How are typo reports handled?

I submitted a couple of typos in the Logos NASB 95 paragraph edition six or eight months ago. These are punctuation - missing quotation marks - that are correctly shown in the Logos NASB 95 verse-by-verse edition, and in Lockman's print publications of the NASB 95, so they are clearly well-taken and verifiable. But these typos remain uncorrected.

How does Logos deal with typo reports?

    Note I've submitted lots of typos, and thus my interest. Many of my reports have been of incorrect links, where the text of a commentary or monograph shows only verse numbers referring to an earlier-cited chapter, and that verse in some chapter other than what's intended gets linked.

    I don't know what criteria Logos uses today. Use to be when I submitted a typo I would get a message about my good reading and later don't know how long some of the typos were fixed.

    Interesting. I have never gotten an acknowledgment of a typo report. I've filed four or five today - all references to various verses that are actually in 2 Cor 3, but all the links were to 2 Cor 8. An intervening "cf. 2 Cor 8" threw off the bot or human cross-reference generator for the rest of the discussion of verses in 2 Cor 3.

    Unless something has changed, they don't do typos one at a time. Instead, they originally revisit old resources. At least historically, the prioritization included the number of typos reported in a book and the number of people who owned that resource. So reporting them helps you move forward in line but it might happen very quickly or might take a long time.
