re: Emails have changed I had the same problem with my Comcast account. I got a reminder today of a mooch. Looking in the Bookmooch website, I see that the request was made May 6, but I never got an email about the mooch. Gary 10 years ago

re: Wishlist & Inventory redone two more comments: spending a little more time with the new pages... I see you have made it even harder to access the Save for Later list. Please make it easier! I thought it was (relatively) inconvenient to need two clicks from Home Page to Save for Later; now it take three! I use Save for Later a lot more than the Wish List; I don't enjoy having it buried. I will also cast my vote with the "No Related Editions" crowd -- I love the feature, but not as a default. When my Saved-for-Later book has 34 copies available, I don't need to see that there are also 4 other editions (or 10, or 40) that also have copious copies available. Maybe if it defaulted to related editions when the main edition had zero copies available, or even better, if users could just choose how to display each list. But overall a nice format and thanks for the work! Gary 13 years ago

re: Wishlist & Inventory redone regarding this issue (which really should only matter for the Save For Later list, since you should be mooching anything on a wish list with a 1 or more on it): "I see that if there are no moochable copies of a book, the 0 is in a lighter font. If one is available, the 1 is bolded. I appreciate that, but I wonder if the 1 (or 2, or whatever) could be even more salient. Could it be red, or in a larger font, or something? I have a long wishlist and an even longer Save for Later list. I like to log in briefly, scan the lists to see if anything new has popped up, and if not, log back out You can click the "Count" column header, and your wishlist page will automatically sort by the number of moochable copies of books available. In other words, the books you can mooch will be at the top." I WISH...rather than sort by number of moochable copies, it might be more useful to have a binary search -- one group for books for which there is at least 1 moochable copy, and one group for books with none.

re: Wishlist, Inventory & pending pages to be improved Since you asked... I think the pending page is fine...I would not want a separate page. I do agree that having all the details is not necessary. All I care about on the pending page is that my first click into the "pending" part of the web site shows me books that I have to send an the name and address to which I have to send them, and mooch requests that I have to respond to. IMO those two items should be on the first pending page. I wish the save for later page was easier to access. I spend a lot more time on there than I do on my wish list page -- I only move things to the wish list page after they've been on my save for later for a while, so I rarely want to access my wish list page without first going to my save for later page. But as it is now I always have to go to the wish list first. I wish the mooch history pages were sortable by moocher/giver and also by author or title. When I want to remooch a book, I like to find the original mooch transaction and then just click "give" to list it. It's hard to do right now. I wish my wish list page did not show books available when they are only available from other countries. I wish the wish list page did not show books available (for months at a time...) and then give me this message when I click to mooch it: "Sorry, this book is no longer available because another member got to it before you did. Or, if in another country it may not be available due to the owner's inability to afford international postage. If in your own country, it has most likely been reserved by an international member who got to the book first and has placed a hold on it awaiting approval to mooch it from the owner." I wish all web sites asked their users for comments and actually listened to them the way John does! Gary 13 years ago
