Did anything eventuate with the Ellison Hawker inventory files? Would love to see them on here.

Hello Felius.
I am able to pull up library thing on my Blackberry (Verizon) but when I enter my name and password, the message that appears is that the information is incorrect. Not so. Is there anything else I need to do in order to get my library list to appear so I won't be in the position of having purchased a second or third copy of a book, as I've done in the past?

Re books we share: Is it you or your wife who is the Jane Austen fan? And why son't you own copies of Mansfield Park and Northanger Abby?

I haven't been on the site for a while and I thank you for all you've done to it. I probably won't use all the bells & whistles, but it's much improved and I'm delighted. Thanks.

Joh, I've stumbled into the Library Thing, looking for someone with some answers on book cataloging software.
My question: I have a library of approximately 3-4,000 books that I want to catalog based on the dewey decimal or Library of Congress or other such respected cataloging system. The software I've Googled is for much larger libraries which need to be able to check books in and out and a whole lot more than what I need. I'm looking for fairly basic library sofware for a home library that will allow me to inventory and organize my books in keeping with standards utilized for much bigger libraries. Do you or any of your friends or acqaintances know the names of software packages or their manufactures that do this

I am trying to enter a book (Weird Michigan) and 2 of the covers that are represented on the page are for the book (Weird Wisconsin). The one it automatically applies is for Weird Wisconsin AND, for some reason, it won't let me change the cover to the Weird Michigan option. (ISBN 1402739079)

I'm really enjoying the "All Covers" page -- I made some color spectrum-based mosaics that I thought you might want to post on the page (as it says to contact you if we do anything with our covers). I would never take the time to organize my books by color on the shelf, but with software and your covers, it was pretty quick and yields some nice results.

Help! My friend picnicgal and I (prop2gether) are having crossed lines. We login as ourselves, get our own libraries, but are shown as logged in as the other party including the profile page!

Help!

escrito por Prop2gether, à/s 2:29 pm (EST) , Jun 20, 2008

I have had some problems today with LibraryThing.com. My friend (prop2gether) and I (picnicgal) both have computers on the same network at our job. Today, when I logged into LibraryThing.com, I was able to access my library, but when I clicked on the tab to add books, I was then logged in as prop2gether! When I clicked on the profile tab I was prop2gether, until I clicked again, and then I was myself (picnicgal). My friend (prop2gether) is having the same issue. She is logged in as herself, yet when she views her library it is actually my library and shows her being logged in as me (picnicgal). I finally logged myself out, closed my browser, deleted my cookies, files and history, and then started from scratch. So far, so good -- I am logged on as me, with my library, profile, add books, etc. However, now my friend (prop2gether) is having the same problems! Can you please let me know what is going on. It is terribly confusing and frustrating to realize that I may have been adding/deleting books to/from my friend's library and vice versa. Plus the login name changing based on whatever tab I press is really weird. I am a big fan of LibraryThing.com and enjoy having a place to catalog all the books I've read. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Hi. I'm new to LT. Something is bugging me and I was wondering if you could enlighten me. I have to date been unable to find my username listed on anyone's member library list. I have found several examples where I share let's say 30 books with an individual with a relatively small library, as mine is (167). When I go to that person's profile page and click on raw (vs. weighted), it lists books high to low in absolute numbers, correct? I have seen several instances where I think I should be able to see my username listed because let's say the lowest number of books in common is 18 (for example) and I have 30 in common. I'll see other usernames with 30 books in common but never mine. I look forward to hearing your analysis! Thank you so much!

Dear John:

It is quite refreshing to see that you are still joking around in good mood.

Nevertheless and though we have learned that TPTB do not aprreciate Thingamabrarians--LT members, that is--reporting on (serious) trouble, still, you may want and have a look at e.g. Bug collectors : can't add books (/talktopic.php?topic=29975).

Frankly speaking, I think that an increasing number of caring Thingamabrarians are getting the message anyway.

Sincerely yours,

boekerij.

Hi Felius,

Sorry, haven't been on for quite some time now, just saw your comment on I am Legend. I saw the movie and I really enjoyed it, even though it was quite different from the book. I'm not sure about the ending though... I guess I just liked the movie because it was a good movie, not really as an adaptation of the book. The best thing about the book, imo, is the sense of desperate loneliness throughout the book and that wasn't captured in the movie.

I didn't even know there were previous adaptations! Shame on me... ^^

Anyway, tnx for your comment! I love random acts of comment :)

Hi felius - YOU DON'T NEED TO READ MY LENGTHY COMMENT BELOW! I e-mailed Tim last night, and he's posted in Talk that he's working on the problem now - so nothing for you to pass on!

I hope you've had a good holiday week...so far, anyway! I am back at work today - a little slow, but SO MUCH BETTER than I was. :-)

escrito por HeathMochaFrost, à/s 1:40 pm (EST) , Dec 27, 2007

Hi Felius - I saw that you'd posted in the Bug Collectors group about 12 hours back, and since I have no idea when Tim will be on, I just wanted to bring your attention to a rather annoying bug. When you select "edit book" and go to the wonderful spiffy new edit page for that book, the primary author's name is listed as "first last" even if it was previously entered "last, first." The main reason this is a PITA is that if you make any other edit and then click "save," it saves your author name as "first last" - and that throws off the author sort in the catalog. I had previously (weeks or months ago) entered Madame Bovary, and when I went in to edit the info a couple nights ago, I didn't do anything to the name. Then when I sorted afterward (and my author display in my catalog is "last, first," and sorted by author like 90% of the time), there he was in the "G" names, Gustave Flaubert.

The reason I wanted to point this out is that there *is* a thread in Bug Collectors, but the original posted thought it was a problem only for new items coming in through LoC, when really it's a larger problem. The thread is:
http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...
and the real heart of the matter begins around message # 6. I should add that I was using IE 7 on Vista at the time, but I think other browsers/OSs are mentioned by others in that thread, so I don't think it's a browser issue.

I saved the first part of this message, then went back to test. It is happening in Firefox (latest version, I think 2.0.0.11) with XP as well. And, I found that the message "Sorting not working" in Bug Collectors is referring to the same thing, AND that the topic "'Other author' field causing an editing bug" MIGHT be related: Chris and his one good arm made a fix related to that post, and a few hours later is when the first post appeared about this issue, apparently incorrectly seeing it as an LoC problem. The original poster's problem might have begun before Chris did his work on the "Other Author" issue, but given the timing, I thought it was a good idea to pass that info along.

Sorry so long. I was sick in bed all day yesterday, am going to try some more fluids & crackers before going BACK to bed - but I must also have been suffering LT withdrawal. ;-) Thanks for any help you can give, and/or for passing on the specifics to Tim when he's available.

I just got my SantaThing last night, so I went and read your comment on the site. Excellent choice! It was only a year or so ago that I happened to acquire Blish's The Devil's Day, as having grown up reading his Trek novelizations, I was curious about his original fiction. I liked Devil's Day all right, so I decided to seek out the other two books in the "After Such Knowledge" sequence. So basically, you got exactly the book I meant when I put "James Blish" down on the list of authors!

I didn't know much about the book, but having read the back cover, I'm sure I'll enjoy it-- not only did I grow up Catholic, I went to a Jesuit high school, so I've always held a certain amount of affection for the Order.

So, all in all-- I was quite pleased to get what I got! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
