What is a Members Challenge List?

[Starzee]

Special thanks to Barbara for bringing this up!

Under the Members Challenge Lists topic, create a thread for yourself as a way of keeping track of whatever challenges you are in. Label it with your name - E.g: Starzee's Challenges and in your thread post all of your challenges that you are taking part in.

This is not compulsary. It just might help you keep all your challenges straight lol.

Any questions post them here, and I'll get back to you ASAP. Otherwise, I hope this helps =D

Thanks again Barbara =D You're a life saver!

Thanks Starzee. That's exactly what I was talking about. I have so many challenges in so many groups that there just isn't any way to keep track of them all and lists like this really help.

I post every challenge I join on my challenge list so I find it quickly. I place a shortcut at the top of each post which brings me right back to the discussion post without having to search for it.

To do this, I open two tabs, open your new challenge list in one and the discussion for the challenge you're joining in the other so you can jump back and forth as you copy and paste the link. Start out on your challenge list and click on (some html is ok), the second item is LINK, copy everything after LINK: and paste it into your post.

The next step is to copy the web address of the challenge you are joining. In the LINK, you want to paste the new web address over the one that just says (www dot goodreads dot com).

Then you can change the "MY LINK TEXT" portion of the LINK address to the group and challenge name or whatever you'd like to identify each challenge.

The next step is to go to the second tab (the actual challenge page) and copy your post, then paste it into your new challenge list.

Wow that sounds more difficult than it is. It's really quite simple and once you do it once, it'll become second nature. If you need an idea of how this works, you can go to my challenge list you can see this in action. Just click one of the links and see what it does.

The other thing I did to make it simple for me to find my Member Challenge post is to place it on my profile page in the About Me section. You copy the LINK info just like above but paste it into you About Me section.

It's not really an issue yet with this group because it's just beginning but in other groups where there are 6+ pages of member lists, it becomes tedious trying to find your own.

Wow! Thanks so much for explaining all of that. I would have had no idea how to get the links up lol.
It's a great way to keep track =D

I honestly couldn't keep track without these links which I was fortunate to get another member to explain to me a while ago. Just too darn many challenges. :)

Glad I could help.

Question on the challenges:

Are these including books we have previously read or just books we have read since we started the challenge? Just curious.

[Starzee]

Well originally it was any books you've read since the beginning of 2011. But some members chose to start from when they started the challenge. So that choice is up to you. But no books from before 2011
