Restructuring the ebook section

Oh, please, for the love of God, put a Romance section in the Fiction directory, so I never have to look at one of those covers by accident again!

An excellent update to this wonderful section of a very user-friendly forum. Thank you very much for all your work.

What is meant by "Expired eBook Releases"?

Just that the download is dead, or the file host is dead.

Those releases get moved into that forum until the links are refreshed with new ones.

Partial answer.

"Expired eBook Releases" is where posts get put that have dead/deleted links AND either the Original Poster is no longer with us or has not been around for a long time. Or possibly, the Original Poster no longer has access to the file (for whatever reasons) and is unable to replace the links.

Simply having dead links is not reason enough to expire a post.

Idea...why don't integrate a "language" split?
It would be helpful to meet any user from abroad!
Do I've lost this feature of the new resstructuring!? :-(

in this case, sorry!

If I understand you correctly, you wish for a separate section for each of the languages? If so, there is already a method in place to show if the topic is in a language other than English (default posting language). In the title, the other language is shown like this: "Title by Author [language](.filetype)(.filetype)" - Examples of languages - [GER],[FRE],[IT],[RUS]

Sounds great, love the idea of 'tags' also, might save trolling through all of the 'fiction'

Great.

Now, for your next ebook forum project: How about working on the search function? It's really lame. I can find things more easily (or, more often, at all) by using google's site: function than my using the search on this site.

Great idea. Also, any chance of a YA/Kids section - would make it easy when I'm finding stuff for my kids

I agree that a tagging system or subsections in the Fiction section would be helpful, even if it's just a few subsections for the more common fiction genres like Romance or Young Adult.

Wonderful update! This will make browsing go so much quicker. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into this site!

I agree with the idea of giving Romance its own directory - I don't really enjoy those covers either. :wink:

I would be nice if the audiobook section was soorted in a simmilar way

It would be nice to have some subsections under "Fiction", eg Romance, paranormal, science-fiction, thriller, ....

It is nice to see different books getting their own sections. I have always thought that audiobooks should have their own section.

I agree. When I look for an ebook, I'm looking for something for the eyes and not the ears.

Folks, I don't know where you have been looking, but the audiobooks section has BEEN a separate section for quite some time now! :shock:

Great initiative! When I first joined the forum, I was actually looking for the Fiction and Non-fiction sections =)
