I was thinking of discussing a particular essay (from a book), so it won't go under genres. Where can I temporarily discuss it until a decision is reached and a proper location is decided upon? I'm also open to refraining from posting threads that are not yet classified, until everything is set and decided upon.. :)
Go ahead and create ur threads, put them in off-beat folder, we'll move them around later
Any way of uploading songs? Don't have a link for it, and it's a rare version of the song that I want to share...
Haven't managed my shelves before, and am not able to navigate through them. Is it possible to have the same book on my read/to-read shelf and another shelf I created (feminist cyberpunk) as well? If yes, how? I created the new shelf, but how do I place the books there?
For books that I already read, I can place them in any additional shelves I want using "add/edit review". Never tried for the to-read books though, lemme check
All the books I want to place are in my to-read shelf. If you figure out a way, or if you realize there's no way, please let me know. Thanks :)
Sorry to interrupt, but yes, you can add books in the "to-read" shelf to other ones =)
First, how many shelves do you have as 'exclusive'?
None. I just went to MY BOOKS tab, added a shelf from the options left hand-side, then got stuck. Let me know from the beginning, if you can, how to do it all.
Okay, gimme a minute, I'll screenshot all steps for you :)
You said you just added a new shelf here right?:
********
Then scroll up and do you see this:
[image error]
Click on "edit"
********
You'll see something like this with your shelves:
The ticked options may vary, now see which are marked as 'exclusive'. The three primary shelves, i.e.: To-Read, Read and Currently-Reading are exclusive by default, you can't change that. The books can be in either of the three. But other shelves that are NOT exclusive can be in other shelves as-well. So seeing that you've added, "feminist cyberpunk"? mark that out of exclusive. You may be able to add it in both the 'to-read' and the new shelf.
***********
That's it...tell me if it works.
Done, thanks a lot. The screenshots were a great help.
You're most welcome =)
Any way to remove a book from my currently-reading shelf and place it on to either a new shelf or at least on the to-read shelf?GOT IT.
Yups, you can. Can you see the "shelves" like this:
Click on 'edit'
You'll see this:
Then you can choose the desired shelf =)

Is there a way to make 3 of my bookshelves exclusive to each other without affecting the READ, READING and TO-READ shelves?e.g. I want a book to belong to either A, B or C shelf, all mutually exclusive, but in a way that will not affect whether they are in the read/to-read or reading shelves. In short, I want 2 pairs of mutually exclusive shelves. One is my custom-made set of shelves A, B and C, other is the standard one by goodreads, but these 2 set of shelves should not be exclusive to each other.
Any suggestions???

Mark the A,B, and C as exclusive... Like I've made a "looks-interesting" shelf for books that I won't add under "to-read" because I'm not sure if I want to read it but it had piqued my interest.
No, no... I want to keep it under A, but I also want it in either read, to-read or currently reading as well. Marking them exclusive would mean that it will come only under a, b, c, read, to-read or reading. That's the problem.

Yeah, so don't make A,B and C exclusive... like I've made a yearly shelf as 2010, 2011 they are NOT exclusive etc...
But then, A, B and C won't be mutually exclusive to each other, isn't it? There are chances I might put them in all three or two of three when they are mutually incompatible but so near to each other in genre, I might end up adding them into more than one shelf.
Yeah, you can add them in more, what's the problem there? There are so many books that come under so many different genre too...
Well, I need to sort it that way, I don't want them mixed up. I guess there isn't a way. A book under history cannot come under historical fiction, and they are quite easy to goof up. So was just looking for an easier, more systematic way to keep them apart.
I added a title to my to-read list, now I don't think it's a good idea, want to remove it from my list. Any way to undo my action?
Remove completely?
Go to "My Books" tab, you can the whole list of the books. Now on the far right side, do you see an x? That's the delete button for books which you don't want in your list =)
Right... it was so obvious. Can't believe I missed it. Thanks :)
Don't mention it, I'd love to help :)
what's the format for putting spoilers?

Don't add the points before the word "spoiler"! I've added them only to let you see what to write.

Do others have a problem in opening GR with Chrome as a browser? Anything I click on GR redirects me to the Log-in page and despite logging in, it keeps on reloading the same log-in page. 15 mins later, everything goes on normally, and then again some time later, the issue shows up. Is it an issue with Chrome or a bug on GR?
I did a while back, but find I get solutions faster here :P

Oh, good. Hmmm, were you using an iPad while browsing chrome then? Because I have that problem at times...it logs me out...:/
Laptop. But its fine now, other users on the feedback group too shared this problem, so I simply changed my browser. Solved.
From the past 3-4 months, I haven't logged out of GR or gmail from my laptop, it just asks me to enter the password just once a day while checking PMs now... :)
Same here, but with Chrome not only did it ask me for pwds, it didn't log me in at all. Just kept on reloading the same log-in request page. I thought it might be a bug.
Maybe can never be sure, GR has lots of bugs... :/
Since the last hour, despite my profile settings to receive only a notification, all the notifications to the discussions that I'm following have automatically changed to Email, which usually happens when we enter a new discussion - since the setting has changed by itself, I don't receive a notification, nor do I receive a mail - has this been happening to others too?
This is occurring only in this group right now. For the other groups, there is no such error - I checked y profile settings again, they are in order, but the problem persists.
We are in the process of revamping, so please pour in all ur suggestions here, but it will take a while (sometime within the next few weeks) before u see us acting on any of them.
