Linda’s comments from the Challenge Yourself group.

My shelf names are not listed on my challenges, has anyone else noticed this??

It looks like we can open our challenge catalog now, but I have either put books on the wrong shelf or Goodreads have put them out of order - I will need to go in and correct mine. Has anyone else noticed this issue??? Maybe it is just me???

I like it as well

Ok, well, I really hope they get it working soon, I want to see how everyone is progressing on their challenges..... :)

very much so. I think they did an upgrade already, have either of you noticed the look of the groups home pages?? They are different, and I think that was done this week, or maybe last week......

On our home page, when you click on "more challenges" I am still getting an error, is anyone else having this issue?? It has been this way for me for several weeks. An error message does display that Goodreads is working on it - but I wonder if they really are, it seems like they should have had it working by now.

So Debra and Almeta, do you think these glitches are happening because of the Amazon thing??? It seems like we weren't having these problems before that happened. Just wondering.....

Me too, I don't know what the issue is..... Almeta can you help us???

The site seems to be going down at weird times as well - has anyone noticed, I wondered if it had something to do with the whole Amazon thing and Goodreads using some other source for our book covers.

I'm not sure about the exclusive shelves or non-exclusive shelves. I do want the books that I have shelved "To Read" to move to my Read shelf after I have read them, I don't want them to appear on both of those shelves, please see my note above, will this take care of that???

I really appreciate everyone's help!!

☺ Yeah, it was practically simultaneous. No problem though.

It looks as though you poked around before you responded. I w..."

Almeta & Cheryl,

I consider my "To Read" shelf as my TBR shelf. I think I know what the problem is by both of your explanations, tell me if this is correct. When I choose a book from my TBR (To Read) shelf, should I mark it there as currently reading, will that then move it from that shelf to the currently reading shelf and then to the read shelf after I finish??? I hope this makes sense...

So I guess I don't know how to do that. How do I manually move it - I thought I was doing that, but I'm not - I still have books on my TBR shelf that I have read, so now they are sitting on both shelves.

Thank you Almeta, I wonder why it doesn't - at this rate - there is no way to for our TBR shelf to shrink, it will just continue to get bigger and bigger - I think they should work on that.

Actually I have a question if anyone happens to know the answer. When I read books from my TBR shelf - will they move from that shelf to the Read shelf after I read it, and if so, how do I make this happen - because I don't think it is.

I do it right in my browser, I have a folder Books with a sub folder Goodreads and put all my important Goodreads bookmarks in there. Fir..."

sounds pretty cool - so I guess it makes it easier to find your challenges that way???

bookmark????....... how do you do that????

Thanks Almeta that is a useful tip, because I have many genre sub tag..."

That is a great idea Kevin - I put 2012 on my challenges - but I put it at the end - I don't know why I didn't think about putting it first!!! DUH!!

So, I was checking out the challenge list today - there are a few that I think I might want to take advantage of - I will mull it over in my mind and join a couple by this weekend.....
