Yeah, not working yet either over here, though I guess we should go ahead and give them all of Tuesday to implement it, eh? wink This is exciting stuff.

I've been checking in here all afternoon in hopes of finding all the improvements in place. Maybe I should go clean the house? Nah.

It's up.

I like many of the change to the WL: Extra spots, (though unlimited maybe a bit much--hope we don't have the same problems as PBS did) The guess as to how long (I'm curious to see how accurate it is). Positions & number of wishers--hooray (and THANK YOU for not having it be mouse-over to see)!

I'm leery of others (ranking? But the main thing is how long it's been on your WL? So...how does it matter? How vital is it I go through and sort my WL--it's going to be a pain & time consuming...how much will it hurt me to just ignore it? If I can just ignore it and not have people jump me in line, then what's the point?)

Some I don't like. The RL being wrapped up into the WL being the big one. I used them differently--some of my RL was in prep to move to my WL but not all of it. I don't see a way to sort by "listed" or by "Held". And I'm a bit boggled that things on my WL were ranked lower than things on my RL--I realize it was by order added, but obviously I wanted the WL better! I know, I know, I can just hold them on my WL, but why can't I just put them on a different list as a reminder that I wanted to look into them, think about them, or order them if they are available & I'm flush with credits? I'll get used to it, I'm sure, but the RL / WL split worked well for me.

Possibly feeling like the site is being very rude: If I don't have things on AR, then will it ask me if I want to buy credits/deposit money? (Since it skips you if you have them on AR). I don't want to pre-buy, especially if I have CDs in the mail. Why should I have $ tied up here, or spend extra $ on credits, if I have no need of it yet? Forcing me to buy credits just in case the rare occurance of my WL shows up is flat out rude. And I hope that isn't the case if things aren't on AR.

Thanks for the new wish list. Nice to see that I am first in line for more than 75% of my request. I think the worse I am is #4 for one title. At least I know where I stand.

I think one change would help, is the choice to select/deselect a entire page of hold. I had to go through my entire list and deselect hold.

I like it, except that I had to go through it and re-order things since most of my reminder items weren't high priority. That took awhile, but now I'm happy. Thanks guys!!

ETA: Everything seems to be working great, except for the few CDs that I would prefer to have on hold - they aren't staying that way.

It must be a Safari thing because they are fine with Firefox.

Wow. When I said that I would love to see a bigger Wish List, I never thought that it would be THIS big!

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

Has anyone figured out how to remover a CD from your WL? I read the new instructions and the help and can't find anything.
Thanks

Make sure you have your wishlist on "expanded view" instead of "condensed view"- there's a pull-down menu at the top right of the wishlist just under "search" and "options". A delete button should show up on the far right of the CD listing. Just click on that to remove it.

So is there any significance to the rank of the Wishlist?

I like the fact we have an unlimited wishlist. However, I don't get the ranking system. Plus, I wish there was a way to separate the ones available from the ones not available without having to manually change the order.

The ranking in the Wish List is there to allow you to more quickly move through a line for a CD you have ranked higher. The CDs you want the most, put them at the top and in theory you will receive them quicker.
