We'll keep this updated with some of the Frequently Asked Questions we get, so keep checking back to see if your question has already been answered!
Q: I'm not sure how or where to post... A: There are several ways to post, and all of them are easy! First, you can post a reply directly from the Group Home page. Just click on the post you want to reply to and add your comment!
However, the Group Home page only shows the most recent 5 topics for each category. To view the other posts, reply to, or start a new topic within a category, use the Discussions link located on the right side of the page under our header (1st column, 3rd row). From there, you can click on a category to reply or add to. To create a new thread within a category, there is a link at the top right that says "new topic". Click that, add a title, and type away!
Not sure what category your post falls under? No sweat. On the main Discussions page, click the link at the top right that says "new topic". In the dropdown menu to choose a category, don't choose any. It will default to a General category. From there, we, as moderators, can move it to its appropriate location or create a brand new one! *Note- we may change the title of your discussion in order to make it more clear to the rest of the members. We will also add a comment to the post about where we have moved it to, so you know where it ended up!
Q: How do I hide a spoiler in my post? A: It's very easy! Simply type "spoiler"--without the quotation marks-- in the middle of these guys < > before you start to spill the beans. When you're all done giving the juicy details, type "/spoiler"--again, no quotes-- inside < > at the very end of your last spoiler sentence. And tada! It's done! It will look like this-- (view spoiler)[I'm giving away the huge plot twist! Oh no! (hide spoiler)]
Q: How is the Book of the Month picked? A: At the beginning of each month, we will open a post up for suggestions of what to read the following month. Then somewhere near the middle of the month, we'll compile the list of suggestions and have a poll for all the members to vote on. Top vote getter will become our next pick and will be announced by the end of the month!
Q: I'm an author and I'd like to share my book with the members of the group. Is that okay? A: We have an Author Promotions section, so yes! As long as it is shared within the appropriate place and you do not spam, you're welcome to share.
