Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Anyone know what this is about? The limit seems to be somewhere around 10, which is indeed very limiting when working on larger projects!

It will be something to do with this announcement;

& is probably a good idea to have combining introduced gradually.

Aha. Thanks, we'll see how things are after Jan 8 then :)

;)

Not good

Still incredibly limiting, which makes life miserable for librarians like me who work on comic books, when each issue these days have 10 ASINs for variant covers, please fix this.

I'm so irritated by this... and there is no info from GR when it will back to normal. Maybe it won't :-/

Hard to limit a group of ready and willing volunteers....

Has anyone figured out how long the wait is before the combining is active again?

I read one thread where a moderator said it resets after an hour. That was about 4 years old though.

I think (though memory is fuzzy) last time it took a week or so before we could combine repeatedly again. Hopefully it'll be back to normal in the next few days.

- Here is the thread from last year: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

- From experience: after hitting the limit, usually it will be working again after an hour, sometimes it's quicker than that.

- The announcement is still pinned as the first announcement: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I hit the limit yesterday (11th January my time, so probably the 10th in the USA), frustrating, but it was back after an hour.

It's really fustrating now that the bots added tons of clutter and duplicates that can't be combined in bulk.

I hope that its gonna come back to normal (no limits) in max. few days. Waiting an hour doesn't solve the problem. GR should make a second announcement about this "limit" thing.

Yes indeed....

Well, we still got this limit and no info from GR about it....

very frustrating... It makes me think that I should be reading instead of getting annoyed with this.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorting classic books now and this limit is really annoying.. only 10 books per hour

LOL

This is taking longer than (most) other years, so it would be nice if we could get an update.
Jaclyn, do you know anything about what is going on here?

There's no more limit on combining books :)

Huzzah!!
