Zen > Status Update

I'm about to get some sleep, but here are some fast things to try.

First, did you get the excel file by going to http://www.librarything.com/import.php and clicking on the GR link ("Have a Goodreads account? Go here.") and then following the directions? Or did you export from GR and then go to http://www.librarything.com/import.php and upload your file? If you did the latter, try the first approach instead -- it worked really well for me, whereas earlier I had tried approach #2 and got the same error message you got.

Also, LT reads files in the CSV formal, so make sure you don't have an Excel file saved in a different format.

If none of this info helps, I'll send other ideas tomorrow.

Thanks for your pre-sleep help Kris. You'll be glad to know that I managed it in the end (I've posted elsewhere about this, so you may read again!). It was all down to the csv format. I knew it had to be in that, but didn't realise that the excel doc wasn't saving that way. Cheers for replying :)

Zenmoon, can you please post your profile in LT?.. it is easier this way than looking for you over there.

Mine is:

Sure thing - as with Kris, I've sent you a request within LT.

Got it. Thank you.

I hate LT... Tried exporting my Library today but LT was picking up only 2 books.. will try again later on in the week.

I have to agree - its a poor second to GR, with a really clunky interface. One of the other things I found is that it's not very conducive to smooth navigation. Perhaps a larger population will help it improve.
