Discussion: Adding a book to your shelves on Leafmarks. • Leafmarks • BookLikes

Probably on every page in the top right corner you can find this search box:

Enter the name of your book and click enter. Wait a few seconds(search was lagging for me) and your results should show up on the left.

Click the book you want to take it to it's book page. Once again, wait a few seconds until a blue/gray drop down box shows up to the right of the book title:

(Not all images are working properly on the site for me so it might look a bit different for you but the color should be the same)

Click on it and choose which shelf you want the book on.

I hope this helps!

So frustrating that all the books I'm interested in adding aren't there. None of my Transformer books, not even the one science book I'm reading, and this is by a documentary filmmaker who got rave reviews from people in the AI business.

I still wish I could manually add book!

PS - my dinoporn isn't on there, either.

Don't get too frustrated. The site is very new yet.

I'm still new to Booklikes. I'm not sure I'm ready for another new site. I'll probably join, but I don't think I'll export my books just yet.

I messed something up D:
I tried to upload my csv and it looked ok to me in gedit.
But it says (and has said for a while):

Your Goodreads file was uploaded on December 21, 2013.

0 books have been successfully processed.

0 books failed to process. (Don't worry, we will work on successfully processing any failed rows.)

I have 1200 or so books....but nothing showed up, and now I can't retry or anything. Did anyone else get this issue?

Mine has been saying that for a few hours now. I think they are just a bit overwhelmed.

No, I realize that. I'm just... yeah, as I said in an e-mail to a friend, I'm sure I"ll be happy once I can add books/find the books I want, but I'm gonna hold off on getting too involved there until I can.

Yep. I don't see a way to add books to their database. I just made this post for silly people like me(or only me) who couldn't figure it out since the buttons don't show up all the time. Lag and all that.

Ok, all my first csv has loaded up - piccies and links included. Smashing. However I cannot find a way to import the next bulk. Also, is there a way to export from booklikes? I will be using Booklikes in the near future as I have come to like the atmosphere here. Such a lovely breath of fresh air after grramazon.

I've been having email conversations with Jacquie, one of the founders of Leafmarks, and she says they have been overwhelmed with new signups and imports but they're adding more servers. They were hoping to keep it small to gain feedback and sort out issues before expanding, so numbers signing up were unexpected. She also said this:

Also yes, I plan to add librarian features soon, first probably cover uploading, descriptions, etc. And private message too.

It is exciting being in on the gound floor of a much needed venture. :O)

Any idea how many users they wanted in the beginning? (And how many they got? lol)

#15 by: SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady date: 11 years ago discussions stats

My guess is whatever number they wanted, they got a good bit more!

That might be related to to the sign in issue in this thread. Leafmarks founder replied to that thread in post #14 and if you follow her on here you can send her a PM.
