I'll get used it it eventually. I saved the new link on the 2 libraries that have the beta to use now. I might as well do so if they gonna change it anyway. Jump in the cold water so to speak to get it over with.

Have to say though the holds info is really confusing to me now. I am on hold for a book. On the hold page it says:

"#43 on 3 copies"

Ok fine, kind of get it. Then when clicking the questionmark they make my head hurt, popup says:

"There are (at most) 20 people ahead of you in line.

Total holds: 60
Your holds position: #42 on 3 copies"

Its like saying the same thing 3 different ways.
Yet, if I am #42 and there are 3 books, why are there at most 20 ahead of me. Wouldn't it be more like....? Never mind. I do not have the genetics for math. This is like those things they used to do in school like "your house is 3 km to the west, you drive your bike 1km per hour while carrying a basket of apples........

I prefer...
Total holds: 60
Your holds position: #42 on 3 copies"
It makes sense. It means you are #42 and there are 3 copies.

What I am going to have to do is make a list of the borrow and hold amounts at the various libraries since there seems no way to get this.
