Topic: Category list

In the old site, there was a list of genres one could click on to find postings in that particular category. We have groups now, but searching through them to find a particular genre is tedious, not to mention that all genres aren't listed. Plus, authors might not have joined any groups. If there is a similar list here, I haven't found it. If not, can there be one?

Re: Category list

The list exists. If you go to Read and Groups or Connections content there are a series of search boxes above the results. You can use them to search by type, genre, and group.

Those search boxes leave out several genres, including mine - Thriller. And as a test I typed in Action and Adventure and got nothing.

Re: Category list

Okay, I discovered that by clicking on All in the genre box, all the genres come up. So are the ones listed without doing that considered more important by Sol the Magnificent? smile

Re: Category list

They should all be there without having to click All. I see Thrillers. I do think they need to be alphabetized though.

Re: Category list

It's that scrolling issue I've brought up before. My list stops at Mystery, unless I hold the mouse clicker down and move it down the highlighted list. Then I can see all the genres but can't click on any "hiding" beyond Mystery. As soon as I take my finger off the mouse, the original short list returns.

Re: Category list

Got it. You're not getting the scroll bar. Okay. And you are still having problems with the Connections page?

Re: Category list

No, my "Send a Message" to my connections scroller issue has been solved; as has, apparently this latest scrolling issue in the last few minutes! Sol, you're either an attentive genius or this was just a temporary glitch. Maybe both? smile Thanks!

Jack, I've created a group to (hopefully) make communicating in the old fashion a bit easier. Take a peek at the OLD FORUMS GROUP

I see the problem you are having with your homepage. No wonder you have had such a hard time on the new site. It is almost impossible to use iwthout a functioning homepage. You've been trying to access the old homepage. Just go to www.thenextbigwriter.com. Make sure you don't boomark the old address..
