Books2Movies Club discussion

Considering how large our group is now, maybe it would be nice to write down some tips and tricks you may use in your posts. Especially if you would one day like to lead a discussion to one of our books of month!

If you have some questions, freely ask. If on the other hand you know some other tips and tricks, freely share them with us!

Adding books and/or authors -- while for veterans this is well-known matter, it is not so for newbies as we all were once. To add a book or an author, just click on add book/author link that lies on the top of the comment box in which you write your posts. There you may search for the name (preferably ISBN) of the book or author you are interested to add afterwards in your comment.

Creating topics -- if you wish to create a topic in any of our discussions, click either on them or on the text on the right side of them, you know, where is written Showing x of x topics. There you'll get the full list of topics for that discussion folder, and on the top right side you'll see link for creating new topic. Easy, right?

Adding links -- just paste the link of desired site (for an example, for some article) in the quotation marks of this formatting tip (added from (some html is ok)).
< a href="xxxxxxxxx">my link text< /a>

P.S. If you are copying this tip directly, remember to remove spaces between < and a href and between < and /.

Adding posters -- this one is tricky. First you have to upload pictures somewhere on the net. I personally use postimage.org. I mean, you can use image that somebody else has already posted, but then you depend on that person not removing that image some time after. When you upload the picture, remember to copy the link to that image. Now, to add that image to your post, copy this formatting tip below:
< img src="xxxxxxxxx" width="40" height="100" alt="description" />

If copying this directly for your post, remove space between < and img, and between " and /.

Paste the link to the image inside these quotation marks and change width and height according to your wishes - you may preview your post as many times as you wish until you get what you want. Description isn't necessary, but it seems it is useful for poor-sighted users of GoodReads.
