Jessica | 963 comments I'm not sure why the star reviews aren't showing up on this book:

I tried changing my review to see if it would show up, but it didn't. Am I missing something?

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Jessica,

Well, it says 1 review and it's showing up - by an Eric.

By any chance, did you review an edition of this book with the author's name spelled wrong/differently?


message 3: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Nope, I actually added this edition. It's not the typed reviews I'm not seeing, it's the stars. I know I starred it (shows up) and I see someone else did too, but it doesn't show up at the top.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Sometimes the rating averages get "stuck" -- that's as technical an explanation as we've got -- but there's a new librarian function to reset them. Does it look correct to you now?



message 5: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Yes it does! Brilliant, thanks!


message 6: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Ah Cait, I forgot to try to refresh the book rating stats. Thanks!


message 7: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Where's that function at, so I know for the future?


message 8: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) | 2400 comments Jessica, When at a book click edit and it's

Librarian change log.
Refresh book data from Amazon.
Refresh book rating stats

The last link of those three.

message 10: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 963 comments Thanks Lisa!

Eva- I was looking up the book for something else, and I just noticed it.

I'm usually looking for something so deeply that I don't veer off track! I'll have to keep my eyes out more because I do look at that feature- to see exactly how many 5 star ratings and 1 star ratings a book has that I'm considering reading.
I'm glad I came upon this post!
