Where it says "Showing threads 1 to 1 of 1, sorted by last post time in descending order, from last 30 days", can we change that in our profiles? Or is that standard like that? I for one would like to put it to "from the beginning", because when you're browsing through the fora, I tend to forget it's only the last 30 days, which means I forget to read up on the older threads, and maybe it would be easier on new members as well, so they see all the threads? Or would that mean more work for the database?
And another thing: I was thinking about how short stories are such a different medium from books. I know this is The Book Forum, but do you guys think there would be a place for short stories here as well? It would be easier to talk about them (in a Book of the Month kind of way) as well, cause, basically, they're short, and we could maybe even post them (or is that a problem with copyrights there?). I don't know. It's just a thought.
One last thing: I tried to add a link to the Encyclopaedia section, and it said: "You cannot add links to this category, please choose a sub-category", but I can't seem to find just what that sub-category is.
(the link's http://www.xrefer.com/ btw; great site: dictionaries, encyclopaediae, etc.)
