I realized that my last post came across kind of snotty, and I so apologize for that. NOT intended at all.

I just clicked on the Remind button for a domestic mooch and this was the message that came up:

“After six weeks from today, a “received” button will appear in your “pending” list for this transaction. You will then be able to mark this book as received by them and remove it from your “pending list. This is useful if they are not answering their email.”

Now, 6 weeks has been my experience on how long it takes for the “received” button to show up after sending a reminder. So is it going to stay at 6 weeks, or are you changing that to 4 weeks, as indicated by the above statement:”You are right, force receive is permitted after 4 weeks inside the same country,”? I’M SO CONFUSED. ::smiles::

Oh, wow, thank you for fixing the rejection notice thing. It was driving me nuts to have to log in and search around just to find those “the dog ate my book” excuses!

I just sent a reminder to someone in India (I’m in Australia) and the message said the Received button would appear in SIX weeks, so is that message wrong? When will that button really appear?

Hi John
I had to do a force received for the first time recently, and noticed that forcing increased my mooch ratio. It looks like while the book was in ’sent’ it was still included in the calculation, but once I forced the receive, it was not. It’s not such a big deal to lose credit for sending 1 book, but it seems unclear why you’d ever force receive if you lose credit.
thanks for all your work- bookmooch is awesome,
Christina

Excellent changes, John.

But how about fixing this phrase also:

“Requests of mine that been rejected”
to
“Requests of mine that HAVE been rejected”?
Or “WERE rejected”?

I noticed it a long time ago on our History page but only remembered to tell you about this now.

Thanks for all that you do.

Thank you soo much for changing the country codes to real names – I was constantly having people mistake (IL) for Illinois and not Israel!! Very very good change.
