Grisette | 233 comments I tried to add a Quote but it is not appearing on the book page. Unless there is some lag time or vetting process?

Hi Grisette
It pays to give Librarians as much info as you can so we can help you. :)

Can you link to the quote or type the quote here?

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the quick response. Here is the quote link: https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes...

It still has not appeared in the book page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Do Quotes section (with header, placeholder and all) only appear once a quote is added?

Thank you

I haven't struck a caching delay before (& I regularly add quotes for books I enjoy) but it looks like this could be the answer. If it still isn't appearing 48 hours after you add it, you could query with Support (Staff) as it would be a site functionality issue, which librarians can't help with.

Thank you for the explanation! I will check it out over the weekend.

That's ok I should have said it could be a functionality issue. I have to say when I add quotes I usually only check my profile page to see if they appear there.

Some feedback: 24hrs did the trick!

Thank you again Carol!

For future reference, when adding quotes there is indeed a 24-48 hour caching delay before they show up on the book's page.
