Their words, not mine :)

Should be working here now. Thanks to you all for your work on this one.

The Google Ads on here generate a little bit of income to help support the site and pay for the hosting. We get a few cents for every click. I sometimes click on them on other sites if the link looks interesting.

I don't think we've got an icon, so if somebody would like to make one for us, it would be fantastic.

I've not had that error before, but I'll do some digging around on the server.

Blogs are a kind of journal, so I think you'd tend to post your thoughts and ideas in it. You can set entries as private, or just make them visible to your buddy list or certain other members. Althought there is a comments feature for each blog entry, they're not meant for long discussions...

I'm still testing some of the blog features so if you spot any problems please send me a PM or email. Please also keep a backup of any long blog entries you post just in case there's a problem! Thanks.

There's now a facility for each member to create their own free blog here at Book & Reader. To get started, click on the "Blogging" drop down button in the navbar above and click the "Setup your own blog" button. There may be one or two small bugs, but if you have any problems using the...

And now you can have your own blog here at B&R too :) Check out the new option on the navbar at the top.

It does look interesting. I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I was kid. Looking at the extract from the book's website I can't tell if the book is meant to be serious or "tongue in cheek"? The "official" forums for the book are full of spam and porn links too :rolleyes:

Almost 40 countries will participate in the fourth edition of Safer Internet Day (SID) which this year takes place on 6 February. Full details are available on http://www.saferinternet.org Book & Reader has always prided itself in providing a fun, friendly environment for anyone who...

There is now a field in your user profile to enter your del.icio.us username. This will then show a small icon underneath your profiile when you post so that people can view your bookmarks. There is also a new link at the top of each thread page to add threads to your del.icio.us bookmarks list.

Which style are you using? The "Book & Reader Style" or the older "TBF Classic" style.

I don't think that addon was ever upgraded to work with vBulletin 3. I can have a look around to see if there are any alternative spellchecker addons for vBulletin.

This should be fixed now. It was a problem with the "TBF Classic" style.

Famous crime author, Jeffery Deaver, has kindly agreed to a short interview with us here at Book & Reader. I will be speaking to Jeff later this month, and will put forward a selection of questions from our members. Please post your questions here, and I will do my best. Thank you.

By popular request, we've created a new forum here for Mature Discussions. The sames site rules will apply for this forum, except we will allow discussions of more mature topics such as Politics and Religion. This new forum is slightly different to the other ones here. You will need to apply...

I've kept out of this so far, but I will say this now. I always knew that Stewart's appointment wouldn't be popular with everyone, but I do believe that he will do a good job and that he will be an asset to the site as we try to expand its audience and popularity and take it forward in its...

I stared to read Digital Fortress a while back, but gave up after the first chapter! I'd already read "The Da Vinici Code" and "Angles and Demons" (both of which I enjoyed as easy-reading fiction), but I found Digital Fortress a bit too much. The opening chapter is so similar in style to The...
