Calls for submissions are where a lot of writers pick up paid work. While some calls pay very poorly others can be quite generous.Â

Matthew Brown replied to the topic What about seeding fan groups? in the forum General Chat 7 years, 5 months ago
I’d like to do that. I probably would have but as we are an author blogging site I’d like to find authors with blogs and that’s proving quite tricky. Lots of US authors have blogs, UK authors are harder to find.

I hope this does not seem rude but I have a suggestion. What about making lots of groups for different fandoms of authors? Would that not get people interested in coming here?
Just an idea.

Know bug: Hidden groups are utterly hidden in the forum Help and Support 7 years, 5 months agoBy design, hidden groups should just be extremely private. Due to a known issue, they are so private they are hidden from everyone, even the person who created them.
The developers have been notified of the bug but, for now, I recommend avoiding the use of hidden groups.

You are indeed correct. When I first set things up I turned off every permission that was not strictly needed. When I set up the group and blog system I missed that one option. Well spotted Beta tester Danny.

The thing is, the plugins menu isn’t available to mere mortals, you as the admin have to enable it for us so we can then see what plugins are available
