TerryJane | 4365 comments CHANGES TO POSTING NEW TOPICS
Goodreads has quietly decreased members' ability to post new topics from three times per hour, down to one time per hour. If a new member, for example, posts in the Introduce Yourself thread, they must now wait an hour to create a topic for their goal in one of our Personal Challenge folders, and then wait yet another hour to create a topic for their Members Corner. If you try to create a new topic too soon, you will get a vague error message to try later.

CHANGES TO POSTING COMMENTS IN EXISTING THREADS
Goodreads appears to have limited users' comments to 10 per hour. This is not just within a specific group, but across the Goodreads platform. If you like to update challenges as you finish each book, and you have more than 10 challenges to update in your Members Corner, in our Reading Challenge Group, or across multiple Groups throughout Goodreads, this change will definitely affect you.

NOTE: We have not seen a Goodreads announcement about either of these changes, and have been unable to find an answer in Goodreads Help, so these are merely our observations as moderators.
