Because it is a multi author series, and at present the db cannot attribute it to the various authors.
As the the BAD series (of which I've read several) I'm assuming its because Playing Easy to Get has IAD series up first, but not certain on that one.
Just for fun I'll make you the "primary author " in the hellchaser series (though I like K. Anderson!) and see what that does.......hmmm.. 45 minutes and nothing..oh well
I spoke too soon! (darn sluggish pooter)Hellchaser is now on your page... lessee about the other.... (no promises!)
It appears Bad Agency Series is now on your page... I removed the numbering... apparently the multiple numbers such as 1.5, or combo numbering like 1.5, 4.5 etc. confused the computer....Please check it out and let me know if this works for you!

lol it's not really my page but awesome job. I guess it all depends on who the primary author is?

I'm afraid there's no good workaround for this bug; we just have to live with it and hope it gets fixed.

No, those should be fine. I've restored the numbers and the series seems to be showing just fine still.
Thanks Cait... I'm honored to be among the first wayward newbies in your next 100,000 edits!
@Cait- I understand. Hope Goodreads does something about this. :)
Actually, if we're ever allowed to change the primary authors in collaborations just to ensure the series shows on their author page, (or if a feature is added to accommodate) have a long list of series starting with author J.C. Hendee's Noble Dead books to be handled. Rivka was very firm on thread where J.C. was discussing.(Just the example currently coming to mind because of my own currently reading.)
Hello again. Just noticed that https://www.goodreads.com/series/4035... doesn't appear on the author's series page again. Sherrilyn Kenyon seems to be the only author though (no collabs or anything).

(there's not enough space for many series to show up on an author's profile. I'm not sure how it's categorised, but I'm assuming it's by post popular).
That's what I did, but it still doesn't show up. I see Dark-Hunter series without the "s" but I can't find the Dark-Hunters series with the "s"https://www.goodreads.com/series/4035...

I tried poking around the books in the missing series for awhile, but I can't find any obvious reason it wouldn't be showing on the author's page except that the numbering is wonky...? We need a librarian with advanced juju to weigh in on this one.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the series. Maybe the one who edited it made a mistake?
this is the phantom thread that refuses to stay marked 'read' for me. anyone know why...?anyways, i am sorta familiar with the series. they are a bunch of overlapping series set in the same universe. these two series seem like they are both incomplete versions of the same list:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/4035...
https://www.goodreads.com/series/8361...
The ordering on both isn't quite right, given this more authoritative list I found online, which actually includes the Chronicles of Nick:

I'm inclined to fix one series and delete the other. Any objections?
Mod
I think there were some deleted posts. That can mess with the "read" marker.
Here is the re-purposed orphan series:https://www.goodreads.com/series/4035...
Now the completest, bad-assiest list of sherrilyn kenyon ever. It now appears on the author's profile. After second thoughts, I'm not going to delete the other list, as some readers might prefer the series/verse without the YA books.
Whew. I think that might have tipped my librarian quota to full for the week.
