Happy Birthday to PaperBackSwap. Looky looky at your presents. No, you can’t exchange them. No, we don’t have them in a different color. Click What’s New at the top of any page on the site, or go to the Help Center and read the items under What’s New to keep up with what features have been newly added to the site.
Bookshelf Header. New feature. The Bookshelf Header allows you to add a custom, publicly-viewable message at the top of your PBS Bookshelf. You can introduce yourself – give an overview of the types of books you have – comment about a specific book you have posted – invite members to join your Game in the Games Forum – or just say Hello! Read more about this feature here.
Book Notes. New feature. Book Notes allow you to write a private (only you can see it) note on any book in the database. No matter where you are on the site when you apply the note, you will see the note (which appears as a yellow sticky-note applied to the book cover) pretty much everywhere you see the book, and putting your cursor over it will show the note.

Yahoo Address Book Link. New Feature. We have had terrible trouble with Yahoo not delivering PBS emails lately. The Yahoo server will accept the auto-emails from our server but then doesn’t deliver them! This is at least partly being caused by Yahoo members clicking “Mark as Spam” on PBS emails (which can affect the reception of PBS emails for ALL Yahoo users at PBS). Adding the PBS auto-email addresses to your Yahoo address book should solve this problem for an individual member. We have provided a link for our members who use Yahoo. Go to your Account Settings in My Account, and beside your email address (if you use Yahoo) will be this link: Yahoo Mail users: Click here to ensure receipt of PBS emails. Click that, sign into Yahoo if you need to, click on the next page, you’re done. That will keep those Wish List offers and book request emails coming to you.
