We really enjoy hearing from our community and always look forward to reading your comments.

 

How to contact us

To report a technical issue, provide feedback, or ask a question, tweet us @smallrivers or submit a question to Community Q & A Forum or use the form to submit a request.    If the issue is more involved we may contact you offline to get more information.

Request a feature

To request a feature, take a look at the Feature Requests Forum, and if the idea has not already been requested, feel free to add your request.  If you see that the idea has already been requested, be sure to "like" the feature request.  Liking a feature request is a way to "vote" for the improvement and helps us communicate to the product development team what the majority of users want. 

You can also click Screen_Shot_2013-10-17_at_9.53.21_PM.png if you wish to be informed on when and if the feature has been implemented.

 

Tips on making a comment or asking for help

New to commenting or not sure how to most effectively make your point? Here are a few tips to help you out when commenting on an article, reporting an issue and leaving comments in general. 

1. Be specific

Let us know why you are contacting us or what compelled you to comment

Technical issues:  To quote publisher Mike Lazarus "Taking your car to the garage and saying it doesn't work isn't really helpful." Be specific!

  • If you are reporting a technical issue, be as articulate as you can and leave us browser details, what you are doing when you experience issues, if it is occuring one time only or repeatedly. The more information, the better.  And please let us know the URL of your paper or the paper you have registered the issue. 
  • If you are commenting on a post, tell us what compelled you to comment. Did you like a new feature? If so, what? The feature is a flop? Tell us why and what we could do better. 

2. Stay on topic

Regardless if you are browsing articles, posts, or FB entries, it is always good practice to keep questions and conversations organized.  If you see a post about content streams and you have a question about customization, start a new request or take a look to see if you can jump in on a conversation that is already taking place. It becomes confusing for everyone to jump from topic to topic. And it makes it easier to find you and make sure your comments, questions and requests are promptly answered. 

3. Be Nice

Nobody is perfect and we can all have "one of those " days. Even so, it is never appropriate to use insults or offensive language in the Paper.li community.   

Even when you don't agree with publishing peers' opinions, a new feature that we've rolled out, support response times, blog posts or the way the wind is blowing today... disrespectful comments won't improve the situation. 

Praise, kudos, comments -- they are all welcome, and criticism is too, as long as it is constructive. Please note: Rude, incendiary comments in the forum, as comments on a blog, on FB or Twitter that do not lend to fruitful conversation will be removed, disregarded or simply ignored.
