I would never have expected it, but we now have so many titles in our list of in-house book releases, that the thread has reached its character-count limit.

See here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This is awkward. I suppose it is all the invisible HTML formatting which I deploy to make it pretty.

Anyway, hmmmph. As a first move, I'm forced to

1) trim down all lengthy titles so as to have room for other upcoming new releases. (If you see a title and it seems 'truncated', this is why).

2) I could make TWO threads, (A & B) but that would look a little lame. (The thread is supposed to be a 'one-stop shop').

3) As a very last resort, I would have to go through and crop away all the 'new releases' which aren't so 'new' anymore. Some of our authors go a long time between publications.

Of course, maybe I'm the only one who even monitors this thread at all; but still. A thing's gotta be done right, or not at all.

Oh well. I will figure something out.

Thank you for all work - I appreciate it very much and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Aye. thanks Paul. The task is going to be so intricate if and when I ever get around to it...I've been putting it off as long as possible.

Had no idea I'd ever reach the character-count limit in a simple list of titles and names.

It sucks what GR did to their site design which now de-emphasizes reader's groups like this. These months of low-activity are not attributable to anything we're doing or anything in the genre itself. Its that the whole website is now designed for 'skimming'.
