Problem with 'Currently Reading' shelf

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Problem with 'Currently Reading' shelf

Post by Vickie Noel »

Hi,
So I noticed a fluctuation with my 'currently reading' shelf. Whenever I make posts, I see the title of a different book in my shelf as 'currently reading' other than the one I actually listed as No 1. I bumped that one to top only for it to change again. Later on, it regulated itself which is why I didn't mention it earlier. Now, I observed it's started again. But when I check my bookshelves, it's ordered properly. What gives? :?

Hi,

I use to have the same problem. I believe even though we switch the order around, the system still can't recognize which book you're reading more than the other since they are all listed as "Currently Reading."

If it starts getting troublesome, I would just list one book in the "Currently Reading" section. You can always add the others after you finished reading your current book.

I'll tag @Gravy and @gali in case they have better solutions for your problem.

Have you tried listing the others as #2 and #3?

This tends to happen to me as well.
I've never found a way to completely stop it, but it's always temporarily stopped it if I clear all the other books position on that shelf.

When I have one that I've bumped, then bump a new one, the first then says #2 (or #3, #4, ect.). I've even had it number a book higher than I have books on that shelf.
I think the system just get mixed up. :confusion-shrug: :eusa-think:

So far, it's stable now. I just can't resist having more than one book on my 'currently reading' shelf. At least, I know what to do if the drama starts all over. Thanks for the tip! ?
