The Journal of Biblical Literature - another long waited journal should be released today
[Y]
And it was also scheduled to be released yesterday, last week, last...
I simply do not trust any date that Logos gives us.
Be patient [:)]
No email yet, but Themelios' came late yesterday so there is still hope.
It still gives a deadline for today. I see that it will be available for ipone too, if my memory is not failing, yesterday, iphone icon wasn't there.
And it's still available for pre-order. I'm beginning to doubt that it will come today.

The Themelios shipping email came at 5:04pm PDT for me yesterday, so I'm still hopeful.
I see the order is 299. Yeeee. Seems like today. Prepub is closed[:)][Y]
Got my email!
Yeehaw! I got my email and it's downloading now. Thankful that Logos is back to being on time with ship dates since a recent rash of slips. Hopeful that this is the new normal.
This is an interesting pre-pub that demostrates the value of getting in early, with the pre-pub price initially resting at $100 before it rose substantially to $150 before reaching $300 post pub.
I'm pleased to admit my error. I now have JBL. Now we need to agitate for the prior volumes going back to the beginning.

Did you have to tell me that? [:P] I was much happier before I knew I'd lost $50.[:'(]

Yes, indeed! I was very excited to get JBL, but kind of crestfallen when I realized/remembered that it only includes volumes 100-125.

Look at it from the bright side: now we've got something to look forward to! And next time I won't wait before getting in. [st]
I'm experiencing a curiosity with quoting from JBL.
If I copy part of an article (particularly the top part, with title and author), and paste into Notepad, I sometimes get the author of the article shown in the 'footnote' below the text. That would be really good, but it doesn't happen when I paste into Word (i.e. it seems to work with text-only.)
Allen,
I just tested this with JBL 103 and the citation pasted into Word just fine. Do other resource copy the citation into Word? Do you have any other program that's not in the Office Suite that could accept a footnote (i.e. OpenOffice) to test if its a Word problem, Clipboard, or Logos issue? What version of Logos are you running?

Okay: I'm having trouble reproducing a difference between RTF and TXT clipboarding, but it seems to behave inconsistently.
Using JBL 103 as an example:
BTW, I'm not complaining: even having the author/title included sometimes is better than what the TJL journals or our dictionary articles do.
The 2 footnotes look like this:
I think I figured it out
If you copy in the first section of the article you get the author mentioning citation
If you copy after any of the subheadings (Introduction, Historical Context etc.) You get the generic one; Definitely a program bug then.
EDIT: bug report here http://community.logos.com/forums/p/33027/246902.aspx#246902
This is a (rather unfortunate) resource issue. I do not know how many articles or volumes are affected, but we will verify all the JBL resources.
Thanks for the report!
Does anyone else's JBL 120 have the front page from Volume 117?
This is not a difference which would possibly affect only one or a few users such as a corrupt file might. Everyone has the same experience with JBL 120 (yes, I checked to be sure).
My vol. 120 says vol. 117 as well.
This occurs in both Logos 4 and Libronix.

Yes, that seems correct, Kevin.
Bug or (partially implemented) feature? It makes some sense (in a limited way) that it can identify the author of the article if there are no other sub-headings above the copied text.
I look foward to the day when dictionary and journal articles are correctly tagged by author, so we could search for anything written by a particular author (say Tom Wright), and receive only those dictionary/journal articles he actually wrote (as well as his books of course.)
