If you have a question, the place to go is here.

Based on the Book: Books to Movies 493
Readers read. That's a given. Now's your chance to read, watch and chat about all those books turned into movies: past, present and future. Tell us what you think. 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 2985
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.

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. Some suggestions for how to help make sure your post gives complete information etc can be found here.

(Not-So-) Random Acts of BookCrossing Kindness 46045
Are you searching for the perfect next reader for a book? Perhaps you want to offer a book (or books) as a contest prize. Maybe you want to swap books, or search for someone to RABCK*. Here is a good place to start.
You can also use this forum if you are in search of (ISO) a particular title. And don't forget to search BookCrossing wishlists, to see if someone is wishing for a specific book (You'll need to click on "wishlists").
Please note: exchanging or trading or swapping by any other name is still a completely personal choice, and not all members wish to participate. Check profiles and individual Private Message pages for indications regarding trading preferences, and observe site etiquette regarding requesting a book.
More information can be found here.
