How to "Refresh" a Member's Total or Add a Comment to Their "view books" Screen:

We are using ♥Robin♥ on Atomic Tangerine for this example:



• Scroll down to your friends, who are listed first, or down futher to "community."
• Click on either the percent numbers or the words "view books" (red arrow)
• You can enter a comment on this screen (blue arrow), if you desire, or wait for the next one.



• On this screen you can see her total books jumped from 2 to 4.

• If you click on her name (blue arrow), it will hyperlink to her Profile page.

• Pink arrow shows comments by other members.



• If you hit the back arrow to go back to the community page, you'll see she is back to 2 books; just refresh the page.

• The Total goal for all participants may take anywhere from 15 - 30 minutes.

• The cache usually updates every night sometime after 9 p.m. PST.

Hi I just wanted to post that I was originally assigned to this team and then moved to Cadet Blue as a co-captain.

(I'll delete this if you need me to, just send me a message).

You all will be getting a "heavy hitter" - Dragana (250 books)! She will make up for the loss of Mary and Teresa.

Thanks Mary. I'd seen that you'd moved and I've adjusted the spreadsheet to reflect that. All the best in Cadet Blue.

Thanks, Zara!

Good luck in your new team :)

Woo Hoo Dragana. Welcome aboard. Let's have fun and win this thing.

Thanks for a warm welcome Maria Helena and Zara. :)

You're welcome.

Hi to all B'Dazzled Blue's ! Nice to meet you!

I'm a little confused with all those different groups and threads but I'll figure it out!

Hi everyone!!

Glad I'm not the only one getting confused by all the threads and groups and everything else going on!!

Yeah it took me a while to figure it out.

- Master Copy

New feature coming: link to member's "view books" screen. Blue font indicated there is a hyperlink, as member joined sucessfully; black indicated no hyperlink, as member has not yet done so.

Remember, you can hyperlink to member's Profile from that screen.

To you, with love...from Sonia.

I think we all are :)

One thing I figured out and corrected is my goal for the challenge, it's 150 now as it originally was for a year. I somehow missed the ending date being in April, 2014. Sry for the mess, captains.

It looks like it's going to take a whole year to reach the 1350 books per team.

Hi Skandia.

I've adjusted your goal in the spreadsheet. Thanks for letting us know.

Hello, hello, welcome team! I'm so glad to be a part of this awesome team (we're totally going to kick butt, right?).

The lovely Maria Heleana and I are currently working on getting a mini-challenge set up for us, which I'm sure will be a great motivator for us all. :D

Hi Aneeqah.

Yes we are going to kick butt. We have to win this competition.

I'm excitedly waiting to see what mini-challenges you and Maria come up with.

Go B'dazzled Blue team

Looks like we are already doing really good and looking forward to the mini-challenge.

Will the team's main chat be here or in the other group thread?

I think for the moment the team's main chat will be kept here. I don't know if the mods will move it over at some point.

Seconding on the fact that I think the main chat will be held here. I think it's just easier for everyone. =)

So I just finished up , and have started . It's strange for me to be able to get so much reading done during the week, but hey, I'm not complaining! ;)

Congratulations on reading yet another book Aneeqah. Good to know that you're able to read so much during the week at the moment.

I've finished and I should be finishing tonight.

Hello team!

We now have a challenge thread over in the sister-group and the first mini-challenge have been posted there. Let's get reading!

Yay I love challenges. :)

Don't they?? I was giddy when I saw them, heh.

READ-A-THON UPDATES

There are some misunderstanding about ALL the team members needed to participate to get points.

Well, they DON'T

If a team has 12 members and only 4 want to participate, that team can still earn all the points available.

We'll consider that team a team of FOUR elements to the Read-a-Thon only.

Anyone else wants to do the read-a-thon?

My goal will be 2000 pages.

I'm in for the read-a-thon. I think I'll go for 1000 pages. This should make about 3-4 books.

I'm interested, but since I'm going on mini road trip with my husband from 2nd until 6th may I am not sure I will be able to post updates or come and visit team/readathron page. I don't want to stop you from winning some extra points because maybe I will not be here to react in time. I'm not sure if I will have internet connection and if I will be able to post progress.
What do you think?

Dragana, I think you can give updates until 12th, so there should be no problems if you want to participate.

Skandia wrote: "Dragana, I think you can give updates until 12th, so there should be no problems if you want to participate."

Yes, I will be back for final update, just maybe I will go silent for a couple of days.
But if that's not a problem then I will think about the number of pages and let you all know tomorrow.

I don't think that is a problem.
