It seems to be site wide Jools..the feedback group is discussing it too..
Still no luck with notifications :((
@ Carolyn, scary that there are such irresponsible, vindictive people about. I hope that's the end of it. Stay safe!
Thanks everyone. Hopefully whoever did it is happy he caused a lot of damage and leave it at that!Still no notifications this morning!

Still the same here Marianne, I've had one notification since yesterday morning, though I think they are aware of it now and trying to sort it.
I just got notification of yours here Marianne, so hopefully its fixed ^_^

Thanks Bette. The police have been and we'll let the neighbours know as well.

I was getting some notifications from other groups but None from Aussie Readers. I thought: "oh no, they've kicked me out!" lol:) Was relieved to read it was a 'site wide' problem.

But it's working now!
I had a sudden reduction in notifications, but I thought it might have been me being so slow to catch up with everything after last week. That happens occasionally - but I'm still getting only the occasional notification, rather than the vast quantities I normally get.
Mod
LOL Bette! Did you have a guilty conscience?? ;)
FINALLY the earth's stopped moving! (No, it's not what you think :)
Last Tuesday's earthquake held my guide hostage in Kathmandu for a week. Blocked roads, landslides and continuing tremors settled yesterday.
Now on five day walk home with Aussie donated supplies for his Himalayan village.
Yay!

Put them on your wish list with Amazon - they may go down in price by the time you're ready to read them Rita:) It's often the way that you'll outlay the money, and they go on special the following week (or something!)

I'm so glad Juliette, for all of them :)

Yes that's true Brenda, don't know why...they only have it on the US site for some reason?? :/

I'm not going to swap Rita - can't see any benefits!

I think they plan it lol - as soon as you by that book you really wanted, they put it on sale after. :p

I dither over some and others I just purchase straight away and then I get annoyed with myself when I see it cheaper later. But it's nice to just buy sometimes if you reeeaaaalllly want it. :)

LOL! You could be right!
I dither for ages, then I finally get over the dithers and I overspend! I then get the books, consume them, feel really guilty for blowing the budget and dither for a few months before buying anything else... Then, repeat the cycle.I am currently in between the overspending part and actually receiving the books, but the guilt has already kicked in.

It just depends how you want to use it personally Rita. I know we all use it a little differently. For myself, I have a wish list as I know it means I don't own it yet and wish to. It will still be on my TBR as I still want to read it. Whereas if I own a book it'll be on my TBR only (plus the other shelves I use) Does that make sense?

:)
I'm the same as Brenda - my TBR list are books I actually own - either physically or electronically. My wish list is books I want to read but don't own yet - many of these I get throusgh the library, or they are coming out later so I stick them on my wish list shelf to remind me :)
RitaSkeeter wrote: " I try to stick with digital or library books as much as I can for environmental reasons, but I do love it when a package from BD arrives! The bookmark I got last time was super awesome"I have a few BD bookmarks now and they are gorgeous.
Problems with my internet connection today - just when I got a decent number of notifications.
There's always something virtual conspiring against us isn't there Bette? :)That is where books come in handy - no notifications? Read a book! Internet dodgy? Read a book.
I love books :)

So my TBR consists of books I want to get from the library or buy.I don't use the wish list.
