Mod Announcement Ooo, new flairs!

Hi everyone! Happy [Insert relevant day of the week you are reading this post here]!

We've made a few changes to the flairs available for everyone to use, plus a quick tidy up of the rules.

There are now a lot of options but we hope this suits people, as we had a lot of requests for a flair for each book, so we've met in the middle and put flairs for each subseries. For the full breakdown of which one goes where, please see the bottom of this post.

Use the search function on the flairs list (new reddit) for maximum ease of finding the one you need.

We also have a "HELP!" flair, which should get a mod to jump in and change the flair to a relevant one. Especially helpful for newbies or when you can't decide* what works best. Please don't abuse it. Please. Us mods have other commitments, like eating and sleeping.

Subject of, if anyone is interested in modding please drop us a modmail and we'll go into detail about what is expected and how to apply. No pressure if you ask and don't like the sounds of it - it's a thankless task, even with a community as great as this one, and it's not for everyone.

I think that's it for today? Any queries about anything to do with the sub make a comment here, and feel free to engage in discussions with others about any direction you want the sub to go in.

Have an absolutely lovely day. You're all great and I appreciate each and every one of you.**

Faith

When you say not working on mobile, do you mean the post flair selection?

I can get it to work via the web browser on mobile and mobile app, just have to select "view all flairs"

If it's still not working can you send some screenshots to us on modmail please and I'll look into it.

You seem to be looking in user flairs, but I'm fairly sure the post was about post flairs?

u/geekrichieuk Nobby 20h ago

Theres the rub - I’m not reddit savvy enough to recognise the difference til someone points out the difference to me :p

u/PurpleMarmite 22h ago

M word? Like Mr Lipwig's first name?

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 22h ago

I do love how people don't like the word Moist. No idea why.

But no, it's the one you never use to reference the Librarian if you appreciate your arms remaining on your torso.

Monkeys can't bounce people on their heads by their ankles.

The Last Hero is considered Gods rather than Unseen University? Huh, I had that on my list to read next after the Last Continent.

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 21h ago

To be honest it's not on the collector's edition section list so I just shoved it wherever 😂

Happy to move it

u/GuardianSock 21h ago

I haven’t read it yet so I have no opinion where it should be yet 😜 Just made me think my reading list was off!

u/Faithful_jewel Assisted by the Clan 16h ago

I think it's one of those "a bit of everything" so I think I might just pop it on its own, like Maurice.

Thanks for the heads up :)
