All books have 5 star member ratings…. or read the latest book reviews.
If you can’t say something nice… Of course not all of our members will get along all of the time, but that’s no reason to lament! You can tune out any “forum voice” that bothers you very easily, by clicking the Ignore this member link on the bottom of any forum post. This action will apply to every past and future post by that member. You can ignore as many people as you like; the member(s) won’t be alerted if you do this, and it is easy to undo if you have a change of heart later. Read about how the Ignore feature works by clicking the What’s New link at the very top of any page on the site.
It’s back…and better than before! The Similarity Index wasn’t functioning as smoothly as we wanted when we first launched it. So we retooled it and streamlined it, and now it’s working great. We even expanded it–now the Index works not just for Buddies, but for ANY member who has a viewable profile – you can see the % similarity whenever you look at a public profile. You can read more about this feature, why you might want to use it, how to use it, and what you can do to make it more accurate, by clicking the What’s New link at the very top of any page on the site.
Number the stars: Ever wondered how many ratings those stars under a book represent? Now you can see the number of members contributing to the club’s average star rating, shown right next to the stars! This tells you if a 5-star rating was one person’s opinion, or a consensus of dozens of people.
PBS Store News: The PBS Cookbook is in the final stages. We are just checking over the recipes to be sure everything is original (not copied from any bound or online source–recipe instructions can be copyright-protected). So if you receive an email from us asking you to confirm that your submitted recipe is original, please reply to that email as soon as you can! We want to get this book out as much as you all want to receive it. Thanks to all who have been so patient about this – we think it’s going to be better than you even expect! Anyone who wants to get a pre-order in can do this in the Kiosk.
