Hi, makes perfect sense to me.

This time, I didn't receive my announcement regarding the pending expiration, but happened to remember that it was today. Sure enough, when I checked, there was my "Renew" link. Very odd. I believe that Tim's suggestion (and others have made it as well), to keep the "Renew" link permanent, would save a lot of frustration.

BUT THE RENEW OPTION ISN'T THERE. Maybe, until the warnings and renew options can be put in sync, we can, at least temporarily, get rid of a time limit for working on books. I'm sure all of us proofers will happily check in our books when we're finished proofing them, and being reminded how long we've been working on them is not necessary. Some books are tomes and take a long to proof. The fact that a book is out being proofed is on a list of Books in Progress. If anyone is particularly interested in a particular book he/she can ask about it, i.e., ask the proofer to release it, or ask how it's coming along (I've been asked that by scanners of books I've proofed, or ask if we've forgotten about the book. Or Carrie or Madeleine can ask if we've forgotten about the book or are still working on it. That would be much less intrusive and annoyng than getting reminders that we have exceeded out 14 days especially when we can't renew them and have to take time away from working on them to keep checking the books we have out Cindy Join us in celebrating our 10 <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-ann iversary-celebration/> th Anniversary! <http://blog.bookshare.org/2012/03/11/join-bookshares-worldwide-10th-ann iversary-celebration/> TinyURL.com/752cyrs _____ From: Bookshare Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: popularplace@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 2:22 PM Subject: Your book is about to expire.
