Okay, I give. I have no clue what's going on. Apparently I posted the first three chapters of Reaction Time - Hostages on the internet so that no points are accumulated by reviewers. Worse yet, its apparently out on the web floating around. So, after flaying around for two days I thought I had found I could change the way it was posted. For this I was charged 20+ points. However, nothing changed! It's still out there and reviewers still can't get points for their reviews. So, how do I change the settings so that it can be reviewed on the site for points? R.M.

Here's what to do:

1. Go to your content again and the Publish settings page.
2. Go to the section titled: Choose who can see your content.
3. Change the drop-down from Group Members, Connections, and Internet to Group Members and Connections.

Click the red Update Publish Settings button.

Your content will no longer be out on the Internet.

Tell me about it! I still have no clue what's happened to the point system. I've been told by readers that they can and cannot review Reaction Time for points. Others have said there are two versions of the book out there, one for points and one not for points! Then, there seems to be some books restricted to specific groups. Unfortunately, I can't find an understandable explanation of the point system anywhere. R.M.

I'm writing an explanation of it now. But basically, to have content pay points you need to post it into a group that pays points. You will know if you are doing this because when you publish it will deduct the points and give you a message. Groups with points have a coin symbol after them when you publish. If it doesn't have the coin symbol, and you post to it, the content will not cost points but it will not pay points.

So, you can choose to post to a group that requires points and the content will pay points or you can choose to post free, and the content will not pay points.

When viewing content to read, it will indicate whether it pays points or not by the coin symbol. No coin symbol, no points.

You can change whether content pays points anytime. To do this, go into your Portfolio, click the content and then click the Publish sub-tab. From there, choose  the section: Choose which groups to publish your content to. You can add free groups no problem. You can also add point groups although it will cost you the points to do this.

Hope that helps. A more extensive guide will be coming later today.
