I went to the MEFA site this morning.
As has happened in the past, I didn't get to *half* of the stories I wanted to. I loved the "wish list" feature, by the way, which made it easier to duck in and out and add a story to my "meaning to" list. I'm sure I reviewed more than I would have, without that feature.
However, I do have a small suggestion--if I'm not misreading the site. This morning it is showing randomly selected reviews. Nice! However, I wanted to read a story that was reviewed, but I'm not sure how to find the story. It is identified by title, nominator, and reviewer (a clickable link, that leads to an "access denied" screen), but I don't see an indication of the author's name or where to find the story. Is there some "simple" click that is evading me? Or is a little tweak needed to let people find the story featured in the "random review"?
Thanks,
Lin

Hi Lin,
This is a good suggestion. I'll discuss it with the other volunteers to
see if there's anything that can be done to make it easier to find the
story. I don't know what's possible, so I can't make any promises there
- but I will make sure we at least see what's possible.
In the mean time, the simplest way to find more about the story is the
story ID number, which is in the grey box in the top-left corner. For
instance, right now the random review is from Larner for #302, A Time to
Hope. If you click the "Browse All Nominated Stories" link just above
the review and then do a search for "302#", it will bring up all the
information on "A Time to Hope." Including the author's name (PipMer),
and the title is a link to where the story is posted at an archive.
Thanks,
Marta

Thank you, Marta! I didn't realize I could search by story number.
