The read menu is cool in so far as it goes with book covers and all, but there simply aren't enough choices on a page. Perhaps if it would scroll through say fifty or so works per page as opposed to what, a dozen or so, then it would be so much more efficient to check for works which haven't just been published when you decide to log on. It is a pain to have to click through so many pages to get to a point where you are comfortable that you've already seen all those works listed before - you don' feel like you missed something just because you weren't able to check in for a few days.

It's kind of the same argument from the old site where everyone wanted their work listed on the front page and didn't want to take time to go to the "read and review" where lots of works were readily available. Limiting the works to so few listed on the first page only encourages people to adopt the same habit/mindframe which is counterproductive imho.

But, hey, the site just opened and we can't expect everything to be perfect for everyone at the outset - or at any point. Still some bugs, but I'm getting more comfortable all the time. Good job to date. Take care. Vern

PS: Wheee, all the delays are finally behind us. Just a little more patience for the bugs, folks.

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

With a nod toward GP's nostalgic photos of Gleason and Carney, I recommend TO THE MOON as an apt name for the this group - classic in all ways. Take care. Vern

If you use more words in your edit, then it will cost more points, whereas previously you could add as many words up to the limit without costing any more points; ergo, some (intentionally or not, might post a very short piece costing very few points and then go back and edit it into a very long piece without paying those extra points and also not giving the full credit for those who reviewed it after the revision since they were reviewing a lot more words and only getting credit for reviewing the much shorter original - if that makes sense.

The group thing: You can form a "group" just as this and within that group (you can leave it open to anyone or restrict membership according to your whims) you can choose to charge points for publishing works for review and give credits for reviewing or let members publish and review for free. Yeah, I don't know how it's gonna work either; seems like there will be a lot of divided attention, but who knows.

That's my take anyway. Take care. Vern

Oh, btw, I like the poltergeist image; fitting - the brown stuff not so much, kinda the way I felt after being plugged up for four days after my surgery, lol. Take care. Vern
