Young Writers Society

@BellaRoma
This is happening to me, too.

@emeraldfox So, it's not just me. I'm not just accidentally pressing the wrong button (I hope XD).

That sounds pretty odd. I just tried it, and it normally published my random scene just as always.
So, when you guys post something, it's automatically a draft, but takes your points, and then? Does it take your points again when you try to publish that draft or when you upload it again (but this time it makes it a proper work)?

I think so.

@AriaAdams, yes. It takes another 250 points to publish, but it does publish.
I just published the draft it saved.

That was a multiple choice question xD
Did you
a) try to publish that work from already uploaded draft (edit draft -> publish) or
b) try to publish the same work from your computer (copy-paste/upload file -> publish)?

In either case, can you tell approximately when it happened (maybe it had something to do with the high alert changing cost for works or idk)? And, if you haven't tried, can another user see that draft if you give them a link? If yes (that used to be a bug that occasionally came in handy, but I'm not sure if it was dealt with <.<), you could send the links to drafts to me if it happens again and I can try publishing it for you (if it lets me do anything and acts like a published work, that is). Not the best solution, but a kind of one, at least, until someone with actual expertise can look into it? =]

Edit - by "publishing for you" I mean, by editing your drafts just as much so they get published. They'd stay the same and under your name, of course. I'm just not 100% sure I can do that until I try >.>

- A detailed description of what happened. What section were you on? What were you doing? What were you trying to do? I was talking to KatyaElefant on chatbar, then she asked, "Is your wall back up?" Being confused, I went to my wall to check if it had ever been down. This popped up: "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/ywsfred/public/youngwriterssociety.com/public/includes/utf/utf_tools.php on line 1063" I can't access my wall, but I can see my reviews, trophies, forum posts, and works.

I've been trying to get on @RavenMoonStone wall, and YWS won't allow me... please tell me how to fix this as soon as possible.

Hm...I can't get to Raven's profile either, even though I don't seem to have trouble with other people.

Here's the exact error message I got (using Chrome):

*waves* Me again.

- A detailed description of what happened. What section were you on? What were you doing? What were you trying to do? I was trying to submit a review, and this came up. It happened once before, but I thought it was a one time thing. Also, I got the points from my review, and the review submitted. However, I don't get to see the "here are the points you earned" page. Just that.

Hey @RavenMoonStone, the problems (accessing your profile and the review issue) should both be fixed now. Let me know if you run into any further problems!

So...is YWS still supposed to be accessible via Tapatalk? I tried using it again recently since Safari still likes to log me out all the time, but it won't let me access the forum. I tried deleting and reinstalling the newly-updated app, but it didn't work.

Weirdly enough, I'm still getting the notifications from YWS. Just a few minutes ago, my phone buzzed from a mention before I even got the notification on the website. However, when I tried getting to the forum itself, it just tried to load for a moment then said "Website not available. Try again later."

I realize this might an app issue rather than a site issue, but I thought I'd ask since other people noted problems too.

I'm on an iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.

Tapatalk issued out a new update this past week, so I'll go ahead and install that tonight. The new update is supposed to fix a slew of bug issues so hopefully that'll resolve all problems.

The new Tapatalk update has been installed, so everything should be working now. If anyone still runs into issues, you might need to uninstall then reinstall the app on your phone.

It hadn't been working for me before, but now it does @Nate, so I think everything is all good!
