Fantasy Book Club Series discussion

Just an FYI—if you usually rely on getting an email from Goodreads to notify you of activity you may be interested in, many of those emails have been eliminated.

Here is the post from Goodreads Help explaining the changes. They seem to think these changes are improvements…

Changes to Goodreads Notification Settings
We’ve simplified the way we notify you about activity on Goodreads. Within Account Settings, we’ve moved the notification settings to a new Notifications page.

Some notifications have been updated to only alert you on Goodreads and can no longer also be sent via email:
When one of your groups is about to start reading a book
When a Goodreads member answers your question for Goodreads Q&A
Reminding you to write a review for a Giveaway you’ve won
Requests to join your group.
Notification settings can only be modified on desktop and any changes you make will appear on the iOS or Android app. For steps to change or review the updated notification settings, see How do I edit my notification settings?

Their improvements leave a lot to be desired.

Another change is that I no longer receive the weekly emails detailing posts from the authors I'm following.

Some of their changes have made life more challenging for those of us who are moderators, like only being able to start a limited number of topic threads at a time. This is especially tough in more active groups where a lot of things happen at the beginning of each month.
