Search options (Page 36 of 40)

Thanks, Sol.  Just fiddling around I see that you can use filters on the Home page to sort by genre, which is what I was looking for. I'm sure I'll get the knack of using the new features soon, although I tend to be a bit slow on the uptake.

Please forgive me, I'm so un-tech-savvy that I have to be told at least a dozen times before I actually get it. I've joined five groups, one of which is my own, Kid's Korner. I understand that is the limit (which is rather upsetting) When I post to Premium, will that story be seen in 'Free'? Or will it only show up in the groups I select.
I've grown attached to several stories which fit into more than five categories, and if those writers don't post to either free or premium, I'll loose track of them. And I'll hope to join more YA and Romance groups because that's the only way I'll learn from the best - unless they also post to premium.
Help me understand this.
Thanks,
MzP

I don't think our credits update until the next time you sign in, which is why you might be thinking the work was done for free.

I'd like to be able to see new postings on the Home page filtered by type--novel, short story, poetry. I generally critique short stories and poetry only and as it is now I have to hunt for them. Also, are all new members automatically in the Free group, so I can see their postings even if they are not part of another group of which I'm a member?
Sol et al, information please.

Sol, this is what I'm seeing on the site homepage most of the time when I log in:
An error occurred

What I miss is the scroll of new posts so that I can decide if I want to read new writers.

I also miss the option of going to the list of reviews given and received (the one-line list) as opposed to the full reviews.

I've just emailed you images for the angle-bracket bug, the summary-behind-image problem, and a cursor oddity that occurs using IE.  Using Chrome, the cursor flips between arrow, text bar, and finger very quickly as you move it through the region in question.
Please let me know if the email doesn't show up, or if you need more info.  I suspect that the two HTML-related problems may originate in the same area, but that's a guess from the outside.

Thank you so much for listening Sol. Would you consider adding one teeny thing to the priority to do list?  Add a remember me button to the log in and remove whatever it is that is timing it out? Even after having the login each time, if the screen gets minimized for any length of time the system auto logs you out. Thanks again!!

Favor to ask.  Please increase the clock before the mandatory logout.  I just worked an hour on a really good review, the clock kicked me out and the review was lost as I was forced to log in again.  For writing and editing online, this will cause a lot of lost work.  While taking the time for a decent review, I've just wasted an hour of my life.
Thanks in advance.  Now I have to go back and do that review again.

Sol, I agree it sounds good on paper, but I'm not quite clear on how this change is going to work. As I understand it, at present each group can decide what "credits" if any are required to post within that group. So if the above change is made does that mean one could post something in a very low credit group and then it is also posted in all other groups for no additional credits even though other groups might require more credits for posting? Inquiring minds want to know. I can see it is going to take some time to get all the wrinkles ironed out. Good luck. Take care. Vern

When we post a new work going forward, we will have to pay credit points separately for each of the groups we post to which have a credit system, including TNBW Premium, plus credit points to the site as a whole, if we want that post to be part of the credit system when it is reviewed? (And obviously, this is not optional in groups that use a credit system. To post there we must use points.)
But we could still participate in a group that costs points if we want to join for conversation. We just couldn't share work there unless willing to pay for it with credit points accumulated in that specific group. We could share it on the site as a whole though, or in other groups, of we have credit points elsewhere or want to post it without using the credit system in a Free Group.
When we review, we receive separate points earnings for any of the groups we are in where that work has been posted, and each of those groups act as separate sites, yes? But we would not receive points for (for example) The ROMANCE GROUP if we're not a member of that group, even if the work is posted in that group. We'd first have to join that group.
(Is there a way to see what our credit balance is for each group that has a point system? Or is this tallied on our profile somewhere? I see a bulk point accumulation on my HOME PAGE, but I don't understand how this correlates to all the separate groups? I don't see it on the Home Page of the TNBW Premium Group either? It says I have 2.30 points on my Home Page. I don't know what that means.)
