So you start from the bottom of the list and go up? What is this, Chinese? Okay, if that's the drill, I'll accept it. I guess. But you haven't explained how I got .03 points deducted for posting a poem on Premium when I did no such thing. The point value is miniscule, but it suggests a flaw in the system.

There is obviously a misunderstanding here. What I was pointing out was that to post a story into this group, it now costs points to do so. The easiest solution to avoid spending points would be to post the story in the Free TNBW group. But then the advantage of posting in your genre, and thus making it easier for people to find your posting, would be lost. I'm a thriller writer, so if I'm looking for a new thriller posting, I would come to this group. As an example, Janet Taylor-Perry is a member of this group, but she posted her latest story in the TNBW Free group, with thousands of members. Someone who doesn't know her would have to stumble upon the posting by accident.

So I don't think it's complicated, Dags. You've posted in this group. Right now it will cost you points to do so. But if we make our group free, it won't, and you'll still have the advantage of having your story in the appropriate genre group.

Cobber, there's no "extra" points required to post into this group. It costs the same no matter what points-required group you post into. And posting in this forum or the general forum obviously doesn't cost any points. I posted this issue in our forum, because it only involves our members. For topics relevant to TNBW members at large, the Premium or Free forums would be the appropriate venue.

I started the group using the old incentive system - get points by reviewing so you can spend them on posts - because I liked it. But if the TMS members prefer to make it a free site, that's easily changed.

Clear as mud now?

If all the groups become no-points-required for posting, then getting points for reviewing would be essentially worthless. I thought the old system worked well. Authors accumulated points for doing the work of reviewing, and in return, they could post their own stuff. Now it'll be a free-for-all, with the only governor in the process being reciprocity. Maybe that's a good thing; I don't know. I'll canvass the members of my group to see what they think.

Okay, I just tried it again. Now JudyS781 is clearly visible, but the next name in the list is not. Is this a time issue? The last two names were connected in the last two days.

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.

Hey, Janet - As far as I'm concerned, the group is there for like-minded authors to talk about the genre, give - and receive - advice/tips. Don't feel like you have to post your stories in the sub-group. If I were you, I'd post them in the Premium group. Members of the sub-groups to which you belong - and your connections - will be made aware of the posting. And it will get you a larger audience. Think of the TMS group as a place to have a cup of coffee and chat about the genre. That's why I started it - not to develop an elite clique.

I don't know what that means - active vs inactive. My poems and short story are ancient compared to my novels. None have had a review in years - long before any of the novels had received a review. So I don't get it.

Hey, Max - I suggested it, but Dagnee told you to do it. So blame her, not me.
