Congrats to all selected as finalists and to all who won by entering. Take care. Vern

Open your portfolio and click on the "Action" button to the right of the novel you wish to deactivate a chapter. Then click on the "publishing setup" and when the screen pops up,  just click the appropriate chapter where it says "Active" in order to select the deactivate option. Take care. Vern

It's not tomorrow or next Monday yet. Take care. Vern

Ahh, yesss, couldn't agree more. And well worth a fleeting mouse click - or two even, lol. Take care. WC Fields/Vern

Hell hath no wrath like ... well who knows, but not me, lol. Anyway, logically speaking, it is still only one click if you wish to use the x-line; just click it initially. And just to point out one obvious reason for someone not to use it - moi for instance - is that you get more of the context to set the comment in when they aren't all listed in a row. I've looked at several where you have a word or two and no other context because the text is blocked by a dozen comment boxes. Still, as stated it's only one click and I for one still have the stamina to make it in either direction. Now, if I were Sol, and had to change the programming, it might burn a few more calories, but that's his weight loss to ponder not mine. And besides, who else is going to play the devil's advocate in writers' ever expanding desires for saving a mouse click. How on earth did they ever survive the quill and ink well, lol. Take care. Vern

Seems like a low priority to me; you're talking one click for crying out loud. But hey, if we're trying to alleviate any effort on anyone's part, how about a respirator to breathe for me, and I can probably think of a few more things which could reduce the burning of one-and-a-half calories and save a nanosecond or two. Or maybe just link us all up to a Matrix; don't forget to roll us over so we don't get bedsores, lol. Take care. Vern

Once upon a time, radio would replace books, then television would replace radio, then computers would replace television, then phones would replace computers,  then watches would replace phones .... There is always something to come along which is going to replace the existing something. Things have a way of balancing out and the old will most always have a niche even as the new takes over. And now I'm going to go write a letter with my quill. Take care. Vern

Not much different than overall income disparity in the US. An article in the Seattle Times showed that top 1% of US earners took in over 20% of all income in 2013. Take care. Vern

Hmm ... research for poetry? No wonder I'm not a poet, I thought it was all about passion; dang it, blew another one, lol. Take care. Vern

But the orange button exists after a list which is as far as most folks get; they never bother with the orange button. Without that preceding list, the orange buttons would mandate a much broader exposure for all works, not merely the few on the current front page. And lo and behold, all those entries on the front page some are afraid of missing would still be the first ones you see on a more inclusive list.

As noted earlier, I would think the broadest exposure for all works (from new and established members alike) would be the primary goal.  Just clarifying my opinion. But, I'm flexible; I can live with or without the changes; a click here or there is not going to drain all my energy or ruin my day. Take care. Vern

Hello, KH, I understand; that's my point. Most everybody depends on the front page, so if something disappears from the front page before it is seen, it just as well have never been posted for a great many folks - probably a vast majority.

If the goal is to get the most exposure for everyone - naïve as that may sound - then the listing on the front page is a deterrent to that end imo. Oh well, to each their own. Take care. Vern

Just to give you a bit more incentive; I'd hate to have to post them all, lol:
