Back to Common Grounds.

I made a thread here rather than bugging it due to the length of the log that would be involved with the bug report.

Critique by the Righteous Principality of New Celest:
    It would seem in the opinion of this Librarian a poor precedent
    to set that such direct translations of the works of others do not at
    the very least deserve credit to the original scribe. Nokraenom here
    fails to even mention the Scribe of the Elders to whom the original
    Divine script is attributed, and provides nothing of substance beyond
    the text as given in the original, hardly worthy of publication
    solely under one's own name.
This book is considered an undistinguished, below-standard publication.

The Necropolis Library Atrium.
Two doorless archways lead out of this room to Wraith Lane and Mourning Lane on
either side of the Necropolis. Every wall of this library is lined with heavy
marble shelves that are part of the walls themselves, filled with ancient
tomes. The centre of the room is occupied by four plain wooden tables with
unpadded wooden benches. The ceiling is lined with candles, shifting in eerie
patterns as they float around the room. The doorway to the southeast glows with
dark energy from some device of great power in the next room, the glow pulling
colour and light out of the air into the void beyond. A library catalogue rests
here on a pedestal. A painting of Master Nasir n'Rotri is proudly exhibited on
a nearby wall. Sitting on its haunches, a bloodhound rests here. Sanguinary
Potentate, Nymerya d'Erlette, Lady of the Flame is here. She wields a tower
shield of twilight blue steel in her left hand.
You see exits leading northeast, south, northwest, and in.

I've noticed this with other books as well. Copies just seem to mysteriously vanish, and fairly often. That book should have 5 overall copies, and I've only seen 1 checked in lately, every single time I check. With other books the copies are also missing entirely, and with one I never got a chance to review it (even though I catalogued it as secret so I could when it was returned) because the only copy vanished.

The 2nd bug:

I edited that book (bookID 1) without unsealing it and checked it back in, after it had been published. I subsequently checked it out, unsealed it, sealed it, and checked it back in so it wouldn't bypass the intended system, but it is possible to do so.

3rd problem (not sure if it's a bug):

See my other thread

I bugged that first one a while ago. I've also added an idea that would show us a log of who checked out books and how long until they returned. ALso.. instead of seeing 0 copies it would be nice to see 0/5 copies indicating the total number of copies.
