We are unable to edit any of our own posts at the moment - a GR glitch/bug! They are aware of it but goodness knows how long it'll take to fix :(

Glad it's not just me! I was just going to see if you were having problems when I found this. I haven't been able to edit anything since yesterday morning. I hope it gets sorted soon! 😊
Thanks for the update, Brenda!

[Anna]

I shall be very careful what I write!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It seems to be sorted now - I'm going to check with this post :)

And it is! Yay!

Great. That was driving me crazy!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes, it was frustrating Meg! You don't realise how much you use it, until you can't!!

[Diana]

I can't add books/author links and when I go to my Reading Challenge it's not there only a couple of my friends' challenges.

I just tried it and have no problems Diana. Perhaps it's your end? Are you using a laptop?

I am using IPad and have never had problems before. 🤷‍♀️

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Not sure what to suggest Diana - just keep trying I guess..... sorry!

I'll do a bit of research and see if I can solve it. If not I'll contact GR.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good luck :)

[Diana]

I've lodged a question with GR. I'm on a laptop right now and its fine but on my Ipad its a real mess.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Did you do a reboot on the Ipad Diana? My son always asks me if I've turned the device off then on again when I have a problem :) It's strange that it's working fine on your laptop and used to work the same way on the Ipad. Maybe it needs updating? Goodness knows, technology gets beyond me at times!

Is this on Safari or the actual GR app, Diana? I mainly access Goodreads via Safari on my iPad and haven’t had any issues. Touch wood.

Yes its on Safari. I logged out and in to GR and rebooted my IPad but still issues.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I hope GR can help you out Diana..

[Diana]

I went to the mobile version and it's back to normal. Not sure what is going on with Safari but mobile will do until it's sorted.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good news Diana :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thought I would mention - my email notifications, plus the notification icon - have stopped sending me alerts. I know there have been more that I should have had. Perhaps it's happening to others too...

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Happening to me too.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh is it :( At least that means it's not just me then.

Thought GR had been quiet today lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha

[Janelle]

Oh it’s not just me! Haven’t had a notification for 8hours!

[Leonie]

Me too! And I've checked, and my email address is verified. At least it's not just me then. (Usually it is, and it's the verification problem.)

[Janelle]

Looks like it hasn’t fixed itself overnight......

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Letting you all know Goodreads have turned off notifications as of yesterday noon'ish. Here's the link: https://help.goodreads.com/s/announce...

I wish they would let everyone know with a message on the home page - it's not hard!!!

[Janelle]

Wow! That’s incompetence. Thanks Brenda

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No worries Janelle :)

Yeah that's a bit frustrating! I didn't realise how much I relied on notifications until I stopped getting them lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Exactly! Usually you can rely on the icon in the top corner of the page, but even that's out :(

[Sarah]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one missing notifications!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

🥴

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Not having notifications actually makes things tedious as well as complicated.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It does - can you imagine the amount of stuff we are missing?!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I know:(

[Kathryn]

I agree it’s a bit tedious, but I’ve been finding that it’s not too hard to see which threads in a group have new comments if you go to the group home page and click on “unread topics” at the top of the threads. That way you can see all the threads in that group that have comments you haven’t seen.

However, it’s definitely tedious if you’re in more than a few groups and have to do that for each of them!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It is Kathryn - and I'm bound to miss something important! lol

[Janelle]

Here’s a link to the full list of issues (well that they’re admitting to!) :

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Janelle, yes the notification issue is to do with spam/porn that has been filtering through and they're trying to eliminate it. I hope they can do it quickly!

[Diana]

Not sure what's happened but my issues seem to have corrected themselves.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Four days and counting. That's not quick. I just hope they bother to fix it at all!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

2.40pm Saturday was my last email notification :(

[Krystal]

Yeah mine is still ongoing. I get the orange notification for friend requests and messages, but no other notifications.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Notifications seem to be back!!!!!!!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Thank goodness!

[Janelle]

Yay!

[Deb]

On the topic of GR weirdness; now every time I log into Goodreads I get a notification from Chrome that my passwords may have been compromised. Odd thing is that I only get it from Goodreads, nowhere else. Is anyone else getting this / can understand this?
