Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Hi Paul, a technical issue. Or anyone really. I can only edit my book lists on dusty book challenge on the website. According to website my Margaret Atwood is read. I can read that is what it says on the website. It says MaddAddam, Margaret Atwood READ. When I go into app it just has the words MaddAddam. Margaret. No Atwood, no READ. Can this be amended by me or do I just accept I know what I’ve read and others will have to believe me? I have one book left which is a 6 week course so very important. Haha. Thanks to techies who understand why it doesn’t transfer across. More important how to change that so I finish the challenge in 5 weeks time!

A lot of the challenges only work on the web page and not the app, Pat. The app has been improved, but is still fairly hopeless


message 27: by Pat (new)

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Thanks. Just strange that my lists are updated on webpage perfectly and transferred to app perfectly. Until now. Never mind. I know what I'm reading. Thank you Paul

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Well done. Only just over a week and I’ve finished mine, it’s a six week course. Yippee. Thanks Paul

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Well done.


message 36: by Pat (new)

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Actually just noticed that either I forgot, it or thought I had done it and hadn’t but I finished this challenge a few weeks ago. No idea where I posted that. Oh well. Another one over the line, even if I’m a little late mentioning it.


message 37: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasondenness) | 1877 comments I saw you post it somewhere Pat, might have been in the other section for chat about the challenge.

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Thank goodness it wasn’t me!

Not sure yet, Anteq. I seem to be the only mod contributing at the moment and haven't had the time or energy in the later part of the year to do much

Oh, sorry to hear that, and thanks for keeping the group going! I for one enjoy the eclectic mix of reading going on here, so thank you :)
2020 was not a great year in my reading (or energy levels) either, so totally understand.

Paul (halfmanhalfbook) | 5463 comments Mod
Thank you for your understanding. I will see if I can come up with an idea


message 43: by Pat (new)

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments I’m stuck. Can anyone else help Paul out? If not what about recycling old one ( from the beginning).


message 44: by Pat (new)

Pat Morris-jones | 1373 comments Paul you take care. It’s more important than anything.
