When I'm trying to type I it sometimes comes up as IT .
Yes then I don't notice it until I already posted my comment, sorry for the confusion.
I would much rather have separate folders for each month's nominations. I do not like trying to decide when that month's nominations begin in the giant folder.
It might be beneficial to have separate folders for each month.

Is it not possible to have a poll for the voting?

Yes. That will be less confusing for most people. A separate thread for each month would be very good.
It sounds great, that gives us lots of time to get the books.
Hope everything turns out okay Jenni.
I have a question about hiding spoilers when posting in the threads. I have seen where others have done this on the book discussion threads for the monthly group reads but I have yet to figure out how to hide a portion of a comment. Can someone please tell me how to hide spoilers?
I have a question about hiding spoilers when posting in the threads. I have seen where others have done this on the book discussion threads for the monthly group reads but I have yet to figure out how to hide a portion of a comment. Can someone please tell me how to hide spoilers?Solution: (view spoiler)
To insert a “view spoiler” into your text type in the word spoiler between a greater-than sign and a less-than sign < > and then type your desired hidden text. When finished, type in the word /spoiler between the greater-than and less-than signs < > (note: now there is a forward-slash in front of the word).
Always do a preview to see what will show and what won't.
Explained a second way: Type the following that is in bold without the asterisks * present.
<*spoiler*>This is the text that will be hidden.<*/spoiler*>
Again, just don't put the * symbols between the greater than and less than signs.
Thank you, Leigh and Jenni, for the lesson on hiding spoilers. I appreciate your help!!

Woohoo!! We are just growing by leaps and bounds, we are!
1500 members!! That's great. I'm looking forward to the book recommendations :)
I'm still a little leary about facebook, I've heard so many bad things about it, and I must say some of it about me.

Can someone from overseas help me here??I'm reading a book that began in Ireland with an Irish lady moving to the US (NY) in the early 1900's!
Anywhoo...my question is that the author keeps writing about this guy who has gone flush and asks if he is flush very often and I don't understand the context of this! Normally on my kindle, I would just look it up, but it's an epub and doesn't have that feature! I was getting ready to look it up online and remember that a lot of you are from over seas and might understand what they mean!
That's what the bad thing is/well was, I hadn't connected with her, and had even blocked her and her entire family but they still infiltrated my personal barricade! And it was all so stupid and petty!Boy my grammar is way off tonight!

It sounds like she means "flush with cash."

I have to stick with Goodreads most of the time because I can't access Facebook from the computer I use most days.
I basically just go to the site to update the page, other wise I just stay here.
I have a question about Goodreads. A problem came up last night. The on site Goodreads search device would no longer pull up my book page using, the title, my name, or genre. It would only work with its amazon # B007IWI4DI. I still have my author's page and all. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I've contacted Goodreads last night no reply.

Thanks for responding. I have done what you suggested. The thing is that it was up and running on the search engine until it fell off yesterday. One can pull up the book only by using the amazon # B007IWI4DI. And I do have a book and author page in goodreads. It]s just difficult to get to it.
And don’t forget there are many books with the same exact title. and as far as I can tell there is no problem. The whole matter is odd and frustrating.

Thanks for your support. My book came back on search, twice, one with a cover and one without.
I don't think it is necessary but that is just my opinion. It seems like it would just be another access point for the same information.
Thought of something else. You could use it publish short stories by group members--say keep them to 1000 words or less. That is just a random number but you get the idea.

I'd like to help but I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do and I'm not very computer savvy.
I can give it a try Jenni. Actually with the wedding and my dad's health problems, I think I should pass for now, until things settle down a little in my life. Sorry.
Maybe a crest with a dagger, a mask, and fedora? I'm just throwing something out there.
Sounds good to me. Thank you Jac and Dave.8-)
I can't imagine anyone not being thrilled with it.
That is phenomenal and so quickly! Thank you so much Dave for taking care of us and giving us the best emblem around!
If someone is using "IT" differently, they need to explain.
