Thanks, Jan, that's a good idea about writing first in Word. Don't worry about deleting the star. Just go back to the book when you're finished and click the number of stars you want.
Thanks, Scout. I'm not really that worried about it because I know that this is one book that is getting more than one star - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Illuminating Diary of a Professional Lady - it has more than one star based on the introductory portions.

Hi ladies. It's probably too late now, but for next time, you can try this: if you "backpage", rather than "refresh, the page you were working on should come back. Then you can "select all" and copy it so you can paste it into a new message box, or even try saving directly.

If I remember correctly: you can go into "edit review" box and next to the stars is a button that says clear.
Hope that helps.

Hayes, does "backpage" mean hitting the back button? When the page froze, I didn't think I had that option. Maybe I did and just felt paralyzed by those spinning arrows.
That's what I meant scout, the back arrow, or whatever it's called. It usually works in chrome whenever I have had the problem. I haven't had to try using the phone and/or tablet, however. And I don't know anything about other browsers.
ETA: You could even try after refreshing, it might work.

Thanks for the hints, Hayes. I'll try them next time. (By the way, every time I post an online photo, I think of you. You give great instructions.)
Hi. When I rate a book, is there a way to do a .5, as in 3.5?
Hi Scout!
No, there isn't and GR has been asked repeatedly if there ever would be a half star possibility.
The answer has always been a firm No, never.
I usually put a 3.5* at the beginning of the review so that who ever is looking at it can see it first.

Thanks. That's what I do, too, so my friends reading the review will know. Oh, well. Maybe in the future.
I have a photo in my pictures folder on my computer that I want to post into a thread. Help, please!
Hi scout. You'll have to upload it somewhere first. A bucket site, google +, facebook might even work. I think I put instructions for that somewhere... Lemme go look. Be right back.

Thanks, Hayes. Which site do you use? Or maybe I should ask which is easiest to use.
Don't know which is easiest. Here in Europe the choices are different. In the us there are more. I have used google +, Dropbox, and bucketphoto I think it's called. I'll send you a pm later when I have turned on the computer.
Hi again, Scout. I use photobucket [dot] com and it's pretty good. Send me a message if you're still having trouble.
As Val said, you just have to 'edit' your review and you'll be able to change the stars..
Hayes, I'll give Photobucket a try. You're exceptional! I'll let you know what happens.
Hayes, what's the name of the group that you can go to for fixing glitches?
How do I write 1 letter and send it to all my friends. Right now, all I can do is rewrite the same post separately! Please help! Thanks!

I have friends that are no longer active or I unfortunately do not want as a friend anymore. How do I delete a friend?
Help please....For some stupid reason (like I was not concentrating on what I was doing) I have listed the wrong book in my currently reading list.....is there some way I can remove it without GR counting it as having been read?TY in anticipation 8:D
Just wanted to say thanks to Hayes for helping me a couple of years ago. I haven't forgotten your generosity.
The point is that I haven't read the book yet. I don't know how many starz it will eventually have. I was trying to find a way to delete the star that I clicked.
