Making News Section Where to Start Reading Articles Easily Available

Joshua Lapin-Bertone has a series of
Start Reading articles for various characters. They accomplish this goal beautifully.

The problem is that the News Section.is not searchable. Only Movies Comics and Community are.

Please consider having a place where links to these articles are available.

These articles and a few Storylines should be made available to every new member in Community 2.0 Orientation as well as members who now want a reading order for these characters and teams.

Thank you for considering this.

Hi there @Turok! Thanks for this suggestion! This is something that we are working on with Community 2.0, but having all of the specific News article dates is an immense help!

Looking back further in News

Found a Doom Patrol Article when TV show started.

It is not by Joshua but it has the Doom Patrol main arcs more so than Browse Storylines does

It replaces bottom of my thread. Which contained the first two Grant Morrison arcs. So those this but Diaz also contains first appearance of Doom Patrol in My Greatest Adventures. All of these are essential

I saw your post on the main thread in the Comic Section, @TurokSonOfStone1950, thank you for the updates on what you’re seeing! I know from what you’ve said in the past that you sometimes access the forums using a mobile device, but are you able to access it via link?

It sometimes takes about 20 minutes for the articles to populate, but copying and pasting the link can sometimes give you access to the article before it’s fully visible. I’m able to access it via pc browser, for example. Also curious, is the article not showing up at all for you on the News page?

I followed the link. Took a screen shot of first page converted it to text with an android app. Later i will convert all the pages to text because you cant bookmark articles in the News Section nor is it searchable.

The article itself is now on the News page

Bump

Didn’t realize this thread existed. Thank you very much for all the kind words! There are more character reading lists on the docket, but let me know if there are any requests.
As for making them easy to find, I did notice that they were on the COMICS main tab every now and then.

@Joshua

Your articles are the best. Not too much but with bonuses to pursue further.

As i was saying there are a lot of request sfrom members asking what to read and your articles are perfect.

I took screenshots of each page of your articles and converted the jpg to a text file using an Android app and have all of them.

So if a member wants batman stories i copy and paste your Batman article in response to them

If you look at main comic page
The Browse functions are now on top and contain

Browse with fliters on era and a few writers and artists

A get to know for maybe 38 characters

Finally one on story arcs.

Your Start Reading corresponds to Get to know.

I am trying to get someone to link to your article or copy and paste so member dont manually have to use the date published to get the appropriate reading order you wrote. It is too much trouble for most.

So the need is for each of these
Get to know web pages have your Start Reading

Complicating matters
When Search is used

Only three parts

Movies
Comics
Community

Are searched

News where your articles are is not part of search.

Every day members want to know what to read. Your articles do that. Put them with Get to Know and everybody is happy.

You will even be more famous.

Of course it is easier for you in California to use cookies and such to bribe those who can do this.

All i can do is nag and stress the need.

@Joshua

There are 35 characters currently in Get to Know in Browse and Comic Books.

The list can be sorted alphabetically.

Those are the characters that need Start Reading articles.

You have already done many of them.
