Why is posting so hard!

Superphil · 02-09-2024, 04:55 PM

I must say that I do not post ebooks often here. And everything I forget how to do it and when I do it I am never sure it will be posted! Why nit have an area that is clearly marked or a big red button showing what to do? Am I the only one frustrated by the mechanics of posting epubs here?

Go to the ePub Books sub-forum
Click on New Thread
Enter the information you want as the body of the message
Use the paperclip icon or the Manage Attachments button to attach your ePub

Yes, thank-you. That is not the point of my comment. What not something more simple? More intuitive? Maybe it's me....

It's not more difficult to post here then any other forum I've used.

It is really the mechanics of posting ebooks that I find clunky.

Adding an ebook to the library is no different from posting any other message. Just replace the random image or other supported filetype in the Attachments dialog with the ebook.

Looking at your recent post in the ePub Books sub-forum, it would appear that you did not attach the epub file though you should be able to edit your message and go into advanced mode to add that attachment.

One quick question: is this a combination of the two volumes from Gutenberg?

It was the two volumes into one. Will try to fix this.Thanks.

Good luck and let us know if you still have any issues.

I still do not see if I attached my epub to it. This epub is really Georg Forster's views on the trip, different from the views of Cook

Will try again

Superphil · 02-10-2024, 04:35 PM

I tried again, I attached the file and it still does not appear!

Okay it is done. Not amused at how convoluted the process of posting is here. A plot to prevent people from posting more books? Only joking here but seriously bummed out at the process. Why a different page for the attachments? Crazy...

Good. Now please take a look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36438 and modify the title of your post accordingly (the one with the book, not this one).
