Getting around 카지노싸이트 can be daunting at first. This is the the link to the help page on 카지노싸이트. http://www.africa-eu.com/help

Here are some tips:

CHANGING FONT AND STYLE
Making text bold, italics, underline or strikethrough is easy.
I'm bold is <b>I'm bold</b>
I'm italics is <i>I'm italics</i>
I'm underlined is <u>I'm underlined</u>
And I'm strikethrough is <s>And I'm strikethrough</s>

ADDING AN AUTHOR OR BOOK LINK TO YOUR COMMENTS
To add a link to an author or book title or display a book cover in your comments, click on "add book/author" which is located just above the box you write your comments in. Once it's open you will see at the bottom you can choose "cover" instead of title if you prefer to display a picture of the book. Adding links instead of just typing the title will link this topic to the book's home page and increases the profile of the book and our group.

HOW TO ADD PHOTOS TO YOUR COMMENTS
Another popular question is how do I add photos to my posts. Google "photobucket" (there are many other sources but that's a good place to start). Select the photo you want and to the left you'll see a box that has the "html" text that will allow that photo to appear on other sites. Copy the text and paste it into your post. Preview your post and you will see that the picture appears, not the text.

WHY DO SOME COMMENTS BEGIN WITH PREVIOUS MESSAGES IN ITALICS?
If you want to respond to a particular message so it's clear that is what you're talking about then just click the word 'reply' at the bottom right of their message.

HOW TO CROSS OUT YOUR BOOK WHEN FINISHED
<s>put title in here</s>

ANOTHER WAY TO ADD AND ENLARGE AN IMAGE IN YOUR POST
In Firefox and Chrome, right click on the image you want to share, then click on 'copy image location'.

Then <img src="paste URL of image">

In Internet Explorer, right click-properties and copy image url. Then do the above.

HOW TO PUT ♥, ★ AND ☆ IN YOUR TEXT
For a heart type this: &hearts;
For a full star type this: &#9733;
For a blank star type this: &#9734;

HOW TO USE THE WORK-AROUND FOR RE-READS, UNTIL IT'S A FEATURE

Edit your book review, hit "advanced" and there's a field there for "number of times read". Keep track of your re-reads that way:) (Thanks Liam!)

HOW TO FIND YOUR NEW RELEASES PAGE

Go to your profile, then Emails tab. Toward the bottom is a list of "Newsletters and Other Mail" you can receive from GR. The 4th item is the "New Releases" email, and next to that is a "preview" link. Click on it.

Or just use this link: http://www.africa-eu.com/new_releases...

TIP: For those wanting to save all their books/reviews you can export to a .CSV file.

Go to "My Books". On the left side is a list of links. Click on "import/export". On the new page, upper right, is the link to export to a .CSV file.

TO CHECK FOR DUPLICATES ON YOUR SHELVES

Go to "My Books", then on the LHS where all your shelves are located, scroll down - and down - until you see under the tools section "find duplicates". Click on that and go from there...

IT'S EASY TO ADD A SHELF, BUT HOW DOES ONE DELETE A SHELF OR EDIT THE NAME OF A SHELF?

In the upper left of "My Books", to the right of 'bookshelves' is a link "Edit" which you can click and rename or delete shelves.

TO POST A BIGGER PICTURE OF YOUR BOOK COVER

Go to the book page and click on the cover pic to enlarge; then right click and go to copy image url, then go <@img src="paste URL of image"@> and remove the two @ symbols.

How to ENLARGE your cover pic

Click on the book cover, then 'enlarge'. Then right click on 'copy image address' and go to where you want to paste - < img src="PASTE LINK" > (without the spaces between < and img + " and >)

EDIT: With the new format, you possibly won't have the 'enlarge' option. Just right click on the cover, then 'copy image address' is the same :)

Getting the "big picture" on an iPad (Thanks to Catsalive (Kylie))

On ipad, after tapping enlarge cover on GR, press and hold image until menu appears, select copy, paste the copied link (press & hold until paste appears) into
< img src=*** >
replacing the asterisks & removing the space after < and before >

Carolyn | 9778 comments How to EXPORT your Library

You can export a copy of your library including reviews by going to MY BOOKS and clicking on the IMPORT and EXPORT link on the left at the bottom of the page under 'TOOLS'

Under EXPORT click on Export Books. 카지노싸이트 will then generate a file which will appear as a link for you to download. This may take a few minutes if your library is large.

The file will be in a .csv format which can then be imported into Excel and converted to an .xls format to separate your data into columns by choosing 'delimited' as the type of data and choosing tabs and commas as the delimiters (this worked for a Mac - hopefully also for a PC).
