Technical help?

[Erin]

I'm not really a newbie so I should know this, but I thought I saw a post at one time that said there was a "technical area" on goodreads that walks you through how to post various links, etc -- but I can't find it. Help?

[Jane]

Would be of benefit to me too - so double help.

Hello! There is a link above the comment box that says, "some html is ok" and will bring up a pop-up with formatting tips if you click on it.

Thanks Dionisia- that type is SMALL ;0 but I was able to copy and paste so I will try and use this, and let you know if I have any more questions - really appreciate it -

here are the basic ones - just remove the ! from the code - you need to put the code at the beginning and end of what you want to bold, italize etc

bold text: at the beginning and !b> at the end
italic text: ...!i>
underline text: ...!u>
strike text: ...!s>
spoiler: ...!spoiler>

Thank you!

How do I find a list of the "top shelves"? Please do NOT just give me a link ... walk me through how to navigate the goodreads site to find it.

Thanks.

Are you asking how to find the Goodreads top shelves?

I would imagine that it would be found under the "Explore" tab at the top of the page... maybe under popular?

Not really sure about that.

[Dee]

I think they are called popular shelves now...

- Go to the top of the screen, where it says explore and click on the down arrow (that will expand the list)
- Click on popular
- on the right of the screen, there should be a link, that says popular shelves - click on that

[Dee]

go up to the top to where it says recommendations and click on that and it should help you

otherwise, start looking up books you have read/rate them - the more books you have rated, the more accurate your recommendations

[Dee]

I don't know about that - I think it automatically disappears after you have rated a certain number of books

[Lori, Super Mod]

Are you referring to the discussion tab on your goodreads home page? Or are you talking about the threads you can see when you are inside the group?

[Dee]

unfrotuantely that isn't something that can be done at this time; although people have asked GR for the option
