Reviews and Read Counts

[Nephylim]

Your thumbnail is weird.

To address the 'word' problem between microsoft word and the efiction software, on the paragraph section where you cut and paste the meat of your story you should be hitting a little clip board button with a w on the front of it. That brings up a screen that formats the msword stuff into usable/understandable tidbits of information for the efiction software and keeps your formatting the way you had it.

 

Now onto the rest of the conversation, sure, having reviews is nice, even better is when someone actually posts in the thread discussion area, but the best thing for me is when a completely new person drops in and pms me just to say they've read the story and like it. I like that because i'm more inclined to see the email, and I'm more inclined to respond; seeing as I don't always check the forums myself.

 

Attached is a picture of the button you should be hitting to cut and paste your msword story into the efiction area.

So not my fault.

Just to throw a few things in here:

1) don't worry about storage space at GA. We are on a dedicated server and have plenty of space.

2) As active as the forums are, believe it or not, it is only about 1/3 the visitors to GA. Most people do not come to the forums at all. People come here to read. sometimes they stay longer. sometimes they comment. most of the time, they just read.

3) The software replacement of eFiction that I'm currently designing will address a few of the issues mentioned in the posts above.

 

Thanks... I look forward to the updates. Apropos of reviews, I had an idea! [wow!] If the word 'review' was changed to 'comment' that might be less intimidating to people who dont feel qualified to write a review.

Thanks, Linxe. someone else told me about that, but it doesnt appear when I cut and paste. I've tried firefox, google and IE... but there must be something wrong with my satellite connection -- they're very temperamental.

 

Gaytron, I will heed your advice... thanks.:2hands:
