I was just trying to make sure that I haven't let anything slip through the cracks and noticed that things I'd offered in the relays didn't seem to be appearing in the database...

So many books, So little time! Posts: 6,498 Group: Members Member #41 Joined: December 23, 2005	I think (not certain) that chambejd was the one in charge of relays. Not sure if Marlene knows but we could check with her since she takes care of the other books going into the database.

Crazy Foreign Woman Posts: 9,084 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: December 23, 2005	OMG. Just checked and the last relay books were added in June?

Crazy Foreign Woman Posts: 9,084 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: December 23, 2005	Okay I am going to check to see if it is a lot of work or if I can do it. Maybe better if one person does all the adding books? Not sure if I can so will let you know. (I am always a bit scared of the relays because I think it involves a lot of pming ) Okay. I was right. There are relays where you can name a couple of books you want the other to read but most people do not state which book they decided to send so I've posted and told them they have to do that next time/. There were exceptions as always. Off to send pm's.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! hahaha That first smiley was worth the work. So what is wrong with Joy? I hope she is coming back? Do you girls want me to add the relay books until she does? It is not as bad as I thought although I will have to be a bit more strict, meaning they have to post urls and which book is picked in case of more choices. -) There are some people who already do this though but not everybody. By the way kudos for Joanna who spotted this!

I just pop in and try to help with the swaps and VBBs if I know that you need it. Not that it is needed very often. You do an amazing job with the database and to be honest we would be lost without you.

Crazy Foreign Woman Posts: 9,084 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: December 23, 2005	No so far you can only add your own stuff. That is sweet of you but so far I do manage. Still enjoying the adding. It makes me feel a bit worthwile having no job in every day life. Wendy helped me out when I was in hospital and when I feel like shit as she said I know I could go to her. and all you guys help out by adding the urls and such.

Exceedingly Obsessed Posts: 2,664 Group: Members Member #530 Joined: April 20, 2007	Still but you might have missed some, Marlene? I just received The Men who stare at Goats from perfect-circle for the International Reverse Wishlist Relay (August 6) and it's not on the database. Edited by VeganMedusa, Oct 28 2009, 08:58 PM.

Exceedingly Obsessed Posts: 2,664 Group: Members Member #530 Joined: April 20, 2007	Oh, okay - I figured it out after another book from the same relay wasn't on the database. That relay hasn't been updated yet.

Crazy Foreign Woman Posts: 9,084 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: December 23, 2005	Thanks I will check it out. It was so much work I am sure I could have missed something. Kudos for chambejd for doing this for so long. It is my least favorite job cause you ahve to check every day. OMG so many books. I am done with 9 of august and then zoho crashed on me eta: Okay I did add all the books and was able to offer a book so this relay is back going. If anyone thinks I forgot a relay please let me know like veggy did! Thanks a lot Vegan. Edited by Marlene, Nov 5 2009, 11:18 AM.
