Remind me not to ever visit those other sites, lol. I'm certainly glad this site doesn't automatically subscribe me to every thread I post in; much rather subscribe myself if it warrants notification. It would be a real pain to have to unsubscribe to everything to get rid of all the needless email. Take care. Vern

Only my two cents worth at a discount, but other than keeping the books on their own thread - that's a good idea - you guys started out as two people talking about anything that came to mind whether music, reviews, toilet seats, or whatever and that was your draw and strength. Of course this is a new show and things are a bit different on this new site, but sometimes new and improved just ain't better. Just my opinion and I ain't voting cause this ain't a democracy, it's y'alls baby. Take care. Vern

I didn't realize the site logo in the upper left corner was the "home" button at first, but now that we have been educated, I don't see any need/reason for TWO buttons for the same thing, especially if it reqires more than a minor change to programming - like thirty seconds, lol. Take care. Vern

As a rule of thumb, agents want a one to two page synopsis; generally one page is preferred unless it can't cover a long complicated novel. However, quite a few agents only want a query initially; their individual quidelines can be found on their web sites. It is best to check those quidelines before submitting to save time and unneeded effort as well as increase your chances to be considered. As we, they may have their idiosyncracies as far as what they are looking for.

You can sometimes find a blog of a member of the agency which gives guidelines for the type query and synopsis they are looking for.
Still, In the end, if your query and/or synopsis is well written and appropriate subject matter for that agency, the exact length will not be the determining factor for acceptance. Good luck. Take care. Vern

I agree that would be a useful option. Until it happens - and you probably already know this with your experience in various forums, but some may not - you can click on the last post as shown and it will take you to the that post rather than to the first where you would have to scroll through everything (sometimes severall pages) to get to where you want to be. Of course from that point you merely scroll backwards to produce the last to first results. It's a bandaid, but it works. Take care. Vern

The actual pictures are included with the text and the BBCode from the site was used to install them. That's all I know. You could join the group long enough to see for yourself if you wish since I'm not into all this technical stuff - I know the site BBCode was used because I asked about the pics a few days ago. I'm sure GP or John would be glad to tell you how they did it. Take care. Vern

You're wrong. Check out The Hodge Forum here: http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/forums/topic30-.html

Lots of pics; just don't ask me how to do it, I'm still working on that, but GP or John might be able to help you. Take care. Vern

I agree it would be nice to have a way to print out all the comments in an inline review and I also agree it would be nice to have higher limits on the content per box in an inline review, but call me crazy, I don't understand it being too difficullt, tedious, time consuming, whatever to look for the individual comments either the original by the reviewer or the response to the review. Seriously, you're not talking humongous amounts of time here, maybe a few minutes max.

When I get an inline review, I look at each box and generally will leave a comment in most. After giving an inline review, I go back to check to see what if any comments are left by the author in each and every one of those boxes and may leave additional comments. Others can comment also, though I'm not sure most are aware of that function since I haven't seen it utilized to date.

To the point, if receiving comments on our work is not important enough to spend a few minutes to check them out and/or respond, then we're not really that hyped on getting feedback imho. That's the way I see it. Take care. Vern

Just a thought and don't know if it applies, but some folks (non-paying) can't see the inline reviews as I understand it anyway. So, I suppose if that were the case then it would seem useless and they may not be aware of their limitations. And some may just have problems accessing it as I did originally until Sol found a compatibility problem and solved it. That being said, as already mentioned they could request up front a regular review and certainly should not dismiss any time anyone spends on their work. I certainly would not bother with them again with the attitude expressed regardless of their circumstances. Take care. Vern

My bad, glasses must've been fogged up, lol. Take care. Vern

I assume that it is a bug (though a small one) but you can delete the one you don't want. Take care. Vern
