Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments Since this is an Author feedback area for Goodreads, I have some.I had a heck of a time getting into the author's groups.

You know how when you click on "groups" in the Goodreads bar you get a page of all the groups? When I click on the heading for "Goodreads Author Groups" I get this message, "Oops - we couldn't find that category." I also tried clicking "more..." and I get the same message.

I only got into this area when someone posted and it came up in my notifications. I went to that post and followed the subheadings backwards until I got to the main Goodreads Author Group page.

Is it just something with my account? Can some of you click on "Goodreads Author Groups" off the Groups page to see if it does the same thing?

Hannah (normalgirl) | 398 comments I am not having that problem with this group. Maybe it was a group that did not exist anymore? Because this is Goodreads Author Feedback Group. Or the url could have been moved to a new location in gr.

Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments It's not a problem with this group. I left my post here because this is for author's to give feedback to Gooedreads, right? I'm saying the general "Goodreads author groups" link isn't working in the bottom right of the general groups page http://www.goodreads.com/group so I can't see what other groups there are for authors.

I see headings on the groups page for: my groups, new groups, groups in the US, Featured groups, recently active groups and Goodreads author groups. The last being the link that doesn't work. I click on it and get "Oops - we couldn't find that category." How can it not find it, it's right there? At least not for me.

I did send a message to the help area as a "bug" Thanks for trying to help though. :(

Hannah (normalgirl) | 398 comments I see what you mean. That category could be undercontruction at the moment which is why it isn't working. Do you know how long you have had this problem?

Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments I've been trying to find the authors area since July when I joined. Then a few days ago I noticed the "authors group" at the bottom of the groups page. I obviously can click on the 5 that are showing but that's it. I get the error message when I click on the heading and also if I click "more..."

So all I can ever get to is the 5 that are showing, or if I catch a link on someones status, then back track into some of it.

Patrick Brown | 276 comments It's a bug, definitely. I've reported it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Thanks for reporting.

Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments Oh good knowing it's not just me not understanding something. Thanks,Patrick, for reporting it. I reported it yesterday in a "bug" message to Help, but I'm willing to bet you articulated it better than I.


message 8: by Cindy (new)

Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments Nothing yet. I'm guessing fixing bugs takes a while. I do a small website for my historian's organization. I can't imagine the time it takes doing one this big.


message 9: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Brown | 276 comments Yep, still working on it. Thanks for your patience.

Cindy Amrhein (historysleuth) | 55 comments Sigh. Still not working. :(
