I couldn't find if this has been requested below, but it would be good to be able to block (or somehow highlight) users that you've had a negative experience with or say, received books that reek of smoke that affect your allergies, so that you wouldn't request from them again. Sometimes it's hard to tell with the usernames.

If an acciunt is inactive for more than a year, please can the wishlist be de-activated.

I list books and they show as being on wishlists but then are for inactive accounts.

I'm not suggesting that the wishlists are emptied, but there must be a way to mark them as inactive

It would be nice to be able to specify the binding in the Advance Search criteria. I have so many books right now that I don't have room for any more hardbacks. An alternative would be to show the binding in the search results - then I would only need to click on the paperbacks to add them to my wish list. Thanks!

Maybe you can add a photo adding button to the manual book adding section?

Please change the data refresh process so that it will pull in title and author on blank entries.

I'd like a clear indication on a member's summary profile of the last date that a book was sent. I don't mind waiting for a while, and understand that some people don't get many mooches, but when I see someone with a number of pending books to be sent, I wonder how active they are and whether it's worth trying to mooch.
As I can only get to the post office once a week, my own profile might occasionally put others off from mooching, so it would be nice to show that I last sent books x days ago.

In the category 'Comics & Graphic Novels' I see a lot of novels not graphic novels! :(
Also, would it be possible to have a sub-category for manga?

How about https being added to bookmooch?
Also the login email sends username and password in clear text.

Both makes me woder if it is save to use bookmooch, it does not seem very secure to me. :/

If this is the wrong place, I'm quite new, please tell me where to request such a feature, thanks. :)

I can hand enter a book I am giving away. BUT there is a book I want. It has an ISBN and I know the title and name. When I search on ISBN 10 or 13 or the title it is not found on any Amazon search.

I cannot add it as a Wishlist book - as only books on Amazon can be added. YET I can hand list it as a book I am giving away. I did this and then was told that this book existed on Amazon (yet not on the Amazon search engine THROUGH this website NOR directly through the Amazon websites). Well whatever I agreed to add this book.

The book then appears with no title, no author name - only the ISBN - which is useless. I then find I can search and find this book BUT I cannot add it to my wishlist!!

So there are a lot of issues here - adding pictures of the book I want, wishlisting a book WITHOUT having to go through Amazon - why do we want to be beholden to Amazon?? And the issue I see a lot which is non-English books not being found.

Has there ever been a bookmooch app?

Here's a thought how about a way to update information on books that are already in bookmooch?

How about this site allow you to trade dvds & cds?

I would like a direct connection to Goodreads so any reviews I have posted there can be seen here. I would like to see my friends and their reviews as compared to what's available on Bookmooch. I would like to be able to scan with Goodreads and add to Bookmooch inventory. The possibilities are endless.

I use the 'review' section to comment about a book's position in a series, or occasionally to add the summary information from the back cover if it's not extracted from the Amazon feed.

It's annoying that any data entered cannot be edited; one has to copy, delete, paste and edit...

A suggestion I think might help things- it seems like a lot of newbies get very excited, post all the books they have, get dozens of requests and then get overwhelmed and just stop responding or using the website. What if there was a limit on how many books you could have in your inventory for, say, the first month? Maybe 10 at any given time? I think that would be less overwhelming and lose less members.

Just a thought.

This feature is useful for multiple mooches but is nonsensical when some of the books have been marked as despatched.

Please can it be changed so that if more books are mooched after the initial mooched have been posted, then the counter re-sets

Thanks

I had a mooch rejected (with good reason) and I had to go back and put the book on my wishlist again. If the sender rejects a mooch that was on your wishlist, the book should be added back to your wishlist.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering with this, since they've made it clear they won't be updating the website at all, but here goes.

I really wish that books I never received did not count in my "books mooched" list and number. There are quite a few that were rejected, lost or canceled due to non-response but it looks like I successfully received every book.

Wishful thinking, I guess, but it's something that's always bugged me.

Utopia, but I may as well ask!

I'd like to see a "highlight old inventory" selection similar to the 'recent' book feed.
This would randomly select books that have been in inventories for say more than a year and highlight them in the same way as the 'recent' feed does. The advantage of doing this would be to draw attention to books that are languishing in inventories, and hopefully have them mooched. I suspect that many books that have been in inventories for a long time are there because they're not recent fiction, possibly even bordering on the obscure. These are the books that one doesn't go searching for, but which, if brought to the attention of the right person who has points to spare, will attract moochers.

The advantages would be:
- moving old inventory, therefore releasing points into circulation
- finding good homes for some books that may never return to BookMooch because they are a little specialised
- putting those books back into BM circulation when they've been read, keeping book turnover
- spending points

Utopia, but maybe worth looking at?

I would like to see members that are inactive for say 100 day or more have their inventory invisible until active again. It's a pain to see something moochable and find out the member has been inactive for long time. The book is not really moochable with that in the way.
