usually it says which members have the most books by the author. Not sure when this broke!

I'm not seeing this. Is it fixed for you? If not it would be helpful to know your set-up and the URLs of a few examples.

Sorrry Tim.

I imagine (or assume) that you're working on the LBh author/authority database.
I saw (yesterday) a qualified author identified by a numerical code. This seems new. I think there's a lot of work and challenges involved in transforming the current multiple and diverse identities into a single alphanumeric authority... It will be an excellent thing, though...
...

While I'm at it, is there a kind soul who could look into the problem with birth and death dates, and the fields for "Date of First Edition" and "Official Author Name" (which cannot be modified even in case of an error or if the author separates)? Thank you very much.
