Jason (darkfiction) | 3204 comments A lot of people who join Fantasy Aficionados are new to Goodreads as well. I remember when I first tried to find my way around these groups. I was lost more often than not.

If you have any questions on how to create threads or do html, feel free to ask your questions here. We have a lot of experienced members, and if I don't answer your question, I'm certain that someone else will. :)

Happy reading!

Judy Olson | 49 comments I would like to know how to hide spoilers. I am usually picking up my email on my Android phone, can I do that from this device?


message 3: by Jason (new)

Jason (darkfiction) | 3204 comments You should be able to hide spoilers using your Android. I can, even though I hate doing it. LOL

Simply type:

< spoiler > write your spoiler here < / spoiler >

Write the above without the spaces. I only added the spaces so that it wouldn't do the hide spoiler thing on me. If your phone's keyboard doesn't have the < > bracket symbols, then I doubt you can do it.

You can also look up this code, among others, by looking at the top right of the dialogue box. At Just above the dialogue box, click on the pale green words that say (some html is ok).

If your cell phone doesn't have the < > bracket codes, then you can do it the old way by putting **SPOILER** at the top of your spoiler.

I hope that this helps. :)

Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1409 comments I have noticed that most can copy the quotes they are replying to. Is there a trick or are smart phones maybe not able to do this?

It looks like smart phones don't have this option, sorry.


Brenda ╰☆╮    (brnda) | 1409 comments Thanks MrsJoseph...thought so.

Okay. Thank you. Shortly as in this week?

carol.  | 2616 comments Shortly as in 'when we get to it.' ;) We usually send out a mass email. December has been pretty quiet in FA.

Ah. Okay.

Michael | 10 comments I haven't been the best about updating my fantasy challenge titles and now I can't seem to find the list. Can anyone provide a link? Thanks!

Which list? The top 100 or the top 20 UF?


message 16: by carol. , Senor Crabbypants (new)

carol.  | 2616 comments Michael, with the GR system, we can't save challenges or archive them. We checked in the feedback and mod group, and the person who created the challenges has left the company, so the project isn't very high priority.

The challenge ended some time ago, and I believe we put up a couple notes asking for input and letting people know the issue--it took up a ginormous space on our home page.

The list itself is still at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...

Thanks for the information!


message 18: by Reuben (new)

Reuben | 21 comments Is there a convenient way to add in a link to a book in the goodreads app? I.e., something better than searching for the book in a browser and copy/pasting the URL?I see link-ified titles but I'm not sure where they come from.


message 19: by carol. , Senor Crabbypants (new)

carol.  | 2616 comments I don't know if you are using the mobile app, Reuben, but when you reply to someone (or start a thread) the comment box has two links in color above it, on the right side. One says "add book/author" and the other says "some html is ok." When you select "add book/author" and look it up, it will insert the link into the comment.

Does that answer your question?


message 20: by Chris (new)

Chris Bogardus | 2 comments New to group too, already confused. How to find current topics of interest? Oh good lord, I better click off the E-mail me button. It seems goodreads is devoted to rating books for Amazon's sales-persons? How do I meet-up with fellow Orc-friends without getting tapped for data every 58 seconds. Oh dear!
