Any Questions?

[Roseanne]

oh good thought. I am not even sure which device i was on when it happened. I am going to have to pay attention next time. I seem to have the most trouble with the android app on my kindle.

[Jenny, Certified Bookworm]

I usualy use the android app for my phone, if that helps you at all.

[Roseanne]

I have too many devices. I am going to try and figure out which is the problem.

Roseanne-
This issue has come up in the Goodreads Feedback group several times. Lots of people are having trouble updating since the reread option was added. The response has been that they are working on it so fingers crossed.

[Roseanne]

Really? Hopefully they fix it soon. Thanks Renee

How do you easily do I find my own posts. I have a post which is a list I am adding to as I finish books - I struggle to find it. Can you advise please,

Thank you"

Hi Sarah, if you click on the date/time stamp of your post you can bookmark that url.

I bookmark mine - so that I can go automatically to all my challenges one by one.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

That's what I do as well. :)

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Well, actually I create a link on the homepage of my phone, which is basically the same thing.

Are there badges for every challenge? Where can I find the badges? Where do I get the html for the general Goodreads 2018 reading challenge? Thank you

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

We were doing badges a couple of years ago, but we are not currently creating new ones the challenges.

On the webpage, in the upper right hand side, you click on your profile picture and then select Reading Challenge.

I can see it, but not copy it to repost on my blog. :(

Laura, it's under Edit Profile > Widgets, near the bottom.

Hello there,

It would be helpful to know, when will the

Personal Challenges - 2019

be up ? Thanks

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

We will do much of the set up for 2019 at yet end of December. :)

[Allison, Quest Hound]

I went ahead and added the new personal challenge folder so people can get started with general goals if they like. It's here: Personal Challenges - 2019.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Okay, Great!

[Anisha Inkspill]

brill!! thanks Renee & Allison

[Tonya]

I've been looking through some of the threads & have noticed lists in the challenges that people have updated does anyone know how you do that I'm not seeing a way to edit a comment I don't want to comment every time I finish a book that's part of a challenge if it's ment to be one comment only TIA

[Tonya]

nevermind I figured it out I can't do it on my phone only on a laptop I'm finding there's alot I can't do in the app or on my phone sorry I'm new to this

[Susy]

Yes, the app is VERY limited unfortunately :((

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

The only way to do certain things on your phone is to open the browser. I use the Safari app and go to the GR website from there. It’s a small screen to work with but sometimes I’m desperate.

[Tonya]

Susy I'm starting to see that lol

Renee M on my browser it looks just like the app so still can't do alot of things but I'm just gonna jump on my Mom's laptop when I need to edit things it'll be annoying but it will have to do lol

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

You might be able to scroll all the way down to the bottom and look for “Go to Website” or wording like that. It’s what I have to do with Audible to get around the app formatting.

[Tonya]

Renee M thank you I'll give it a try :)

[Sofia]

Hi :) Will you be doing the rainbow challenge this year? It was really fun last year.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Absolutely! Thanks for the reminder!

[Sofia]

Looking forward to it!

[Roseanne]

Recently I have had this problem with my books jumping from my currently reading shelf to my read shelf. I keep deleting the book and readding it to by currently reading shelf only to have it jump to my read shelf again. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Are you saving the changes? Depending on the way you are accessing the GR site, you may have to actually click “save” to make the changes you wish.

[Roseanne]

I’m not even sure what I am doing. I am not even trying to do anything with the book. It’s just moved when I go back in.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Hmmm. I’m not sure how to help you but I found this link:
https://help.goodreads.com/s/

Hope it helps. :)

[Roseanne]

Oh wow. Thanks for the link. I didn’t even know that existed.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

You’re welcome. Good Luck!

[Roseanne]

Thanks for your help Renee. Turns out it is my kindle that is doing it.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Thanks for the update. It’s great to know the mystery was finally solved!

Hi folks,

A quick question about the Reading Challenge; do abandoned books count? There are a few books I've tried to read this year that i just couldn't get into but because I put start/end dates in they appear on my Challenge page. So...do abandoned books count and if not is there a way of removing them from your Challenge list without deleting it completely?

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

I am not sure if that is possible, but maybe some one else will know.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Joe-
If you scroll back a few messages there is a link to a Goodreads question section. We don’t have anything to do with how the site is set up. Hopefully, you will find what you need there.

[Roseanne]

If I don’t like a book I don’t finish it. But I do like to keep track of them so I set up a shelf for it. If you remove the finish date it will take it off your challenge.

[Miranda]

When do we, or can we rather start posting our challenge thread for 2020??

[Akanksha]

Hi. How do we delete a personal thread? I guess I created 3 in place of 1.

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

Akanksha, I will delete the extra threads for you.

[Akanksha]

Thanks Rosemarie 🤗

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

You're welcome.

So glad you asked I was just gonna ask the same thing. I do my daily walks on my days off and I listen to books as I'm doing that. Makes the exercise go so much quicker!
