8. Trouble Shooting Issue 1:
I don’t see the rest of the series!
From the March 2015 List I clicked on the series link “Obsidian Mirror” but only got 2
hits. Which is weird because this is clearly the 3rd volume.
What went wrong?!?
9. Trouble Shooting Issue 1:
I don’t see the rest of the series!
Your preferences need to be updated to search across ALL McNaughton holdings and
not just the current pick lists.
1. Click or hover over your Username
2. Select User Preferences
3. Under McNaughton Preferences uncheck the box to search only the lists
4. Hit Save
10. Trouble Shooting Issue 2:
Did I already purchase a volume in the series?
If you do a series search and one of the volumes appears with a green “O” tile than this
book has already been Ordered. A green “L” would indicate it’s on another list. Since
we know “Under the Never Sky” has already been order we only need to buy the other
two. Remember Bibz.com only knows your previous purchases under this account.
Double check your ILS to ensure you didn’t purchase a previous volume elsewhere.
