Bookreader shows black screen, home page missing header
I had to log in on my laptop to access this forum:
On my tablet, the home page is missing the header (everything above the "Internet Archive is a non-profit library . . ." text), user login, search bar, etc.
After copying in the link to get to this forums page, even though the link says details/texts?tab=forum, the blue bar is under Collections. When I click on About or Forums, the link changes to about or forum at the end, but it stays on the Collections page.
Collections show in all text, clicking the "show cover" button doesn't change the display.
In Bookreader, the display pane is black pane with no controls or anything displayed. (Same thing happened in early September)

Well done. See my post on the parent thread.
Thank you. Archive.org has made covid quarantine significantly more bearable.

- home page is back to normal with header showing
- book covers show when I search for a book
- the forums dsplay and I can reply on my tablet
- If I click through to a book in the public domain, I can read it.
The part that's not working:
- If I click through to a book that's available to borrow, I see the black pane, with no Borrow button or scrolling controls.
Seconding jimapplecore's thank you. I usually come out of my local library with a stack of books. I've been using Internet Archive instead, so I did donate!

Everything is working on my laptop, it's just easier to read with the touchscreen on the tablet.

They show up in searches, but when I click through, there is a black pane where Bookreader should show up. No preview, page controls, or borrow button appears.
The book info does show up below the black part of the screen where Bookreader normally appears.

It's got something to do with the access-restricted status of an item, because I can load and read items on the always-available list.
For whatever reason, it's only the items that require a borrow that result in the reader-less Bookreader.
