Thanks a bunch. That did it!

Heather, if you go to the group's main/home page you should see on the right hand side a line saying "you are a member of this group" and a link to edit your membership. Click on that link and then you should see near the top a section about how long you have been a member of the group and a link saying "leave group".

Hope that helps.

I have been trying to figure out how to leave a group I have joined (not this one). Any ideas?

Yea, navigating Goodreads was tough for me at first, too. I'm still trying to figure out how to look for certain authors Goodreads page.

To access the discussions, you first click on the link in the right sidebar that says Discussions. That will bring up a page with links to all of the folders, including Paranormal Romance, and will show the first two posts in that folder. If you click on the folder name, that will show you all of the posts in that folder.

I hope that answers your question!

i don't know to get lets say the paranormal romance folder how would i do tat im really confused

What's your question, Maggie? :)

hi i'm new here and i had a question on how to get to the folders cuz i'm really confused it's only my second day with goodreads and my frist with this group can anyone help me out plz

No worries. Thanks!

Sure, Yz, I'll do that now. Sorry I missed this post!

A special request to our dear Moderatrix.

Can you make the Monthly Challenges Leaderboard thread a sticky in the Monthly Challenges folder?

I would really appreciate it if you can.

Hey, everyone! Just a heads-up that I've updated the rules a bit. I added a request to check for existing topics before starting a new one, and to try to limit the use of netspeak and StIcKy CaPs (because I'm a curmudgeon, heh). Thanks!

Done!

Thanks...Can you transfer the current January Challenge thread under it, too?

Hi, Yz! I definitely don't mind setting up a folder for the challenge. I think it's a great idea, and I'm very glad that you're willing to run it. :)

Give me a few minutes and the folder will be ready!

Edit: Okay, I've created the folder. It's not showing up on the main discussions page yet simply because it doesn't have any topics yet. When you post a new topic, it should be in the drop-down menu. :)

Hi! I started a January reading challenge in the general discussion folder and so far it has been well-received. I ran a poll whether to take next month challenge in another group or stay here, and the winning response is to stay here.

Would I be overstepping my bounds if I request a folder for Monthly Reading Challenges or do you think I should just launch the Feb one under General discussion folder?

I've seen that also, Anita. I'd definitely report it in the Goodreads Feedback group.

Anita, I've seen that too. Are you in the Goodreads Feedback group? If you are, I would recommend posting that in the "bugs" folder. I think they would definitely want to know about it. Then other people could chime in if they're having the same problem too.

Never noticed, Anita. I'll keep my eyes open. I know that when you see the half arrows with letters in between, that the html. As for when I post links for what I'm reading now, it's GoodReads own link when you click on add book/author. *shrug*

I've got a question about hyperlinks and special formating (like italics) in posts. When they arrive in my mailbox as digests, anytime there's a hyperlink or html, it looks like gobbly gook and is extremely hard to read. I'm not sure if it's just me, or if everyone but the writers see it that way. An example of the gobbly gook effect was in Gina's 11/24 post of what she's reading now or mlady_rebecca's Kelly Armstrong post (same day). Anyone else having trouble with this?

Hi, Kenjii. Yes, you can promote your other groups in the Self-Promotions folder. :)

If you have other groups can you post them in the self-promo folder?

Hey, everyone! I'm T.D. Fangirl, the group's moderator. :) Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the group's rules before posting.

1. When you start a new topic, please choose the appropriate for it. So, if you're posting about a paranormal romance book or author, choose the Paranormal Romance group, or if you're discussing tv shows or movies in the genre, pick TV/Movies/Music. See below for a description of each folder. Also, check the folders to see if someone's already created a topic for what you want to post about! You can search using the box on the right sidebar.

2. If you're looking to promote your own books, blogs, or groups, please put these topics in the Self-Promotion group only. Self-promotion topics posted in other folders will be deleted. For more detailed rules on Self-Promotion, please read the sticky post below this one, or in the Self-Promotions Folder.

3. Please be sure your topic is appropriate to the group before posting it. Email forwards, urban legends, and chain letters are emphatically NOT appropriate and will be deleted.

4. Not that we've ever had a problem with this, but please be polite and respectful to other members. Anyone who flames will be removed from the group.

5. Please try to use proper grammar and spelling as often as possible. Some of us are curmudgeonly and get cranky when we have to try to read sTiCkY CaPs and netspeak.
