Sol.  Something changed a couple of days ago. Now, when I begin an in-line review I cannot change the font size. The mouse turns into a 'hand', but nothing happens when I click it.  I can change backgrounds and reverse the text, but sizing the font is unavailable.

I was trying to use my android phone with the default browser to respond to someone else's entry on the Wish List thread. I was able to read their part of the thread, but when I was typing my reply in the Write Message box at the bottom of the screen, after a few paragraphs, the view kept jumping up to display what I was responding to, rather than where I had been typing. I had to abandon the reply. This may be because my reply was too long for the android screen and things got confused. That's just a guess though.

Okay!  It's working again.  Thank you.

As I understand it (and trust me when I say my understanding is still wobbly), changing version numbers does not generate a for points 'new' content listing. Therefore, unless you make announcements and send private messages to everyone, it will never be seen as an edited version and they won't earn points for reviewing the rewrite.  In order to generate a new content listing that offers points, you need to create an entirely new project--even if it's just an edited version of an already existing project. He's done this to replace the old 'republish' feature. While I like the fact that he did away with the exorbitant point sucker, I don't like being forced to turn a single project into endless multiples in order to continue getting valuable rewrite feedback.

I am a member on another website, and the way it gets around this problem is that the dialogue box for the inlines contains two sections.  The top 75% contains the entry text for your critique comments (it also scrolls as the text gets larger than the space).  The bottom 25% shows the text you selected to edit.  This section can be collapsed or expanded to be larger, and also scrolls.  The inline box is also larger overall, so it doesn't feel so cramped.  With this feature, the text you have selected to comment on is ALWAYS just below your comments.  It's very convenient.

Also,
last week I kept getting email telling me I had a request for a new connection. I got about 6 or 7 in a few days. When I check, no new requests were there. Also I aften get two notifications for the the same site message. I don't know if it's me or something gone awry.

That said, are you suggesting we use a series of regular or inline feedback reviews to have a discussion? I suppose reviews could be used for that (the complete set of reviews appears right after the chapter), although that workflow right now would involve an awful lot of clicking and scrolling. And how would we be notified if someone has added another review to someone else's work? Are the coming enhancements going to address all of that?

Much bigger wish item: for each author, and for each work, an authomatically created forum thread that appears in its own place AND ALSO can, at the author's discretion, appear in each or any of the groups in which the author is a member.  For the 'root' groups (premium and ?base?) the author/work threads should probably be shunted to a nested set of forums.
