Can't find my new book addition request

[Emre]

Hello,

I've created a new book addition request, but I can't see it in https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group....

It said " Your topic was posted. " but when I try to view it again at: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... it's not found, as if doesn't exist at all.

What should I do?

I don't know why that should happen, you could try posting it again.

Super weird! I created a new request. It said my topic was posted. I immediately looked at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... and I was able to see my message in the list. But when I clicked on it, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., again, page not found. I refreshed the discussion list and my post is nowhere to e found :O

If you still cannot post the request ask support https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

I've had threads randomly disappear like that after making them, and I have no idea why, but usually I've managed to get them to stay on the forums after altering the text just a little bit. My only advice is to maybe put a paragraph that says something like "this got deleted twice, hopefully it stays now" at the beginning and maybe whatever system is deleting your threads doesn't notice it anymore.

Is this actual sound logic or just me doing some weird internet superstition? I have no idea. But it's worked for me thus far.

Tried your suggestion. Same thing happened! :( I was able to see it in the discussion list. Refreshed the web page and now it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just asked the Goodreads support. Hopefully an expert can help me with this weird issue.

I'm super glad that one of the experts helped me! :) The book is now available in Goodreads, at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....
