Many times, for about 30minutes, too. Was going to tell you about my experience on PB Admin., but was so tired, i left off, shrugged sheepishly and Moved Away From The Technology. Sorry. please forgive.
Here's what happened: i had 5 books posted in double double quotes. Before confirming my post, i checked the book referrals below, and found that Mind's I and Einststein's Space were incorrectly bulleted and Fluid Concepts was bulleted at 'not found' (or something to that effect). The other two, Godel and Cosmic Serpent were correct. So i clicked on 'show more books' for Mind's I and Einstein's, and left Godel and Cosmic as is.
Then 'submit your post' again.
WHOA, talk about shuffling cards!
It came up now, that Fluid Concepts WAS there, and correctly referred, but Godel was 'not found', and Einstien's never gave me the next page of 'more books', Mind's I was still incorrectly linked on the same page as last time, Cosmic Serpent was now 'not found'....Each time i tried, a different combination of incorrect info was offered to be confirmed. It seemed to rotate randomly, oblivious to my correct bullet clicks. I tried 'submit links', then when that didn't work, 'submit post' again...
The last one that came up, i think, was when each one of the books came up 'no link found' EXCEPT Fluid Concepts - the exact opposite combination of my first attempt. (!) LOL
So i quit trying then.
I'd checked and rechecked the directions and my own correct clicks, experimented with possible alt methods, then shrugged sheepishly and figured it was Bedtime For Bozo.
('Prolly something simple i was missing, OR ~Sometimes the Dragon Wins~).I look forward to enlightenment and your assistance, Dr.Bob~ (yes, i know, redirect to PB Admin. board) ~i'll look for your beacon there.
