I noted on Oct. 5 in the New Feature thread about improved classification pages that the Library of Congress class page for PR, English Language and Literature, had only 1 subheading, PR 0 to PR 10000. I asked Tim about it in this post:
https://www.librarything.com/topic/335290#7620062
He took a look at it and replied:
Oh God, none of the LCC structure under PR got entered. Misery. Okay, looking at how to get it in.
(Link to that comment is here:

That was maybe five weeks ago and the PR page still looks the same:
https://www.librarything.com/lcc/PR0-10000#
I don't know if this technically counts as a bug or if it's more like a dropped ball, but since a lot of the most-owned books on LT fall into the PR classification (all the Harry Potter novels, some Austen and Brontes, George Orwell, and Lords of both the Rings and the Flies), it would be really great to have that part of the LCC entered.

Thanks for the nudge on this! I'll remind timspalding about it.

Okay, I entered them, and all the attendant connections to other data is now populated.

>3 timspalding: Maybe I'm confused, but when I go to
https://www.librarything.com/lcc/PR
under "PR. English" it says, "See 1 subhead," and clicking that subhead is the same as before:
PR0-10000. English Literature
So I don't know where you added it, but I'm still not seeing it in the place where I'd been looking. What am I missing?!?

Okay, should be there now. I'm FORCING a cache clear. I'll have to turn that off later, but it should be good.

Cache clear does not seem to have done anything to change this thus far. Still only seeing the one subhead.
7knerd.knitter
If you click on the text (English Literature) after PR0-10000, then it expands and shows 24 subheadings.

I was checking into a classification question and went back to the PR page in LCC, and the subheads that were there on Nov. 30 seem to be gone again. If I do as knerd.knitter suggests in message 7, click on the text English Literature after PR0-10000, it just sends me back to this link:
https://www.librarything.com/lcc/PR0-10000
where it says "See 1 subhead." So it looks like it reverted back to its pre-Nov. 30 state. Let me know if I'm somehow missing something -- it's getting late and I really shouldn't be posting anything when I'm this tired. Thanks in advance for your help. :-)

>11 gilroy: Thanks, I've pinged the developers.

>11 gilroy: >12 kristilabrie: Thank you both for the assist. I think the bug tracking was implemented during the years when I used LT only to track books bought and read (and related dates), and I haven't taken the time since I've resumed checking Talk to figure out the bug tracking procedures. It's probably pretty easy, but I just haven't looked at it --- so, thanks again. :-)

I'm pretty sure I peeked at this a couple days ago and it appeared to be fixed. Now that I have a bit of time, I figured I'd come back here and close the bug if I could see how to do it. :-
Before doing that, I jumped back over to the PR page just to be sure it was fixed ... and sadly it seems to have reverted again: I click "See 1 subhead," then I click "English Literature," and it just reloads "See 1 subhead" again.
