⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Need some help with a part of Goodreads that isn't listed in any of the other threads? Here's the place for you to ask your questions and (hopefully) get some answers for your struggles with the Goodreads platform!


message 2: by Mirliz (new)

Mirliz | 98 comments Not exactly a ”help!” issue, but is there anyone who knows why Goodreads suddenly displays an underscore after the bookcover images when adding book covers to posts? It looked much neater before when there was just an empty space after.

Can you post an example? I haven't noticed this at all ...

Shelley | 369 comments HELP! I'm not sure what I did but,

I was trying to post to one of the discussions/challenges (Lost in Space). I touched something and now the pages display like the app, not the website page. I can only comment, not post. I cannot add a link for the author, book, etc. I've tried closing the page, signing back in, refreshing the page, etc.

In the lower right corner of your screen, there should be a link that says "Desktop Version". Click it, and you should get back to normal viewing!

Denise | 796 comments What is going on with the Scavenger Hunt - twice I have been unable to find the one I want to add found words to- there seems to be a lot of old Scavenger Hunts and its impossible to find all the new ones. Is there a way to keep the new ones at the top of the list? Thank you - I hate to ask but I love Scavenger Hunts and its just mixing things up


message 10: by Denise (new)

Denise | 796 comments the problem is I can't find the most recent one. But if I do find it, how do I mark it as important?

I went through and marked the most recent ones as important for you. There's three currently running, and they all have the little asterisk (*) by them.

If you click the "showing 5 of 9 topics link to the right of the folder name you'll get ALL the items in that folder.


message 16: by Shelley (new)

Shelley | 369 comments I'm am sooo sorry but I am having the same problem again. My son gave me a new kindle. The Goodreads app was already installed - mobile version. How do I get to the bottom of the page to switch to the desktop version. Updates\comments are listed and go on forever when I try scrolling to the bottom. What am I doing wrong?

Is anyone having problems adding a book or author to their post? When I click on the 'add book/author' and type in the title, it says "No books found", when I know that the book is here on Goodreads!

This issue is part of the general search bug that's going on right now that GR is working on fixing. If you have the ISBN of the book, then it will come up if you use that. Or sometimes just adding the author with the book title makes it appear, but not always (have only tested this last bit in the general search).

Thanks for letting me know, Melanie. I was worried that it was my computer :(


message 20: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (mvalente89) | 621 comments Nope, just a very annoying bug! I'm hoping it doesn't take forever to fix.

Denise | 796 comments I was trying to update challenges but couldn't get any of the books from add book/author - frustrating.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 2457 comments I wanted to send a PM but two of the mods I tried are not accepting messages....


Can the Scavenger Hunt "pinned" threads be looked at. The Nov/Dec 2022 thread is pinned while newer challenges are not.

Thanks

Hi Book Concierge -
I don't run those challenges but it's my understanding you can look at any challenge threads we have posted. I think sometimes moderators pin certain challenges to put them higher on the list for people to find. Each of the scavenger challenges has a stated time frame, but you can always keep working on challenges as long as you want - it's for your enjoyment!


message 27: by Denise (new)

Denise | 796 comments Where did the January Word Search go? I went to put the results of my January Word. Search under Monthly Challenges a couple days ago and it hasn't been there. Also where is the February Word Search gone - it hasn't been there either. Thanks in advance. Oh, I can't find Archives for Word Search either.

Denise, I took a look at the comments you've made here on The Challenge Factory. You've been participating in Deb's Scavenger Hunt. Here's a link to your post - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

When I'm feeling lazy and don't want to scroll to the challenge I want, I'll just click on 'My Group Comments', and that takes me to all the posts I've made. Shortcut!
