BookCrossing Site Announcements 7024
Official site announcements from management, Support and Newsletter teams and from our Supply Store. Check here frequently to keep up-to-date on such things as new feature notifications, site updates, store items and general BC "official" news. Members may comment in threads, but not post announcements here. Please use the Community Bulletin Board for member generated news.
Community Bulletin Board 1858
News to share, or something to shout about? Put it on the Community Bulletin Board. A place for any special announcements to the community, including info on upcoming special events (also see our Conventions and Meetings forum), community activities, new media exposure, local BookCrossing gatherings, etc.
If you're uncertain if your post fits here, try this test: would you hang a notice about this on an actual bulletin board in your community?

If you have a question, the place to go is here.
Conventions and Meetings 5537
Meeting other BookCrossers is great! Planning a special BookCrossing get-together in your area? Use this forum for planning and announcements.

If you're using a device and browser* that support emojis, please mark your thread with the emoji for the country where the event is taking place. If not, then don't worry because BC Support will do it for you.

*All browsers are capable of showing emojis! You may need to install an emoji font, and in order to also add them yourself, you may need a browser add-on.

Do you read a book first or see the movie first? Or maybe tell which books ought to be in pictures, which succeeded, which made you cringe. Lights! Camera! Read 'em!
Bugs and Broken Bits Reporting 3143
This forum is where BookCrossing members can report problems they encounter with the site: things believed to be a bug, or broken, or coding problem, but not a question on how BookCrossing works. (For those questions, please use our Site Questions: Basic and Advanced forum.)
Please be sure to be as precise and clear as you can be in relaying information on quirks, bugs, things not working correctly, broken links etc.

We ask that you include the following, if you can:
⁃ Browser type and version / OS
⁃ Device type
⁃ Url of error (including querystring)
⁃ Description of what happened. Brief but detailed enough so that we can try and replicate the problem.

Thank you for your support!
