I am trying on my computer but when I press the tab with M-Z the list that comes up with choices only shows options like Delete, Copy, Change Colour and Move to Left or Right. I can't add anything.

It sounds like you ..."Yes, I did click on the little arrow since nothing happened at first when I made a regular click. Finally I managed to write my name but it's still difficult to add books since the squares grows and covers multiple columns when I write something in them. Or will they automatically "shrink" when I'm done?
Can you see my name Nike? Written with yellow letters on a purple-pink background. The first book I've added on prompt 1 is spread over several columns and I can't delete it.

Emily wrote: "They shrink back when you're finished! It only grows to let you see what you've written."Yes, that actually worked for the other books but not for book number 1 - can you help me fix it? It's all over the place and I can't delete it. It worked fine with the other two titles but something went wrong with the first. I'm sorry to trouble you but I have never had the reason to use Excel once I learned it when I was young. Does it look the same for you as for me? It's somehow dragged out over the columns.

Yes, thanks to Steve also, there must have been a space or something that didn't delete. 15 is correct.
Emily wrote: "Done! Should be fixed now!"Yes! Thankyou so much =)
Is there a project this year for the around the world countries thing like the past few years? or has it been scrapped?
Mod
How does that reject column work in the community spreadsheet?

Are there any rules for the ATY Challenge in regard to book length? I found a good book by Dickens that fills a prompt but it was rather short.

The read-a-thons do require books to be at least 100 pages and some seasonal challenges have a minimum page rule.

So my favourite unsuccessful prompt was a two part multi week prompt so would it be acceptable for me to: Read two books for the unsuccessful suggestions prompt and delete another prompt and count the extra book as an equivalent to a Wild Card read?

Yes, that's fine.
According to the polls, the next read-a-thon is supposed to start in 2 days. Is that actually happening?

It will be the second choice option, next week!"No problem. I figure as you and the other mods are the ones doing the work, your votes as to when to have the read-a-thon should count the most. 😁 When I had voted, the second option was in the lead, but when I checked to see the results yesterday, I was surprised. And this way I have time to do a library run for short books.
Hi mods, I tried to search the forums for this info but couldn't find any, so my apologies if the question is answered elsewhere and I simply couldn't find it ...I was wondering if we're going to have a summer reading challenge this year, and if so, shouldn't it start in June ...? And if not, are there any other similar sub-challenges you would recommend?
Mod
Emily wrote: "We will have a summer reading challenge that will be posted either today or tomorrow! Our Summer Reading Challenge also comes with a chance to choose one prompt on our 2023 ATY list, so we are work..."Can't wait :) Looking forward to it, and thank you so much for all your great work in and for this group <3
Where a task requires something to appear in the title, will it count if the word appears in the subtitle? I'm a frequent reader of nonfiction and have found some groups count it and some don't.
Mod
Is there a completion thread for the 2022 ATY challenge? I searched but could not find it.

Hi Guys,Every time I come back to the spreadsheet, I have to start again because my column has disappeared. I can’t see what I’m possibly doing wrong. Could you please enlighten me, if possible. I have noted that my name is my first name this time in case that is the issue.
Appreciate your assistance in not having to type everything out again and again,
Charlston
Charlston - sometimes other people’s columns are added or deleted, so if you are looking for your name in say “column T” and it’s not there, it might have moved to “column R” because 2 people deleted or moved their columns that had been before yours. Mine has been in at least 3 different columns. Have you done a control+F type search for your name?
Mod
What is the name of the program for making those wonderful challenge titles?
Mod
I think maja means the AtY graphics, maybe if there is a particular software or app for designing those?
Mod
Is there a thread dedicated to looking for buddy reads here?
Mod
But it isn't very active. You could also just post on our Discussion thread to see if anyone is interested: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I did a really silly thing tonight and deleted all of my previous URL info (2016 - 2019) from my profile page, attempting to add in a 2023 URL, which is no longer allowed by GR. While it doesn't affect anything now, when the polls are posted midyear, how will I add in my info to allow me to vote? Or should I just use the "https://..." URL that appears in my general browser? Thanks for your help.

While it doesn't ..."
Stacy, just copy and paste the url of your profile page: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5...

Thanks so much, Jackie. Hope I remember this come June/July!
I posted under the 2023 list thread but when I go to click on the suggestions that didn't make the list link an error message pops up.

This list and the 2023 listopia's page will get moved to a more convenient location in the new year.
Around what time will the Winter RC be up? (asking cause I'm setting up my journal for December and 2023)
Mod
Emily wrote: "Ah sorry about that! I'll be posting it today." nooo don't apologise, i'm just looking for an idea of what time it will be up so i can arrange my planning and stuff!! take your time!!
Do we have a printable or pdf design for this year yet?

You should be good to go now. I just “cleared” all your blank cells and it went from 17 to 15. What likely happened is that you had an extra space before or after the original entry that didn’t get removed when you copied them to their new spots. Or did you original remove the contents of the cell by hitting the space bar in its space? Even though it’s “invisible” to our eyes, Google Sheets still counts that as a filled square because there’s SOMETHING in it.
