Litsypocalypse

Robin | Dave Itzkoff

Now that the #Litsypocalypse is over, I can relax a little... After 15 hours, I ditched The Great Bridge. It was full of so much information, I was zoning out. I decided to go for this, even though I'm sure I won't be able to keep it together. ☹

Ironing on this rainy day, happy to have #Litsy back after the #Litsypocalypse and my DTs weren't so bad!!! This is pretty decent but SUPER British so the slang is throwing me slightly. Gotta get the hang of it all! 😂😂

Drebae29 Soooo good 7y

IamIamIam @Drebae29 Ooh, I'm excited!!! 7y

JHSiess I thought it was just ok. Held my interest. 7y

IamIamIam @JHSiess I find that with most mysteries, they're just kind of okay for me. I consider these my fluff like other people read chick lit! Lol 7y

JHSiess I live a good mystery but it has to be well-plotted. I found parts of this one silly & implausible. But it entertained me. 🤗 7y

JHSiess LOVE a good mystery. @Litsy needs a comment editing function. 🤪 7y

IamIamIam @JHSiess HAHAHA, I second the editing!!! 😂😂😂 7y

Making Amends: Atonement in Morality, Law, and Politics | Linda Radzik

I feel guilty about an unkind, uninformed and snarky comment and I owe @kgriffith an apology.
While the #Litsypocalypse is happening, she has provided a thread for #LibraryThing users in place of going raving mad without Litsy. It's quite kind of her to provide for the whole community and here's the link to that thread: https://www.librarything.com/topic/289278

I'm sorry that I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon! 😚 Thank you, @kgriffith!!!

kgriffith You are too funny 🤣 Thank you for the lovely burst of spring color, I‘ll take them all day! 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith Lol, it's the least I can do. We went to the botanic gardens in Naples a few weeks ago & they had a gorgeous orchid garden! This beats New York drizzle any day! 7y

Coming Darkness | Susan-Alia Terry

Hey fellow #Littens! Looks like our lifeline will be going offline on Tuesday at 3am eastern for about 8 hours. More info available on the @Litsy profile.
Spread the word and good luck with withdrawals!!! 😭😭😭

ReadingSusan Ha ha love the tagged book 🤣 7y

IamIamIam @ReadingSusan 😉😉😉 7y

melyndarae At least I'll be asleep during most of those hours. Haha. 7y

IamIamIam @melyndarae YES, that's definitely a bonus!!! 7y

kgriffith I think we should have a hashtag for other social media for easy collection of posts to put up once we‘re back! #LaterLitsy maybe? 🤔 7y

kgriffith @melyndarae That, as well as our and our sysadmin‘s locations, were definitely factors in deciding the downtime. 😊 7y

melyndarae @kgriffith Oh nice lol. I wasn't sure where the admins were. 7y

Chelleo We need to come up with a hashtag befitting the impending withdrawal 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith I like that idea!!! 7y

IamIamIam @Chelleo #Litsypocalypse? 🤣 7y

Chelleo @IamIamIam Pretty freakin perfect! 🤣😂🤪 7y

IamIamIam @Chelleo 😂😂😂😂 7y

kgriffith @IamIamIam I created that LibraryThing thread as a response to my own recognition that I‘ll want a Litsy stand-in during downtime 😋 It‘s not the same, but it‘s better than nothing? 🤣 https://www.librarything.com/topic/289278 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith oh oh oh oh oh, I'm so so so sorry!!!!!! I thought that was from Library Thing, not you personally!!!!!! I'm sorry, that makes me look like a complete jerk. 😧😔😭 7y

kgriffith @IamIamIam ha, it‘s okay! We haven‘t determined a way to differentiate between “LibraryThing/Litsy admin Kirsten” and “LT-er/Litten Kirsten, so it‘s not like you would know 😊 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith I blasted your link too and I also sent you virtual flowers! 🤗 7y

kgriffith @IamIamIam (though on LibraryThing you‘ll see the little “L” icon next to our names when we‘re being “official” — I disable it when I‘m posting just as me, like on my reading tracking thread: http://www.librarything.com/topic/282143 ) 7y

kgriffith @IamIamIam awwww you‘re the sweetest 😍 Let me tell you, I appreciate the love today! 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith lol, maybe I need to get hip & happening on LibraryThing now too!!!! 🤣 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith HAHAHA, I'm like a Sour Patch Kid... I'm a grumpy old bastard but usually I feel badly and then I'm back to normal! 7y

kgriffith @IamIamIam Come over to the cataloging side, we have cheese. 😏 7y

IamIamIam @kgriffith 😂😂😂😂😂 Ooooh, cheese!!!! 🧀 7y

Hey Everyone! We want to give you a heads up about a scheduled downtime while we move Litsy to LibraryThing servers.

