    if i understand correctly, you want to auto-add any novel you ticked onto your favorite list, is that it? unfortunately, there are currently no way for that

    but there are workaround. it involves creating a temporary lis, the move all novels from Default list into it. then go to your favorite reading list, move all novels in it to Default list. finally, rename Default list to something else

    OR,

    you make it so that your favorite reading list has its own section on main page. all release for the novels in your selected favorite list will appear at the top.
    go to Global setting-- Display Favorites on Main Page

    Err... more like, I have three reading list. Trial (which is default reading list and renamed), main, and dropped.
    Since the favorites corresponds to the default reading list, how can I switch it to main reading list as my favorites?

    1) create 4th reading list. name it, Trial_2.

    2) now, select everything in Trial (default list), move it to Trial_2

    3) Trial (default list) is now empty, correct?. so open Main (your favorite) and move everything in it into Trial (default list)

    4) delete Main (it should be empty by now)

    5) rename Trial to Main

    6) rename Trial_2 to something else, if you want to.

    7) done

    In case you meant main page's favorites:
    Reading List > Global Settings > Display Favorites on Main Page: [ Main ] (if that's what the list is called)

    It's currently impossible. And you wouldn't be able to move it before the first list anyway - you can't delete it either.

    You can only do this:

    1. Create list D.
    2. Move A to D.
    3. Move C to A.
    4. Keep moving until you reach the order you wanted.
    5. After you're done, delete list D.

    How do I quickly tick all the current releases for a novel?

    You only need to tick the last one you read. All releases inbetween will get ticked as well.

    Also, if you want to "tick" it to the latest release... you can just click the [refresh] button on the right of your reading list.

    You can't. You have to rate each novel by going to it's page and scrolling to the bottom.
    Rating column is only visible on the public reading list - the one that shows others what you read, how far + the rating with links to reviews, if you wrote any.
    Unfortunately, that list is strictly for viewing purposes, you can't update there.

    Thank you! That's too bad. And I assume you can't change it once you have rated?

    If you mean enabling the column, then nope - you can't. You can change the ratings by going back to the bottom of the series page.

    Hi, first time posting here. I've been using the reading list for quite a while and I really like it, the only problem I have is that I accidentally bumped the completely up to date button on BTTH and I'm only on c245. I can't figure out how to undo that... Please help?

    Tick the box next to c245. It should be here: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/battle-through-the-heavens/?pg=33
