Go to bed and everything's still there, get up this morning and Aunty Z's wiped us all out of existence. Nice.
in actuality, collette, we've had our memories erased, and are now in an alternative universe in a Philip k. dick novel! that's why goodreads asks 'are you a robot?'.
yes, madam, we've always been here!
Well you obviously have been! 363 books and you only joined this month? Show off!
tech - what is the purpose of the group bookshelf - is it for recommendations?

I’ve been using my iPad and I’ve just noticed ‘Switch to mobile edition’ . All fixed now!
It was so weird waking up all ready to log into Amazon as always only to suddenly remember and then realise that I have nothing left to log in for on there - and it has left me with quite a sickeningly empty and bereft feeling that I've been dreading coming for over a fortnight now ;o<Thankfully though, my Inbox Notifications also reminded me that I do have somewhere else now to go and 'play' with all of my very dear Forum friends - and I really needed to know that today of all days ... (*wipes away tears and plasters on a big smile*) ;o>
It's going to take time to get used to the loss of somewhere I loved so much but here we are all together again ... and now also with pictures and in colour too!!! It'll never be Amazon - but then again nothing ever was going to be, was it? It was such a unique place and I'm SO grateful I got to find it and hang out there for as long as I did.
And GOOD MORNING to you all ... my friends and friends-to-be! ... x x x
I have two desktop PCs. The newer one runs Windows 7 and is a 64bit - on there the forums/threads that were open have shut down completely and nothing is visible. On the old one (running XP and it's 32bit), I can still see the Rock, Pop and Music forums but if I click on any of the threads (open in new tab) I get the End Of The World notice. Such nostalgia:
ROCK

Jeez, you gave me a fright for a minute there, Val. I thought for a second you'd had me on ignore, then realised it was whoever had started the other thread that was on the list above Album Tag. 😳
It was a very strange kind of Limbo effect for me last night too - click Page Refresh and ... POUFF!!! ... everything was gone forever ... then click back a Page and there everything all was once again.I kept doing it while my Head (and Heart) tried to adjust to it all - knowing that, once I shut my Laptop for the night, nothing was how it was always going to be from now on.

Amazon has bulldozed over a children's playground and built a graveyard. It is still possible to have discussions about specific product - including CDs, books, DVDs - by reviewing them or commenting on reviews or comments.
aye, but it's quite footery tho', and time consuming. I had considered deleting my reviews, but kept them there for one reason only - some of them are really good! (in fact, where do you think my reviews on here came from? (I repeat, I have no smiley face facility here!)
*l*U
Not working, is it? - LOL! ... perhaps you could Copy & Paste someone else's into your Post instead? ;o>

Whew! I too am an Amazon Refugee. I live in the US, and am most probably the worse person you ever met trying to navigate discussion boards, so I'm just thrilled my post got through!Edit: Sleeping is highly over-rated.

Since you used to visit the politics forum, there is a small group of exiles. Just type in Amazon in search, and click on the political refugees. You have to ask to join thanks to a troll, but they're looking for more participants.
