Hello,

Does anyone else having problems with book links to the Mafia Storage site? All I get is blank pages and thus no books. :-(

Sometimes I ask myself, “Why does that ball keep getting bigger?” And then it hits me…

MafiaStorage suffered major database problems so the blank page is all you'll get from links posted before March/April 2015 when they relaunched the site: viewtopic.php?f=112&t=1073320

There are two wee buttons on the bottom right of each pm, a red exclamation mark (!) and a blue 'x'. The x-button is for delete.

Alternatively, if you've several pms you would like to delete, you can do that from the main folder window; for example, from the Inbox main view:
* Click the Mark box beside each pm you want to delete
* Click the drop-down menu whose default selection is 'Mark/Unmark as important'
* Select 'Delete marked'

To directly answer your question: I always request retail copies as opposed to ARC copies.
I assume that by now every new book wouldn't be a scan/OCR :lol:

Can somebody work this out for me, I was searching for a book on here with my iPad using safari and found it so I went to my computer and use Firefox browser to download it but when I put the same search info in it came up as, No suitable matches were found, I tried just the book title then just the authors name in full then the title it was uploaded with I got from my iPad and still nothing. In the end I looked at the upload date and trawled back to the date and found it and downloaded it, anybody got an explanation.

Hello ... I am noticing that the search function is not working as usual also. Were big changes very recently made to the search function on this site? Or is it just malfunctioning?

Sorry, the search doesn't work properly - even popular authors such as Nora Roberts don't work. I am properly logged in and it is happening on all my computers.

Hello, I want to post a release but the title of the book is too long. The title plus the author's name won't fit in the title box. What's the best thing to do?

PM me if links are dead. :)

When that happens it's best to truncate the book title. Always include the full name of the author plus the file format. Those are the important bits. For the shortened title, you can use keywords or key phrases.

We make up for any truncating of the title in the subject field by always including the full title in the post heading, where space is not limited.
