Scott and the rest of the moderating team have come up with a feature in which a "New Reviews" link would be displayed at the top of the page, similar to the "New Posts" feature. This means that the reviews are separate from the rest of the forum threads, which would save users time searching for them. It also means that all reviews are getting the same amount of exposure and no kind of "cliques" develop. I personally prefer this method.

Because that is the book the author paid to have reviewed. They likely have already gone through the process with the previous books in the series and don't need help with the old ones.Barbara Vargo wrote: ↑27 Feb 2019, 00:38 When offering a book from a series, why are you posting a book from the middle of the series, as you did with "The Noble Mercenary".

I am an avatar junky. I change my avatar so much, people have failed to recognize me before.Clorinda Donovan wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 16:15 Thank goodness the suggestions first made for this topic never came to fruition. For heaven's sake are not the email updates enough?! Please no more notifications, of any kind. My only request would be that we have more avatar options. Please don't laugh everyone.
Needless to say, no way I'd be laughing at anyone but myself.
Anyway, you can submit an avatar, either by using a URL to an online picture that works, or by uploading from your computer.
What is grief, if not love persevering?

Do you mean on Bookshelves?Jennz123 wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 00:58 Could we have a section on the author page to list the different series and the plot reading order (as opposed to the publication order) as this subject doesn’t seem appropriate for the author bio or book blurb and it would make more sense for the book related information to be on the author page as opposed to being lost in the masses of forum topics...
If so, it was added to the list of things to be done.
