I have deleted quotes #1-3 & #5. They may take anything from 20 minutes - 2 days to disappear from all views.

Number 4 I'm not so sure on. It's not original but it is a romantic quote.

Any thoughts fellow librarians?

I don't think it adds anything meaningful. I would delete it.

OK, it had no likes so I have deleted. Thanks for your opinion, lethe! :)


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments & I've remembered why I stopped working on quotes (well that & the Librarian lists don't work atm) The other 4 quotes the delete didn't take. I have just deleted again, so hopefully it will work this time.

Oh yes, I've had that recently as well. Very annoying.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments I haven't reported the glitch. I'll do that now.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2278 comments These quotes look to have been deleted successfully by staff. It is possible that there is now a cache on deleting quotes - which is odd because editing quotes still works instantly.
