shall we have a would rather game? one asks a would you rather question and one who answers that gets chance to ask another question. that how it goes

Shall we do a slam?
I found it in Slammed by Colleen Hoover. You get to present a poem you wrote.

Naked truth...

can you make it so everyone in this group can choose which discussion they want to be on??? because I get maybe 50 notifications every day (I am on 2 other groups)

I think that it just automatically starts following any thread you comment on, but you should be able to fix that by going down to the bottom of a discussion thread (right above where you can write in a comment) and click "Edit" right next to where it says "you are following this discussion", then you can turn off notifications. I think you can also do that in your account settings but im not 100% sure on that one. Hope this helps! :)

I just did that so I will see what it does.
I just went to "Topics I'm Following" and it says
The garden of books - all topics within group

but cant the Mods change the settings on the group??

Oh perfect! Thats good to know!

I dont think so, i think its just individual. Although i could definitely be wrong lol😂

⊱Wren⊰ wrote: "but cant the Mods change the settings on the group??"

no, unfortunetly we can't. We only can change the settings for the notifications we take, as an idividual. Not for the whole group...

Can we please do a read a thon for everyone in this group pp?

Sure! I'll try to organise one soon!

Ok, so there are a lot of people who have joined but don't participate in the group. I was thinking that maybe you could make a topic or something so everyone who gets a notification for it and still wants to be a part of the group can just comment their name and everyone that doesn't comment their name can be deleted from the group. you might not like that idea but I just thought there isn't really any point in having, let's say, 300 members and only 200 of them actually participate in the group

well, I understand what you mean, but I think that people have the right to join groups, even if they after all aren't active. I, myself, am a member of some groups that I don't comment really often, cause I am really busy lately, but yet, I like being part of them, and join to their discussions, games and challenges when I have free time. If someone believes that they're not active at all, I think they can just unjoin.

Oh, true.

Psst, has the BOTM for March been decided yet? I'm curious!

Oh that's fun! *cheers* I might suggest some books if I think of any good ones. :)

hello, I have a question. How do we put spoiler tags and add pictures in reviews? I've been trying to find out but I can't seem to get it...

You can view how to add pictures in this video: https://youtu.be/tQ88G7aYsXQ (I found it really helpful)

And about the spoiler tag, you write:
< spoiler > whatever you want to write < / spoiler >

But without he spaces. I hope that helped :)

Thanks Dreamer!
