How Do I...? Tips and Tricks

[Book Concierge]

Here's a place we can help one another learn to navigate this new site.

For example:
Did you know that you can insert a link to a book or a cover easily into your reviews? Above the comment box in which you are typing you'll see add book/author
Click that link and a pop-up menu will appear. Type in the title of the book you want. If it's a common title you may have to choose the correct book. You can also click the other editions link under the ADD button to expand the editions of the book - especially helpful if you are looking for a particular cover image.
Click the large ADD button next to the edition you want and you get (for example):
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

If you want to add a COVER image ... on the same pop-up box, at the very bottom
ADD: O link O cover
It automatically defaults to "link" ... but if you click the cover box before you hit the ADD button you'll get:


If you have questions about how to do something, ask away.

Goodreads is rolling out an “enhanced” service that really isn’t … Now, after you’ve marked a book as “read” you’ll get an annoying email letting you know all the ways to can further interact with others about this book.
For directions on how to opt out go to this thread.

NOTE: this is a serial roll-out. They’re starting with just 5% of the members. You won’t be able to opt out until you receive that first email.

Looking for an "older" thread? We do not have an ARCHIVES folder in this group.

We have our front page set to display a maximum of only 5 of the topics in each folder.

However, to the RIGHT of each folder title you'll see something along the lines of 5 of 90 topics - 2180 comments Click on that and you'll get an expanded view of ALL the posts in that folder. You may have to scroll to the bottom and go to a second (or third) page to find what you're looking for.
