Thank you for reporting.
Do mean buttons in the book pop up or post button under the text editor box?
It would be useful if you could send a screenshot of the problematic place to Kate@booklikes.com
I'm still having trouble getting my posts to post. If I compose in the text window and try to post, I get the error message about "This site is asking if you want to leave this window." The only way I can get my post to post is to cut-and-paste it into a NEW BookLikes window, preview it, save it as a draft, and THEN, FINALLY -- sometimes -- it will post.
I'm working on an HP laptop with Windows 10 and Firefox browser.
I NOW CAN'T POST ANYTHING AT ALL. IT'S FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN ARIZONA AND I'M ASSUMING THERE'S NO BOOKLIKES STAFF ON DUTY UNTIL MONDAY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
50 minutes later -- Now I'm crying because I'm so completely frustrated. I can't take screen shots of things that aren't visible. Now I get notifications of comments, but when I click on the notification button, it just takes me to my blog, to all my posts, NOT TO THE COMMENT.
I can't deal with this any more. I just can't.

Now I've found out that people can post comments on my DRAFTS. What the hell is going on?
It's Firefox - I was able to recreate the problem with posts AND with comments. I've posted in your comments on our ongoing discussion with the fix.
Also, I created a seperate post here:

in case anyone else is having the same problems using BookLikes on Firefox.
UNINSTALL FIREFOX - all of it! Then reinstall. Don't just update. Take it all off and then put it back on. See if that works. That's the only thing that worked for me when I was having issues.

Frankly, I feel more comfortable with the uninstall/reinstall process. I don't like messing with programing. I'll try it later on today or maybe tomorrow when BF is around -- he's the techie -- and see what happens.
Linda, so sorry to hear about your issues! We've reported all the mentioned problems to our developers and we're waiting for an update and more information.
I'm having trouble searching books by ASIN number, attaching to posts by ASIN number and ASIN numbers not here no longer pull in from Amazon. I posted out to dashboard to see if just me or my browser to mixed responses. Murder by Death spotted a different pattern thinking it's only books published after 2016 affected.
In case that post collects comments of use, i

I just tried searching by ASIN and then by title to mark ASIN B073FYLK6L as currently reading.
Search failed. That edition was another 2017 publication. I had apparently found it before because when clicking author's name on another of her books, there it was shelved as "planning to read."
I tried to add the book and was told that the ASIN already existed.
Not sure if a related pattern, but I'm seeing a lot of book pages without an Amazon.com link Some have no link and some only the Amazon.co.uk link.
I use Amazon.com, but I usually see both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk links.

Same here, Debbie. I just shelved a book that I purchased from Amazon.com. Book in hand, keyed in the ISBN, and it came up, but no amazon.com. Only Amazon.uk.
Thanks. Just wanted to confirm we're looking into the issue as we speak!
I just tried to import an audiobook "The Secrets She Keeps" with ASIN #B071Z5B646. When I searched by this ASIN it pulled up another book (sorry I can't remember the title now, Finder?). I took a look at that title and it had an ISBN, no ASIN. I then searched by title for The Secrets She Keeps and manually entered the book with the ASIN and it worked. Now when I search on that ASIN it pulls up The Secrets She Keeps but there is no Amazon link. I hope that made sense but something is definitely wrong.
