It's < b > text < /b > (without the spaces in the brakets)

Kari wrote: "Click where it says (some html is ok) on the top right of the writing box. All the format codes are there, including bold."

Just an information for better understanding why some people ask that kinds of questions:
Your solution only works in the browser version, mobile versions (apps) don't have this option (at least not those available in Germany, I used both OS and Android, so it's not a device issue). Apps lack some other basic options as well, e.g. adding book/author links, editing a message you posted or changing editions (one of them).

The way I phrased the rule was that folks just need to say which task they are reading for in a Selection Post.

It seems in the past some people get lazy or just don't communicate. They don't post anything until right before the deadline. The poor Captain is worried sick and gets frustrated because they never hear anything from that person.

The rule is just to make sure that people acknowledge that they've seen the survey and are focusing on a certain task. There's no problem with someone changing to a different task or book.

ok difficult question and i am probably going to royally fuck it up trying to ask it BUT
how do i get the link to one comment by itself and make it look pretty so that you click the words (example) 'msg 43' and it goes to the comment.....

I only know how to do this on the computer and here's how I do it...

To get the link to the comment, right click (or if on mac/computer without right click- control+click) on the time portion of the comment. Click copy link address (I can provide a screenshot if you need one)

Then for the code its

<*a href="LINK">TEXT<*/a> without the asterisks. Just plug the link you copied into the link part and add whatever text you want

Example

If you doing on a phone Prinzess, give us a shout...although pretty much same as amanda

Hi! Just checking, The Hulk and Incredible Hulk are not the same character?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Kari wrote: "Hi! Just checking, The Hulk and Incredible Hulk are not the same character?"

They probably are, but I wanted to give the top 10 answers to the survey, so I included both.

[Agnieszka]

Kari wrote: "Hi! Just checking, The Hulk and Incredible Hulk are not the same character?"

Thank you, just wanted to ask the same :-D

[Agnieszka]

A question to The Hulk - read a book where the author uses a pseudonym.
Would a book originally published by an author using a pseudonym count here as well (e.g. Jane Austen used A Lady, Louisa May Alcott used a male name, don't remember which one) or only current pen names?

YAY! Thank you.

Are the points awarded to each answer made up by a randomizer or are they from some actual list? In other words do I need to think of what the majority of a group of people would answer or do I choose as if the most popular answer is random and it’s the luck of the draw?
Did I make this question as clear as mud? 😆

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Yes, you need to think of what the majority of a group of people would answer. Here's the sample survey -

Name something specific that might make a blind date not go very well.
Answers:
Nothing in Common - 22
Body Odor - 18
Male shorter than Female - 14
Arrives Late - 13
Car Trouble/Accident - 8
Personality Clash - 8
Sloppy Attire - 7
Bad Breath - 4
Date is a Bore - 2
Ugly Date/Bad Looking - 2

So, 22 people said 'Nothing in Common', 18 people said 'Body Odor', and 14 said, 'Male Shorter than Female'. You are trying to decide which answers are the most popular.

Does that answer your question?

Anywhere in the state.

If we haven't heard from 2 people yet this week, should we go ahead and read a book in place of them?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

For money can you clarify what you mean by purchased. How does a paid subscription like KU fit in. Also books we got for free on Amazon purchased or not?

Team Dumas is in Similar Situation, but one of the missing is our Captain. So if she doesn't show up I am willing to be Captain. For reporting can I link to my scorekeeping tracking post which has the names of the team and links to completion post or list them all there on reporting thread?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Michelle's Empty Nest wrote: "If we haven't heard from 2 people yet this week, should we go ahead and read a book in place of them?"

Here's what the rules say: Family Size and Family Leave:
If your family (team) is smaller than the other families (teams), you can have a family member read an extra book each week. Also, for emergencies or arranged absences, an extra book can be read.

Unfortunately, that doesn't include team members that quit without letting us know :(

Hopefully you'll hear from them soon.

I will accept Kindle Unlimited or a similar paid subscription, but not freebies.

Hopefully Louise will turn up. If she doesn't, I really appreciate you being willing to be Captain. Thank you so much!

For reporting, I'd like you to follow the example I gave at the top of the Reporting thread. Honestly, it's a lot of work if I have to go to links to see what answer each person read for.

Not missing just unexpectedly inundated with work which resulted in Saturday night being the first time that I could log on to update everything. :)

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Just to clarify: the Time task - take 120 hours (5 days) or more to read a book - is to be interpreted as "at least 120 hours/5 days must pass between starting and finishing the book", not "must spend 120 hours actually engaged in reading"... right?

Oh, good to know. I got it wrong :-D

Potentially weird question but - uh. I've been reading translated webnovels a lot and some of them are there on goodreads but without an official page count. However, I can promise that the one I'm reading right now has more than enough pages, since it's got 300~ chapters and 900000+ words as per my e-reader.

Can I use it for the prompt? I understand if I can't but it would be very convenient since at the pace I'm reading the thing I might finish it before any of the others.

The book I have in mind is My Disciple Died Yet Again, if it helps.

I've thought about your question for a while, and I'm going to say 'no' unless you have some way to verify a page count. Maybe from Amazon, WorldCat, or possibly the author's website. Sorry.

[Sha]

No problem! I have other options, I just need to rearrange them.

^_^ Thanks for clarifying, Lanelle.

Bread - read a book written by an author mentioned on the How to Bake Bread reading challenge thread

I checked out the authors and noticed J.D. Robb is there, which is a pen name for Nora Roberts (who's not on the list) - would you accept books by both or only the one actually on the list?

1) For this next round would you like original or edition publication date? Or don't you care which one just that one fits?

2) If the book is part of a box, does it make a difference for you?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

I second question 1 above. How are you looking at date of book?

Agnieszka wrote: "1) For this next round would you like original or edition publication date? Or don't you care which one just that one fits?

The publication year needs to be of the edition you read.

I'm not sure about the box. I think there is usually a publication date for boxed editions. You'll have to check.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Judging by cover I have this edition of The Mating of Michael (2014) but kindle automatically updates but as far as I know it doesn' t update to new editions.. Which is here (2020). So is it good?
