message 1: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) In April, this list was changed by a certain author (whose name shall go unmentioned but can be viewed in the librarian edits of the list) from "Great Indie Reads", "A list of any Indie Book." to the title and description of one of the author's books.

The problem is that when I try to change it back, I get the "An unexpected error occurred. We will investigate this problem as soon as possible — please check back soon!" message. I'm sure that if I wait long enough, it'll eventually be resolved and the edit will work, but I figured I'd mention it in case there's a better solution than simply waiting. (And hopefully something can be done to prevent the author from making further wildly inappropriate changes.)

Same for me. What jerkish behavior from this author!

Yzabel Ginsberg (yzabelginsberg) | 8 comments Same error message here.
Maybe a Super Librarian can change the list back, though.

vicki_girl | 2764 comments I wasn't able to fix it either. BTW, Supers will probably encounter the same errors as everyone else. It's just luck if someone can get it to work. ;)

I assumed so. Just figured it was worth a shot. :)


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 68 comments I tried and failed as well - maybe later it will work.

What a classless edit!

Yzabel Ginsberg (yzabelginsberg) | 8 comments Has anyone tried to edit any other list? Does this problem appear with them too?

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments It appears to be an issue with the title for some reason it does not want to be changed back to the exact title it was before.

I changed it for the time being to

"A number of Great Indie Reads"

I got that message once previously (and repeatedly) when I tried to merge duplicates on "Can't Wait Books of 2012."


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 68 comments I notice now that when trying to add tags to that Indie list, that they don't stick.
