The Lost Challenges discussion

I received this information from Barb in Crazy Challenge Connection.

From Barb:
In case anyone is wondering why they’re not receiving notifications, below is a message from GR (thanks to Emily for the info).


Hi everyone,

Goodreads has temporarily turned off email notifications, in-app notifications, and push notifications to your phone. These notifications include when you receive a new message from a Goodreads member, new friend additions, new followers, new group additions, and any other event, comment, or activity notifications you've signed up to receive in your Account Settings. We're working on bringing these back soon.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and will provide updates right here on Goodreads Help on when we’ll reinstate these notifications, so please check back for more information.

While you're waiting for GR to turn this back on, here's another, much more reliable way to find new posts. I've been using this method since the last time there was a glitch in the email notifications, and I'll never go back to relying on those emails. (Thanks to Book Concierge for telling me about this method!)


At the top of the group's main page, click on the little gray unread link :



In the window that opens, you'll see a list of all the threads in that group that have new posts and how many posts there are :



If you click directly on the red number, it will take you to the first new post in that thread. (I *right-click on the red number, so I don't have to keep going back to the list of unread posts.) When you've checked all the threads you want to check, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on mark all read, so those posts won't show up the next time you check for new posts.

I think the notifications are back!!

Woot Woot!
