Suggestion for bookshelves

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.

Suggestion for bookshelves

Post by Thea Frederick »

This is just an idea but I was thinking it might be nice if we can delete books from our shelves ourselves rather than have to report an error.
I don't know if that is a good idea or not, but it just sounded nice to me:-)

Only mods can do that to prevent misuse of the shelves, so you will have to report it.

You do have the option to remove books from your shelves. :tiphat:

Wait, I’m confused. Only moderators can remove the book from your shelves to prevent disabuse of the shelves. What would disabuse look like?
But if only mods can do it, how can I remove books from my shelf?

No. You can remove the books from your shelf, but you can't delete them.

To remove a book, just choose the last option: Remove.

If it isn't a real book and you want to delete it completely, you need to report it.

Ooooh, okay, that makes sense. Thank you. I didn't realize there was a distinction between removing a book from your shelf and deleting it.

But where do I report a book that is not real? I'm not sure where to find that.

Via the shelves, on the book page. The shelf FAQ explain about that.
