Bookshelves - Are They Worth Keeping

[Hayley]

(The app, not our actual shelves. Don't worry, I haven't gone completely mad )

 

A little while ago we added the 'bookshelves' feature to the forum. It looks pretty and it had some use, but I don't think many people are really using them. 

 

Invision (the company who makes the forum software) have just announced that they are going to stop supporting apps like the bookcase. We will still be able to keep it, but I'd have to go through the actual developer rather than Invision as a company. So I think this is the time to decide... do we want to keep the bookshelves feature? Or is it an unnecessary part of the forum?

The idea of the bookshelves is a good one but I don't use them so I wouldn't miss them. There are other sites such as Goodreads and Librarything which do the same thing in a much easier way.

I used the bookshelves on a few occasions but found them rather time consuming so stopped.

I don't think that they are necessary, either. Used them in the past but not now.

I don't use them,I use Library thing and Goodreads.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I’ll ask about taking it out during our next update
