Retro Reads discussion

As most of you know, this is the most bug ridden site on the planet!

But I thought I had better post about this one, because I can just see this leading to people feeling hurt.

Some members of other Goodreads groups find when they post a new thread that the thread just disappears! When it first happened to me I thought I had just forgotten to hit post.

So far I have only heard of this happening to Group Moderators (but it happened to me in a group where I'm not a moderator!)

So I just want to assure everyone that we would never delete your posts without telling you. The only exception is spammers - & this group has been very lucky - we have had had very little problem with spam!

Thanks for the info and the reassurances.
Sadly, it does not surprise me to hear that it happens.
'Buggy' seems such an inadequate term to use in describing this site's problems. If the bugs ever quit holding hands the site would collapse!

Hahahaha!

I've been told that this site is built with relatively old technology & the new graduates they have now are trained in new technology.

This problem with disappearing posts could be them trying to fix something & breaking something else.

this is the most bug ridden site on the planet!

For years now, I have been wishing for a better place to have these groups and conversations but on the other hand, it's free so maybe I should just be grateful for that?

thank you for letting use know, Carol. I'm pretty pleased I remembered to click on "discussions" so I found this thread!

Thanks, Carol, I’ve not been on the site a lot recently, just posting reading progress, but good to know.

lol, Barb!

I agree, Jackie, I’m grateful it’s free - but it is a shame “free” on the interwebs generally means buggy…
