I sent the two fans on the other page a heads-up that they are now unfortunately fans of a different Chris Flynn and how to fix it......"

I've been following these conversations about the two Chris Flynns. What you two had to juggle and sort out here was a really good result. I'm sure Chris Flynn himself would thank you if he knew.

Thanks for your kind words, Bette. Brenda did all the HARD work!

You're welcome! Simple stuff like that I can manage....

Thanks Bette and Marianne:) They're not usually quite that much of a challenge;)

OK at the moment I can't Michael! Another issue with the ongoing outage saga! So I'll try to remember to check tomorrow, but as it's Sunday in the US tomorrow I'll probably need to check it Tuesday. Whichever, I'll let you know when it's done:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No just when I went to add the book it said "only members with a verified email account can add books"... so I'm guessing it's just something else which has gone wrong..

I've not received ANY email notifications since yesterday afternoon!

Bette, I had a look at the photo and there isn't anywhere for me to resize it at all. If you can't do it yourself (re message in chat thread) let me know and I'll take it across to my computer and work on it for you....

Thanks, Brenda, I'll have another try today:) If no luck, I'll let you know.

All done Michael, and I've added it to the bookshelf and new release thread too:) Sorry for the delay!

[Marianne]

Currently reading Blue Blood by Sara Blaedel but there seem to be 2 Sara Blaedels, one with the ae joined, one without, and Blue Blood is an alternate title for the 2nd one in the Louise Rick/Camilla Lind series, Call Me Princess. I have no idea how to fix this. And anyway, it's impossible to search for the Blaedel books by author with the ae joined using a non-Scandanavian keyboard, I'd think......

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

For this one Marianne, I would suggest you take it to the Librarian group and have a super Librarian fix it:) Yes??

[Michael]

It looks like we will be having the same problem with Sara Blædel as we do with Jo Nesbø

[Marianne]

Michael, how did you even manage to get the link for the one with the joined ae (there's a word for this, is it dipthong, guessing now....)??

[Marianne]

Brenda wrote: "For this one Marianne, I would suggest you take it to the Librarian group and have a super Librarian fix it:) Yes??"

sounds like a good plan...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You did a copy and paste didn't you Michael? That's what I do:)

[Marianne]

I thought you were pretty super as a librarian.... ;~}
a link to that group?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sorry, I thought you'd already be a member Marianne! Thanks, but not THAT super;P

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

[Michael]

I did copy and paste but also when you are typing in a comment box like this one you can do a search for an author and it offers suggestions. So if I want to find Sara Blædel I only type Sara Bl and it finds the correct author

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh that's a good idea!

[Marianne]

OK I posted there, hope I put it in the right spot....

very clever!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Maybe keep an eye on it to see if/when it's fixed?

yup

Well, I did that and they fixed it. But now if you search for "Sara Blaedel" in the main search field at the top of the page, you get nothing. And with an ordinary keyboard, I still can't figure out how you can search for Sara Blædel in that field. Searching for Sara Bl only gets Sara York. I asked but they can't get a search for "Sara Blaedel" to default to Sara Blædel, GR doesn't work that way. So there's every chance naive librarians like me might even add the book, thinking they were doing the right thing, because on my copy of Blue Blood her name doesn't have the joined ae.
Oh well, I tried!

[Marianne]

which is odd, because if you search that field at the top of the page for Jo Nesbo and press return, you get a list of Jo Nesbø's books

I have no idea what the person meant when they keyed in all these strange symbols; would you mind fixing this for me please, Brenda?

Bette, I find this happens with reviews I put on BD which I compose on my PC in Word. The funny symbols are dashes or apostrophes or inverted commas which somehow don't translate when they are put into a website, really strange, I can't explain it. I just go back and edit them when I see it.... it probably won't be that hard to intuit what is meant to be there.

[Marianne]

Bette, I just lifted exactly the same description from Fishpond and put it in there. Look OK to you? The Lay of the Land

Thanks Marianne:) Bette it also happens when it's imported by "onix ****" (there are various) and "amazon kcw" and various others....

So much better, thanks Marianne. What gets me is that whoever adds the book must not check what their input looks like; irritating to neat/order freaks like me:)

Well, you know, when this happens to reviews I add to BD, I go back and edit them, but when I first add the review, everything looks perfect. Then, after hours/days, if I take another look, it has all these weird symbols where apostrophes and dashes and quotation marks should be. So perhaps the person who added it thought all was well and had no reason to check back....

[B the BookAddict]

Something else! Book title of: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

this is so wrong and yet no-one has thought to fix it??

You little whiz, you! thank you.

One day I will stop being lazy and request to be a Librarian. Trouble is, I can't think what to say: "I'm good? I'm smart? I've a great attention to details???

I didn't say any of that. I just said I wanted to make sure the details on listed books were right and fix them when they weren't.

See, I thought you were serious, because Brenda is all of those things and I'm sure you are too.....
