Search options (Page 37 of 40)

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.)

But you could do a separate page for each category, yes? You're saying "but there are way more categories now!" Which is what we are saying. smile Much to find, and no central way to find it. We have to go to each group to find new content, and then realize that there's a way there to search by genre. And then THAT's still something we have to repeat by group to find anything.

Sol, forgive me, but it's still not the same. Wouldn't it be possible to have one page that lists all the new content in the three categories without the book covers, like the old days. Then we could could go to that and more easily look through the pickings. You could have another list with the bookcovers, but I would definitely like a list in the three main categories, condensed, all on one page.

But it's good to have it.  With  the forums I have to navigate to the group page where I see a list of forums, but not any indication of which have new messages.  I need another click and another wait to get to the forum.  It used to be one master page, which would tell me where I needed to look.  Now it's a click to a page that lists a few forums, but does not let me see or do anything useful with them.  (It might as well not be on that page.)  Then it's a second click and a second page load to get to that subset of forums.

No, I don't get a second-page option. I can see the last names on the list if I scroll down the names instead of using the scroller, but I can't click on them. If I try, it sends me back to the first name on the list.

Sol, when I scroll down my list of connections in order to send a private message, it stops before reaching the bottom of the list.

I uploaded but didn't publish several chapters of my current wip when this site launched last week--today I went back to publish the first of them and spent twenty minutes navigating through the various portfolio views to try to find them.

Two main things are very confusing and/or annoying about the portfolio and publishing....
1. Every time you click on a 'Post Your Writing', it takes you to the list of your projects. I find the one I wish to amend and click it. Instead of taking me into a place where I can choose what I want to do--it automatically takes you to the "update main information" page instead.

This is a very nice feature.
However, using it seems a bit clunky right now.
On goodreads, you can simply tap the Amazon link to add it, without copying and pasting the ISBN.
Also, there seems to be a glitch - I added books to my recommended shelf, but only five books appear,;when I re-added them, I received a message that they had already been added, but they still don't appear.

You don't even need a link, just one or more options in the user's profile.  I think that would be the more confentional way to do it, anyway, and it could be implemented with a CSS control instead of whole new pages.

That's not what happened when I made two minor changes to two of my chapters. In one, I deleted two words. I was charged 0.22 points. In another, I shortened the Chapter Title by two words. For that, I was charged 0.07 points. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but it appears we are being charged for ANY edit, regardless if it makes the content shorter or longer, or if we even replace a word with another one.
