Image download problem fixed
Lately, many Botanicus users have been experiencing difficulty in downloading individual images from the site. This has been happening particularly when users have attempted to download the high quality versions of the images.
We wanted to inform you the users that the problem has now been fixed, and you should not have any further trouble in saving images from Botanicus. However, if you do still come across this problem while using the site, please let us know.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone, and we greatly appreciate your patience while we resolved the issue.

Thank you for taking notice. I tried to download some pages that would not download recently. It still is not possible to download text pages of 'Description des plantes rares cultivées à Malmaison et à Navarre', of Aimé Bonpland. Could you fix that problem too?
Still unable to download images from Carolus Clusius 'Rariorum Plantarum Historia'. Thanks for your rapid attention to this problem, and best of luck with what I hope is an easy fix.
Thanks so much!
Klaas,
Quite a few of our titles were imported from our former book hosting site Illustrated Garden. The files from that site were presented in a much lower resolution, thus when they were absorbed into Botanicus, they were still subject to these limitations. This explains why users such as yourself are unable to download high quality versions of the pages for those particular volumes.
We are in the process of referring back to our archived high resolution scans from these books and from time to time will be uploading these titles again to utilize our current standards of providing downloadable high resolution JP2 files of these pages. We are doing this as time permits in our busy production schedule, so we ask that you be patient with us as we are doing so.
Sir,
Last three months, I have been trying to download the publication of Roth, Albrecht Wilhelm,(1757-1834), Novae plantarum species and de Candolle's Prodromus (some pars. I could download them but to no use. Every time there appears a message indicating that there was an error in opening the document. It is gone. It is frustating. Please do something to remove this problem. Othewise, it is all working and wonderful. Thanks.

First, thank you very much for your immense work. I'am really happy for that. Concerning download problems, I have them with Tabernaemontanus, both editions you have online. And for Linné, Species plantarum (1797-1824) vol 1, part 1 is o.k., but for the rest (v1 p2 to v6 p1-2) it doesn't show the download option.
Thank you very much
Continued thanks to everyone's efforts to notify us of missing download options! Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the users of Botanicus.
In good news, we have now developed programming to detect these missing download options as well as incomplete PDF's, and we are working our way through processing the backlog of these errors. There is a considerable number of these errors, so please be patient with us as we process these through our system.
Hello (from France)!
I suddenly discover the news about the download problem (dated january 2009).
Thanks to the whole team, Mike, Chris… and the TECHNICIANS! Chris, do you remember when I told you that there was a problem ;-)?
Like Klaas I will now work the "Malmaison" pictures of cacti.
You are the best! Please continue: the "crisis" is not the problem of "knowledge propagation"…
Still not downloading - http://www.botanicus.org/title/b12075565#
Any idea when it will be fixed?
I am trying to print selected pages from John Gerard's Herball from the site but cannot get it to print despite many efforts in many formats. The page prints blank except for a "pafe 1 of 1" in the top right corner and the web url address in the bottom left corner. Any thoughts on how to get a page to print? It is almost as if there is code preventing prints.
