Community Sharing via facebook

I thought I'd try out the sharing on facebook feature for an item that I found interesting from Harper's Bible Dictionary. I shared it to my congregation's facebook page. The link worked well, but I was surprised at what I got when I clicked on the link on facebook. I've attached a screen shot of what I've got.

I don't need a license as I have the book in L4. If the issue is that HBD isn't available on Biblia.com then I'd think the message should be different.

I'll cross-post this also to the Biblia.com forum as I'm not sure where the issue is.

Peace & Blessings,

P.S.: I've deleted the link from my congregation's facebook page as I didn't want a non-working link to stay up there.

Harper's Bible Dictionary isn't mobile enabled, which explains the message. FYI - your congregants would get a similar message if you linked to a book they didn't have a license to.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Observation: screen shot includes your email address, option is editing screen shot (e.g. Paint, Paint.NET, ...) then editing thread to upload picture without email.

Keep Smiling [:)]

Yes, but still the message is misleading. It says "you don't own a licence" (which is wrong) and advises you to buy one at logos.com, which doesn't help. Actually this may create a bigger problem: People may be induced to buy a resource they already own (if they disregard the grey button and don't know about the availability icons), wait for a time, then try again, find out that the message fooled them and end up as very unhappy, refund-claiming users at the CS line.

It would be a better idea to have biblia.com differentiate and say something like "this Logos product is not available on the internet due to publisher's restrictions. If you own a licence you may view it locally on your PC or Mac" Then the information is correct and those who are unhappy nevertheless will know who to blame.

Agreed.
