Goodreads finally fixed being able to use links outside of the site as lots of members complained about it because of not being able to use links in groups, etc. They fixed that about a week or so ago. Another change though is when you go to friend someone Goodreads took away the comment box where you could leave a note to the person you were friending so they would know who you are and why you were friending them. The last time I friended someone which was a few days ago I noticed the box was gone.
Mod
Goodreads made a default change to every person's account, and if you would like to continue receiving messages from groups (such as our monthly newsletter), as well as notifications from the mods, you must go change your setting.
On the desktop:
Click your picture on the top right of the toolbar, then go to Account Settings. From there, click the Settings tab.
Scroll a bit down, and you will see this setting:
Who Can Send Me Private Messages:
anyone just my friends
Change it to "anyone".
Without doing this many people won't get newsletters or maybe notifications if they won a prize.
A possibly bigger issue is that some people found they can't link any outside sites in any way, not sure if this is temporary
