it would be very helpful to be able to see all available bookplates again so we can re-order ones we've seen in the past.
Thanks.
Oh yes. This is top on my wish list too. Would be great if you could do somethig about it.
I second that!

it doesn't work with a credit card right now.
In addition to the suggestions made by other people, ...
There should be a way to check and tidy up more regularly the Cities & Crossing Zones listings. There should be a way to prevent people to create new zones when it's not necessary and advice them to create one that makes sense (a zone named "on the bench" doesn't make much sense if you ask me!). Maybe a related message before creating a release zone? But there should definately be a team monitoring the zones frequently too.
That's all I can think of right now...

Thank you !
Even if you have a QR code on the label. Please still include a written BCID number.

This wouldn't work for me. I wouldn't use those bookplates. I never use a label that will cover either the title or author on the front cover. Thus I have many sizes of front cover labels of different types and sizes, from those sold in the store to those I print myself, and use the one that works with a particular cover design. That style of bookplate also won't work on some smaller books I have.
And I'd HATE to see our beloved Ballycumber redesigned. : (
Personally I find the Ballycumber very childish and clumsy and would love an updated, more modern version of it.
I like both versions. But I would hate to throw out all the existing stock in the Supply Store, and it would be a lot of work to update all the products.

One typo jumped out at me. But this is just a proposal, and I agree with a lot of it.http://lucasn.com/bookcrossing.htmlOh, dear god, please tell me that's not going to happen. If there's anything I cannot stand in a website, it's monster huge graphics that make it hard to find information. There are so many sites that I used to use frequently that it is impossible for me to use any more.
I note, too, that where there *is* text, it's very poorly written. (Perhaps English is not the writer's first language?)

The site needs an update or it will die.
It is increasingly common for websites to use such large graphics (and don't get me started on infinite scrolling!) that it is difficult to find actual information.

I think it's supposed to make them more mobile-friendly, in a way that's actively unfriendly to users on non-mobile devices. I hope and trust that we will not be going in that direction.
I don't disagree with that. But the kind of thing I see on that page is exactly the kind of thing that has driven me off other sites. An example: the Lyric Opera changed their site last year. It now has very heavy graphics, to the extent that I cannot see all my upcoming performances in one place. It's resulted in a situation where rather than exchange tickets on the site, which used to be quick and easy, I now call the box office instead.

It's not just the typo. It's the syntax, the word choices, the phrasing. All of it says to me, "not a native English speaker". It's the kind of thing that, if I get in an email, I assume is spam.
It's someone in Brazil (Lucas Neumann), and possibly doing it on his own initiative. The text is ungrammatical right from the start - read that first sentence. And what is freemium, is that a word?a business model, especially on the Internet, whereby basic services are provided free of charge while more advanced features must be paid for.
Would like to be able to see all my current/recent activity, not just the last 3 as per the profile page. Perhaps also all recent activity within a nominated distance. The specified zones function is too hit and miss.
.
I've had wings membership a couple of times but the benefits have never seemed worth the price. Lifetime membership like LibraryThing offers, rather than a recurring payment, might be a better option. In any case a recent activity list should be a basic function, not a premium one. A map showing the location of releases and catches, like Postcrossing has, and chart with monthly activity would also be useful.

One of those benefits is to have BC at all. Isn't that worth to pay a bit?
When registering a book, I would gladly have a choice in which language this book is written. So you can search for the language of the book.
Many books have an English title but have appeared in different languages.
It looks bigger and clearer all of a sudden.
But..I notice that some of the Unicode characters no longer work with the new font.
In particular, the characters with a kahakō (macron over the vowel) no longer appear properly on my screen. I don't actually speak/write Hawaiian, but occasionally I have a word or title that includes those markings and it would be nice to be able to use them here. That's a very minor issue, though - I'm sure the occasional Hawaiian diacritical mark is a *microscopic* fraction of the overall usage of the site.
But..I'm curious: anyone know if other languages are running into issues with the new font?
the links on my home page have stopped working. :(
It used to work on all browsers for me.
the links on my home page have stopped working. :(
While I do use HTML for colorizing and other information, I never used HTML on the BC links I added.
OH...and if I forget to Logout when I am finished and shut the computer off, once I turn it back on the next time I use it, all I have to do is bring a browser page up, click on my Bookcrossing favorite tab, and voilà...I'm back on Bookcrossing without even logging in
So they were not converted back now, to make them stop working; it's more like they were converted into working links before and now they are not.
Reno found out what made them work before, and he's working on putting a similar mechanism in place, so this should come back soon, no worries.
....but please, please, please, we need those book covers back as a priority! Speaking for myself, I won't be registering any more books until they reappear. Thanks.
At least the workaround of saving the bookcover when it appears to my computer, then looping back around to upload the image is working. Annoying...but working.

Hadn't seen anything about this workaround mentioned before, although I'm certain it's in here somewhere. ; )
it was mentioned here http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/534328THANK YOU, eligi!!! : ) With all of the BC Staff and Reno working diligently nonstop day and night, it will be repaired before we know it, and then we will be able to update our covers. ; )
and I think its the best method for now to deal with the unsolved problem ;-)
a hard time even finding the newest comments.

That's easily fixed. As mentioned by DubaiReader, you can change the way you view forum posts by changing to Flat - Latest First under Options.
https://flic.kr/---/RxKXAG
That way, all the posts in the thread are sorted in the order they are posted, with the newest at the top.
That's how I view all the Forum threads and it makes it very easy to see what new comments have been made.
Oh yes, the perils of releasing in a country you're not familiar with! I tend to release a lot of books when I'm travelling (lately that's been the only time I've really released books), and it's always such a struggle to figure out what state/province/region/whatever you're in, and then the local spelling of the precise location
from displaying these two confusing messages both at the same time, when a book is successfully registered, following a second database search if it wasn't found the first time. Very confusing to a newbie.
"Note: Book successfully registered.
Error: Sorry, there was a problem processing your request. Please recheck your input and try again."
is fixed, I hope this will be considered as well
As far as I'm concerned, it won't be considered... Just done.
But I'm wondering now: what do you mean when you say 'Supply Store accessibility of bookplates'?

I think solittletime is referring to access to older bookplates - pagination, being able to click on a label image on a book's page and order it, etc.

I'd also like to be able to buy the earlier artist labels, if that's do-able. I suppose that will depend in part on what sort of arrangement BC has with the various artists.
http://www.bookcrossing.com/---/8870645
I realize this might not be do-able with the current store setup, or even something the powers that be want, but as a customer, I really liked the "Order multiple singles to receive quantity discounts" option - that way I could get a good variety at a reasonable price. (Of course, this works best if we have pagination so we can see the wide variety of created bookplates.)

But we'll see what can be done.

Then I'm confused. She said 'as well' so I thought there must be two separate issues. This one will be fixed for sure.
