    Wasn't there a problem before about having special characters included in the password? Maybe that could have caused a problem too.

    HI, me again, just want to say that, the problem I had was that clicking on the lost password, would bring me to the forum homepage, with the FAQ and the discussions list etc etc, and it wouldn't open the whole name or email _____________________________
    captcha
    page at all, i tried like, 12million times, even went as far as to ggl lost password novel updates thinking it might work that way, but it was still like that till I opened it in a private window. Idk why that is happening, as my addblock is off so that couldn't have been interfering. It might be a glitch? Tho idk why it would still be that way for like 3 days, no matter how many times I tried, till it hit me to check if it works on private, and bam, it did.

    Tony's online frequency varies. Be patient.

    Also just in case if you haven't, I suggest putting name you want to change to in your convo and if no one else is using it, he'll swap it when he gets to it.

    Nooooot really. But if you post complaints on @Tony's profile, there's a chance he'll refund it.

    Hmm, or praises? Or confessions? Or threats, he might be into those.

    follow the existing numbering format. don't create your own. look at the existing examples in the novel's listing. or look at other novels (there;s literally 12K+ of them to choose from)

    no 'ch 10' or 'c003' or 'novelnamehere c08' or 'c9 chaptertitlehere'

    . . . .

    these are the formats you should be using (when submitting chapters to NU)
    prologue
    prologue part1
    v1 prologue part1

    c1
    c1 part1
    v1c1
    v1c1 part1

    the same goes for epilogue, extra, interlude, intermission, afterword, ss

    I'm sure this is somewhere super obvious, but how do I search the forum by tag? Also, how do I search the forum for a phrase, not just the individual words? I want to search for posts about a specific novel, but the title is made up of really common words.

    when you put your cursor into the search box, it'll pop down into a bigger box. one of the button is "More..". you'll have the options to search for
    • Everything
    • Threads and Posts
    • Profile Posts
    • Blog
    • Tags
    and should be able to narrow down the scope to specific subforum, among others.

    alternatively, use google. it has better search engine than xenforo (which the forum is based on). just put "site:forum.novelupdates.com" at the end of your search phrase
    example
    Code:
    tonylicious listen site:forum.novelupdates.com

    Would it be possible to add the "Sort By" option to the Reading List filter, like in the Series Finder?

    Go to your Reading List, then click on "List Settings".

    There is an option to choose how your Reading List sorts the novels there.

    Thank you very much! I actually already knew that, but I appreciate anyway, I was more so asking because I wanted to sort by the number of chapters each novel has. I have a lot of unread novels and would like to get the shorter ones out of the way, but I can't really tell sometimes if it has few chapters without clicking every novel, as some are sort of deceiving because the latest update could be for an earlier chapter redone or say something like V2 C1 and it turns out Volume 1 had like 1000 chapters. On the contrary it could say V10 C4 and it turns out all the previous volumes only had 2 chapters each.
