help; clicked the back button to return to the page ... and it said I'd found the ghost!

>7 humouress: Yes, I refreshed at random times and places. It finally gave me the ghost.

honestly. i clicked on every spoiler on this thread before i understood it was just a reloading issue?!?! i went to/refreshed the page at least 10 times before it just now finally gave me the ghost. it's the only ghost page that has done this. what is going wrong?
11tammyhennig
Yup, a reloading issue for sure. I went to the page a couple of times knowing it was the correct one then I finally thought of reloading it twice and got the ghost!
