What has happened? I went to update my points and the edit etc function has disappeared, so I don’t know how to change my points.

I will look around, I don’t know. Try closing and reloading, etc.

Has it corrected? I am having no problems with edits.

No, it must be just me. It is the same on all my devices. I must have pushed some random button. I will try starting a new topic and see if that works

Perhaps it’s your browser?

I was wondering with the home page challenge, "Finish the 1001 list", why does it only count books read since 1996? Is that a Goodreads restriction?

Good question Rosemary but I don't have an answer for that one. Maybe one of the other admin will chime in.

I can only guess that it did not allow for it but I don't know either. It wasn't set up by any of us who are still here. I just post everything that was before 1996 as 1996.

I do recall that Jen (who set it up back then) mentioned about a limitation, that she couldn't put a date earlier than 1996. Of course, there were no such limitations for the future and she probably arbitrarily decided than 40 years was long enough for anyone to complete the challenge.

Hi Celia
Here you go

TY Diane. I had that link but when I looked at it, I think someone had a filter on. All the entries weren't there. I see them all now and have saved it to my computer.

I had a question about the spreadsheet too: what is the column 'r/tbr/w' for? is that Read/ToBeRead/?
Also, what is the Wilson score?

I am not an expert on the spreadsheet but I will try and answer. W is for wishlist book which is any book. that has not been reviewed on our group site. I don't see an r and t.b.r on the spreadsheet. On our group site t.b.r is to be read and is an annual challenge. And I am not sure what the Wilson score is, where did you see that?

I think these questions relate to a different version of the spreadsheet that I maintain for another group.

Yes, r/tbr/w means Read/To Be Read/Wishlist.

The Wilson score is based on Goodreads ratings. There is some explanation from the person who provided the numbers, here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

HI Harriet, you are correct. I should take that down. Let me see what I can do.
