I am remarkable good at blocking out electronic nagging.
On another topic, I read your review for The Girl in the Mirror and just finished my own copy. Did you see THAT ending coming? You are pretty good at foreseeing endings, as I recall...

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for your patience! We’re happy to share that Goodreads has reenabled email notifications, in-app notifications, and push notifications to your phone. Notifications have been reenabled for any activities you've signed up to receive in your Account Settings. If you have any issues with your notifications going forward, please feel free to check Goodreads Help for updates.

I suspected it could go that way when the brother saw her in the hospital but it was still surprising enough that I had to read it twice to make sure I understood it XD But we better drift to another thread if we want to discuss further! :)

I have seen another comment from someone that they got that message from Goodreads Deborah. And it was while Goodreads were working on the notifications shutdown. Perhaps we should all be changing our passwords more often:)
Mod
Thanks Krystal :)

Now my homepage isn’t updating....is that happening to anyone else? The most recent post is 19h ago, the rest are 1d or more.

It’s always a relief when it’s not just me! Guess we wait until they fix it, again.

Another bug...
I also keep getting notified that I have a new inbox message. But when I go to my inbox there's nothing there.

This link doesn't work for me? Wants me to authorise or something?
Mod
The link is to ask a question I think, it comes up saying:Would you like to use your username and email to post a question on Goodreads Help?
And there is 'confirm' or 'cancel'. And nothing else.

Sounds about right lol. I guess it's like how I have to login again just to read my messages! They do have some weird things to tweak, don't they!
Krystal wrote: "This link doesn't work for me? Wants me to authorise or something?"I got that, too, Krystal. It seems to be working now. I wonder whether the website crashed or perhaps got hacked because of today's announcement of the Goodread's Choice Awards?
Mod
I have some new posts on my homepage feed, but the most recent one is still already 1d old. It certainly looks like they are trying to fix a nasty problem.
Yeah mine seems back in almost-action, with most recent updates being about 3hrs ago.

Now I want to know how long is "temporarily". Any search I do lately gets this message
Search is temporarily unavailable.
Use this time to read a book!
Apart from finding the message a bit condescending, "temporarily" has been going on for a while now......

Hi Phrynne- In desperation while working on a Listopia challenge I googled goodreads lists and logical guesses about the list name. Lo and behold: search results with a working link. I'm worried they are working on another "improvement." Sigh.

I've had that 'sarcastic' message a few times, but not lately...

I'm always wondering why they always try to 'fix' things that aren't broken, yet leave the things that are!
Is anyone else having problems with the "add book/author" button? Mine is not finding the books I am looking for, but just bringing up weird volumes with no ratings or details.
The search function seems to be playing up so I guess that affects the 'add book/author button' as well. Hopefully they'll fix it soon!
Mod
Has anyone else had a glitch(?) where you can't see your friends reviews? Like I'm on a book, and it has the list of friends who have reviewed, their rating and the comments on their review, but it's not showing the review itself? I don't understand but I hope my explanation makes sense haha
Yes Brooke, it’s happened to me but it’s random. It’s been happening a lot just recently though
Janelle wrote: "Yes Brooke, it’s happened to me but it’s random. It’s been happening a lot just recently though" Thanks for responding, sometimes I just wonder if it's just me or I've done something wrong. So thanks for letting me know it's not just me!

I've had trouble trying to find books in the search function, when I know they are there!It's been almost 2 years and I'm unable to post my NetGalley badges on my profile, it still hasn't been fixed!

Very frustrating!
Have you seen the beta version of the planned redesign of the book pages? It looks more like a sales catalog than a place to find details that help us to locate "my next read". It requires multiple clicks to see a lot of the information we use in challenges. I never could locate genres/users. I am so heartbroken that everything I rely on has either become a victim of its success or a casualty of the pandemic economy.

I get that on a bunch of other websites but I'm almost permanently logged in to GR lol
I checked it out once, it seemed to be more because I was using the same password on multiple sites.
