As this thread is 'wishlist', another wish from me:

I absolutely love being able to increase the font size and contrast of a story. My old and tired eyes thank you for it, but (there's always a but, isn't there), When I go down to view or add a review, the font is so very tiny.  I can (and do) increase the entire page using Crtl-plus (or Ctrl and mouse wheel), and this works well, but it also increases the ENTIRE page and doesn't change the contrast.  I found a script that removes all color information from a web page and that helps, because test in a blue only slightly darker than background is really a strain for me.

Sol:

20 years as an enlisted Navy man starting from 1961 and retiring in 1980. Had 5 tours in Vietnam. What can I help with?

I've had the thought several times that perhaps the blanket email notifications should be cut off.  What could replace them would be a checkbox on each of your connections that was labeled: "Allow email notifications from this connection".  If you read a posting from someone who isn't on your connections and didn't particularly like the posting, but wanted to see more, then connect but don't check the box.  However, if you did like it, then make the connection and add the tick in the box.

I've just read it also, Tonya.  Fantastic piece of work.

Welcome to TNBW, Tonya.

Loads of very good authors on this site. Just jump in and read a few chapters that interest you.  I started on short stories by reading what others said in their reviews as guidance. Once you get a few reviews done, it'll come much easier.

Sol:

How much longer will the free group be present?  I also have a novel that is nearing completion (6 more chapters), and I have absolutely no chance to amass enough points to start posting it in a point group.  i suppose I could tack on a parenthetic suffix to the title, but with only 6 more chapters to go, that's kind of pointless (no pun intended) in a 44-chapter novel.

A very good evening to you, JD. Just jump right in and have a ball.

I'll take a look at your first chapter.

Good evening, Sol:

When giving an in-line review, I highlight text, release the mouse, and almost always start to type. The GOTCHA is that the focus is NOT in the text box for the review - it is still 'out there, somewhere" on the web page and my browser receives the entered keys. Sometimes it just ignores them, but sometimes it can really mess up a web page or even take me completely OFF the site entirely.

Would it be possible to have the focus shift to the box opened for text?

~Tom

Hadn't though of that angle, Dirk.  And, you're right. The only way around that email problem would be to suppress the notification that "someone" has posted a new thread in "xxxxx" group, and that wouldn't be a good idea. I guess the most painless method would be to just let authors create a thread if they want to ask for input. And that has been available to us all along.

Title + (revised) is the option I'm going to take when I do mine.

My 0.02 worth.

That certainly is a load off my mind. I didn't want anyone to think I wasn't using the great suggestions that I've been receiving.

I tend to write in bursts of up to 5 or 6 chapters at one stand. I'm retired, so I haven't any restraints on my hours. I also hate to get into the cycle of posting something, fixing it, and then posting again. Like most others, I run the whole thing through until the end. Then I go back and institute the changes I've been taking note of throughout. Even if I don't hit the button.
