There's a search function located on the Quick links menu (upper left side of any page on the forums).MardiL wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 17:11 Over the years of my career, I have come to realize that there is no such thing as a perfect website. But that does not mean there is no room for improvement. One challenge I see for this particular site is the wide scope of information, topics and options. And to be honest, I have struggled to find the things I want. Or, once I find something, it seems I can't always find it again. If there was one thing, I think would help me, it would be a search engine that facilitates navigate more easily. But, then, search engines are another challenge. Overall, I really like this site and find it valuable and will continue recommending it to others.
Maybe update the look of the website?

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Hi. Thanks for this suggestion. Exactly how big do you suggest the logo should be? Should the current size be doubled? Trippledd? Please let me know.Hannah_Keos wrote: ↑21 Sep 2020, 18:40 The website functions very well and the look of it gets the job done, but I think the website could be more eye-catching. The logo is great but is so small it takes the viewer a second to find it. I think books bring out everyone's imagination and a more vividly colored website would depict our enthusiasm as readers, writers, and reviewers. Everything on the website functions great. A new look would help bring it the attention it deserves!
On how colorful the website is, are there any specific colors you'd like replaced or used? It will be very helpful if you get as specific as possible. I'll then foward these suggestions to Scott.
Thank you.

Hi,Tonia Freeman wrote: ↑01 Aug 2022, 16:02 I have to say I agree it's "clunky". Personally, was very surprised to find there is no app for this website. I think some of the website issues are the flow. It is very hunt and peck when trying to find any info. The "search" function is probably the worst I have seen. In fact, I've never seen any search set up like this one that it takes you back to Google. I have been working on fixing my Bookcase and the book listings are a mess. Just today I found one book with seven entries on the site. I really do like a lot of aspects of this site but I think if the developers took some notes from the Goodbooks site and app they could incorporate some of their simplicity, especially related to the Bookshelf.
Thanks for your comment. Actually there IS an app: OBC Reader and it's free on Google Play.
I have forwarded your suggestions to management.

Thanks for reaching out! We appreciate honesty when it comes to suggestions, and I did not think you were being harsh at all. Did you get a chance to try out the OBC Reader App yet?
