Hayley Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just a heads-up: the bookshelves function might need a little playing with! It's completely new to me too so I'm in the process of making sure it all works properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) I don't seem to be able to add books to my bookshelves. I click add books and nothing happens. I have found the like button, though so that's a plus Edited August 6, 2022 by lunababymoonchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Can we add categories to the book list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to actually do it yourself, I have to add them from the Admin CP, but if you tell me the category I'll add it for you . I just thought I'd start off with the categories which already exist on the forum's main page. Speaking of which, I will post instructions on how to use the bookshelves tomorrow!

lunababymoonchild Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Horror would be a good category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horror is on there alongside fantasy and science fiction (because that's the original grouping on the main forum page!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the books I read are "Literary Fiction" but that seems a little broad. Can't think of a better alternative though. Also, how do I get an ISBN?

Can't think of a better alternative though. Yeah I agree, it is tough to define genres so explicitly sometimes. Although I also agree that your books do seem to fit broadly into 'literary fiction' category. I thought about having a cross-genre category but I suspect that it might get a bit messy. 1 hour ago, Hux said: Also, how do I get an ISBN? As Raven said, there is a part about getting ISBN's in the instructions I posted earlier. Personally I think searching 'google books' + book title is the easiest way - because you can just copy and paste the ISBN then . 1 hour ago, lunababymoonchild said: So it is, sorry what a 🤡 I am 🤣 not at all - easy to miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEV67 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I struggle to get into this website. I can from my Android smartphone. I can't access the website from Firefox or Chrome on my PC, which is running Ubuntu Linux. I cannot access it from my laptop running Windows 10 using the Microsoft Edge browser. Since the latest update, I have occasionally been able to access this website from my PC, but usually the page stays blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the latest update, I have occasionally been able to access this website from my PC, but usually the page stays blank. That's really weird. I use the forum on Edge usually (from my laptop, running windows 10), from Chrome sometimes and from Safari on my phone - all of them have been faster since the update! I wonder whether clearing cache and cookies on your browsers might help? If it's the same after you've tried that I'll contact software support and see if they have any ideas.

KEV67 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I have been allowed on by my Firefox browser just now, but not my Chrome browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I access this site on both mac and windows computers and on my iphone using a combination of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge without issue so it may be a local issue rather than a site one.

KEV67 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I am still having problems. When I tried logging into the site from my PC again, I couldn't. I have just tried logging into the website using my work laptop, which runs Window 10, using the Microsoft Edge browser. I am in London. Still have a blank, white screen. Just tried to access the website using my work iPhone. Cannot access it that neither. I can only get access on my personal smartphone, which runs Android.

lunababymoonchild Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Not that this is going to help but I have full access to the site using Micorsoft Edge on my PC and Safari on my tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this Kev, that's really helpful. Putting in bookclubforum.co.uk should direct it to the community page, so I'll get that sorted as soon as possible.

willoyd Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Something i've just noticed. Previously I was able to add in code to change the font (I like to use Verdana). Adding the code as I previously did doesn't now work. Instead, though, an additional icon seems to have appeared to specifically allow coding to be added. However, I can't seem to make it work. Any guidance available please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to use Verdana font. The code I used to use was <font="verdana"> (I think square brackets used to work, but can't remember now!). I suspect that's now old hat, so have looked at using variants on <style="font-family:verdana"> using different combinations of brackets etc, as don't know how the <> button actually works - but none work. So I'm really trying to find out how <> works, and what I can do to change font if I want to (I'm tempted not to bother actually - the default is perfectly good enough, but am now curious!).
