Ranters and Reviewers discussion

Experiencing technical difficulties with Goodreads? Make a post here and hopefully, someone will help you or you'll be frustrated in good company.

You can also post cool features you'd like to see on Goodreads here, though there's little chance of it ever being seen by admins. Still, though, if you like bouncing ideas off each other, this is the place.

Does anyone else have this problem where your friend's reviews don't show up under a book page? I can see that they added the book, but I can't see their review (or even their rating).

Yeah, me too.

Ugh yes that happens to me.

Me as well.

That happened to me about a week ago and then it went back to normal.

Only for certain books. It's weird.

SAME. Sometimes community reviews don't show up on my phone, either. It's annoying

WTF IS THE COMMENT LIMIT"

When you comment too much GR doesn't let you comment anymore for a while. It keeps telling you to try again later.

BookDuck | Maddie wrote: "I never hit the comment limit but I’ve hit the like limit"

The like limit?? What's that?

Also, you've never hit the comment limit?

Luckyyyy

Oh. I didn't even know there was a like limit.
Hmm...

THERE'S A COMMENT LIMIT?!

Yes...

I've never hit the like limit, but that's honestly terrible. there should be no limit to the reviews I can spread love for

Annie (Sad Water Bottle) wrote: "THERE'S A COMMENT LIMIT?!"

I've hit the comment limit exactly 16 times and counting.

I used to hit the comment limit multiple times per day and I would have to sit and wait for an hour for it to go away. I'm on a temporary Goodreads social hiatus, so that hasn't happened recently, however.

YES CYRUS.

ofc you have.

I’ve never hit any limits but I’ve had really strange glitches

I can see why there would be a comment limit (spam) but a like limit? That's really strange.

me too. I'd be scared if I got a comment limit.

Annie (Sad Water Bottle) wrote: "I can see why there would be a comment limit (spam) but a like limit? That's really strange."

yea. maybe it's just too many comments overriding their system, so they automatically restrict you from posting anymore for a specific period of time.

NOT AGAIN

UGH THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME

Lately Glitchreads has decided that I've read almost everything in all of my groups. So when I go to my group discussions page, it will say some topic in a group was updated, say, five minutes ago. But it won't show the red new comments button like it usually does, even though I know I haven't read what was last posted in that group. Does that make any sense?

That sounds pretty annoying. Do you not get notifications?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME EXCEPT I WAS TOO LAZY TO TYPE IT OUT LMAO

For me, it constantly displays things I've already read as "new" messages. It's not as annoying as that sounds.

Yeah same

That’s been happening to me too.

So some people have no "new" messages when they haven't read them, but others have "new" messages that they have already read. Very interesting.

That especially happens in TMR with AspiringAuthor's Nook for some reason. There are always five unread messages and it's so TRIGGERING

My nook always says "25 new messages" or something like that so I usually just subtract 25 from whatever number it says to get the actual number of new messages
