Martin | 35283 comments Is anyone else seeing a number of corrupted image files which we cannot change due to
'Book cover image set by Goodreads.
Contact Experts if update is required.'
Here is one where I added correct image to a blank edition and it was changed by Goodreads just two days later

Is this the latest attempt to drive librarians away?

Martin | 35283 comments I saw the post regarding change to image permissions

This is alright by me when actual staff are posting real images, but when it is bots corrupting existing correct images it is annoying.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 19387 comments Just curious: Does anyone know the reasons behind this new limitation of our book cover editing permissions?

Martin | 35283 comments Maybe we don't have the understanding and skills of an 'expert'

That's very funny Martin, well said.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 19387 comments @Martin, did you flag the Goodreads staff-edit mentioned in msge #1 (as advised) and did you get a reaction?


message 11: by Martin (new)

Martin | 35283 comments I found it through a user request for image, they said they will contact support.
