Another busy day. Here's what's new:
• A major bug that kept most authors from being able to add more books to their profile has been fixed.
• A bug that kept some users from being able to access the Comments form has been fixed.
• A bug that prevented authors from including books with the letter "X" in their ISBNs has been fixed.
• The front-page Library has now been expanded with more categories. Each time you load the front page, you'll get a different selection of categories. Click one to see all the authors on the site who've written books in that category.
• There are some aesthetic improvements to the Profile page. When logged in, click the Profile link in the upper-right corner of the window to get to your Profile page.
• When signing up, you can now designate yourself the representative of a book club or speaker series. If you sign up on behalf a group, you get to specify additional facts about your group, such as whether it compensates authors for speaking.
• If you're an author, you can search for book clubs in places you're going. On the author editing page, type in the zip code of a place you're going, and click Go. You'll arrive at a page of book clubs in that area that have signed up on BookTour.
• The request-an-author button now links to a form where you can submit additional comments to the author you're contacting. When the author receives the request email, he or she will also have the opportunity to reply to you directly by email.
i've been trying to sign up as a reader, but i fill out the form and it just bounces me back to the main page. i tried logging in with the info, but that says invalid, and i checked my email for a sign-up confirmation but didn't get one. am i doing something wrong?
