The History Book Club discussion

Are you new and unfamiliar with Goodreads and how to accomplish what you want to be able to do? Are you getting notifications for EVERY post and from EVERY group? This thread should help you navigate Goodreads a bit better.

GROUPS

Let us say that you want to stop getting notifications for EVERY new post in a group?

This is what you have to do:

Under “my account” (click here ), go to the “emails” tab which is at the top. Click on it and it will take you to a new screen.

Near the bottom of the new emails account screen, you should be able to see a list of all of your groups under “Group Email Preferences. Click “none" on those that you do not want to receive notification on. See the next topic to choose to receive individual topics. On this page there is a wealth of control that you can exercise on what you receive and what you do not. Very easy and selective.



You can easily see that you have choices as to what you want to do and how you want to do it - you can get a digest, individual, all, notification and none and you can also in the same location decide which threads you want to follow and/or how you want to be notified everywhere. Great page for you to be able to find.

Finally before leaving the page make sure to click SAVE EMAIL SETTINGS otherwise once you leave the page it will revert back to what you had before.

Don't leave groups because you have not set up your email settings properly. This should help you learn how to do just that.

An excellent new folder for those who have GR questions. Thanks,Bentley.

You are welcome Jill

Hi.
I have a question (in fact more questions on the same subject):

What do you have to do do become a top reviewer, a best reviewer or a a top user? I see people with #42 best reviewer and #24 top reviewer.
Do you have to make many reviews and ratings in a given time? Do you have to have likes at your reviews? Or followers? Or the reviews must have a certain quality?
I think that writing at 10.000 books "a good book" and rating every single one of them 4 stars like a robot won't put you in the top category or the best category. Right?

Thank you.
Best.

Mary I am sorry that we did not see your note sooner but this is a goodreads question - contact goodreads support - they will be able to help you. We are not goodreads support but a group site on goodreads.
