Hi!

I am completely lost: I beleived the topic name should be: Legacy Library indication shows up only at primary level author urls

Please compare:
http://www.librarything.com/author/hemingwayernest&norefer=1&all=1 (at the time of initial post the top level author url)
http://www.librarything.com/profile/ErnestHemingway

The Legacy Library relation disappeared.

I noticed this because on some works I could see it an half an hour ago and at some works I could not see it.

Regards Reinhardt

P.S. added &norefer=1&all=1 (at the time of initial post the top level author url)
P.P.S. Note: reedits of old posts can not be seen / detected in Your posts unless one would search them at the old / initial timestamp. (Sorry for all the edits!)

I hope to provide more details on this:
I cross author combined a work via url syntax.
involved authors: Nobel Prize Library and Ernest Hemingway
old CK Work link; new CK Work link

http://www.librarything.com/work/details/55920356
Ernest Hemingway, Knut Hamsun and Hermann Hesse displays (both as logged in user and as anonymous user):
Ernest Hemingway, Knut Hamsun and Hermann Hesse
by Ernest Hemingway

However the "Legacy Library: Ernest Hemingway" which I can see at http://www.librarything.com/work/book/57045219 is missung at http://www.librarything.com/work/details/55920356 .

This (the presence of "Legacy Library: Ernest Hemingway") might recover during next days. It might be a caching issue.

"Legacy Library: Ernest Hemingway" is there now: also at http://www.librarything.com/work/3231743/editions/55920356 ; an important link to understand LT

The combination of http://www.librarything.com/work/7034498/details/57679991 worked fine; "Legacy Library: William Faulkner" did show up imediately

Note: CK is doubled while combining works: Please see http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/changelog.php?type=1&item=703449...
The timestamps
(Today): 3:22:41 pm ... "people/characters" ... and
(Today): 3:22:41 pm ... "series" ...
are a result of the work combining procedure.
This does not provide additional relevant information. Such behaviour is also mentioned at http://www.librarything.com/topic/96503 "do not generate "deleted previous content" CK entries on save at empty CK fields"
