Dana | 148 comments Hey, Quinn! I created the series and added both books, but there seems to be an issue with Goodreads and the book page for book 2 is suddenly "unavailable" (even though I could see it just fine a minute ago).
I'd wait until tomorrow, I guess sometimes the database needs time to update. The series has been created, though, so that's done! :)

Quinn Blackbird (quinnblackbird) | 24 comments Thank you for the series creation.
Yeah, I see that just now - the book has disappeared entirely! I'll email GR if it's not reset in a few hours back to normal.

Again, thank you :)

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments Hi, I edited the book record and it is available once again. That's something I notice it happens sometimes and editing the record fixes it. However, the book was not added to the series.

Quinn Blackbird (quinnblackbird) | 24 comments Thank you, I've just updated the description (it seems to have been lost in the vanishing error).
Can the book now be added to series?

Hopefully it works this time!

QB

How did you edit the record when the page was unavailable? I had this happen to me once or twice and it'd be great to know how to fix this!

Yeah, apparently it's not been added. I can't add it right now, since the "Add Book to Series"-search pop-out doesn't seem to load. I'll try again tomorrow

Change the word "show" for "edit" in the URL :)

Oh, that's genius! Thanks so much!
I've just managed to add the book to the series, so everything should be sorted out now.
Quinn, could you add "done" to your topic's title, please? Thank you! :)

Quinn Blackbird (quinnblackbird) | 24 comments Yeah, I ended up emailing support & they seem to have fixed whatever mystery glitch was happening for us.

Updated the title.
Thanks to both for your help!