Litsy will be down starting at 3am Eastern (7:00 GMT) on Tuesday, April 3, for approximately 8 hours.

Can you help spread the word so it doesn't come as a surprise to any of our fellow Littens?

kgriffith Let‘s get the word out, y‘all! @MrBook @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jess7 @Chelleo @Bklover 7y

Crazeedi Is this going to change litsy? 7y

kgriffith @Crazeedi Nope, just shifting where it lives behind the scenes. No code changes, no features added/removed, etc. Just picking it up from one place and setting it down in another, but it‘s a big job so it takes some time :) 7y

Jess7 Yes, I‘ll repost this and tag a few more for you! 7y

Crazeedi Thank You! I'm just trying to learn how to use litsy, so I wasn't sure 7y

GarthRanzz Already reposted! We will get the word out! 7y

kgriffith Thanks @Jess7 and @GarthRanzz 🤓 Please do tag other Littens either here or in your reposts; we don‘t want anyone to be blindsided and not know where to find out what‘s up. 7y

Chelleo Posted! 7y

LeahBergen We‘ll spread the word. 👍🏻 7y

MsLeah8417 😳😳😳 7y

CouronneDhiver Yikes! I‘ll be suffering withdrawal symptoms. 🤪 7y

Bklover @kgriffith I‘ll be happy to repost! Also tag @Cinfhen @Mommamanzi @emilyhaldi @dariazeoli @AmyG @Kaye @TricksyTails @jess7 @maich @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck @MrBook @BookBabe @Kaylamburson @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 @LibrarianRyan @maximoffs 7y

LibrarianRyan @Bklover I was pushing send. Had to do something a little different. 😁 7y

kgriffith Check out my latest, I‘ve created a temporary home, the “downtime lounge” if you will ;) https://www.librarything.com/topic/289278 7y

Bklover @MinDea @cobwebmoth 7y

Bklover @tpixie @MicheleinPhilly @DebinHawaii 7y

MinDea Thanks @Bklover !!! 7y

Litsy @Crazeedi well, it allows change. The first change will be in better book data. 7y

MrBook Thank you for the tag, @Bklover ! 🤗🤗🤗 7y

MrBook And thank you too, @kgriffith 😁!! 7y

jfalkens I thought Litsy wasn't switching to featured posts and having posts in random order? Only sorted newest to oldest. 7y

kgriffith @jfalkens Not all @Litsy posts will be featured; we want to be very discerning and intentional about use of that tool. We thought folks would want to know about the downtime ahead of time, so we considered it a worthwhile use of the feature. No other ordering of posts is affected. 7y

TricksyTails @Bklover Thank you for the tag! I‘ll be sure to share! 🤗 7y

Sace @kgriffith geez. I just noticed the "featured" on this post. I didn't even know that was possible. (Android Littens have fewer options it seems.) 7y

Andrew65 Thanks for the tag @Bklover 👍, and will repost. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Bklover @MrBook for letting me know ...I‘ll repost after the weekend as it gets closer!!! 7y

tpixie Thx! I‘ll repost! 7y

AyaOfSiwa Good to know 7y

dariazeoli Thanks for the tag, @Bklover - will post this weekend! 7y

Fedaykin Why won‘t you respond to my email asking, how do I delete my account? 7y

kgriffith @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I‘ve found that to be true in my testing android vs iOS. For example, iOS separates out “conversations” from “notifications.” In this case, there‘s a line that reads “featured” below the image associated with the post. 7y

kgriffith @Fedaykin did you write to litsy@LibraryThing.com ? My apologies if so and we haven‘t gotten back to you. If not, please email that address and I‘ll let the team know to keep an eye out for your email. 7y

Fedaykin Your web site(litsy.com/help) says “...or general inquiries, please email us at contact AT litsy.com” contact@litsy.com is what I used, thanks for the update. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @kgriffith Just had a chance to post about it. Thanks for the tag and heads up! 7y

jfalkens @kgriffith that's good 😊 7y

Sace @kgriffith I've seen that on my iPad. I like the separation. I think iOS allows for editing of comments too. Not so with Android. I can only edit posts. (I'm an odd duck with an iPad and android phone.) 7y

kgriffith @RestlessFickleBookHoarder yep, that‘s also a notable difference. I have an Android strictly for app testing purposes and one thing I‘ve noticed is that the “send” arrow on android is where the backspace is on iOS. I‘ve had to delete and resubmit many a comment 🙄😋 7y

Sace @kgriffith hope that means one day Android users will get to edit comments 😁 7y

LaneyCash Thank you! 7y

decaturmamaof2 @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I'm a similar odd duck. Android phone, iPad. 🦆 7y
