message 1: by Mousum (new)

Mousum | 10258 comments Looks like combine option has been limited to 10 combines only, before locking out for 30 minutes. Is this a new policy?

Scott | 8688 comments They may still be doing maintenance on the back end, and don't want the system to get overloaded. They have imposed temporary limits like this before.

Emily | 17491 comments It would be good for moderators to let us know about such maintenance so that we could prioritize what we are working on.

Yes. I've noticed minimal staff interraction in this group since Rivka left.

I think they are still getting their bearings and adjusting to different workloads, so I'm sure it will increase in time.


Elizabeth (Alaska) I'm curious about the 10 combines restriction. Over what period of time is that measured?

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Anyone else finding themselves locked out of author profile pages after working on their books? Added to the combine cutoff, it's getting quite restricting.

Sorry for the slow communication here - the combine tool should be working as expected. Please let me know if you're still hitting that rate limit.

Mousum | 10258 comments Thank you Jaclyn. Working as expected.

Sydney Palmer | 3 comments I'm not entirely sure if this is where I would do this, but I couldn't find another thread for it...
Is there a way to have another author name (or pen name) under this account? All the books for "Sydney Hayes" are mine as well. Sydney Hayes is my maiden name.

All these books are mine, but the author name is my maiden name.

You need to start a new thread in the Book Issues folder.
