After dinking around on this site for a while, I suppose I've gained an understanding of most of it, but there are many things I still question. If anyone would like to help me out with these problems, I would be forever in your debt:
-On submissions people have made, they tend to have a place to put the title and also a breif commentary before the story. However, when I tried submitting, there was only a small space to enter the subject, and nothing more.
-After I pushed the submit button, it said I couldn't post so recently after my last, and I haven't even posted anything yet...
-Also, I've noticed that people on here have profiles displaying their locations, biographies, pictures, ect. I've found myself not only unable to change my profile, but also to find it.
-And the final, I don't understand how the layout works. You really cant even indent paragraphs? You really can't just italisize instead of having an annoying "I" on either side of a phrase?

Hi Nicole! Welcome to YWS! :D

1. In the past, you could make a brief commentary! Now, that is no more. Not sure why, but hey, whatever! So no worries... you're not imagining things. :)

2. Sometimes that happens to me... usually when I double click or get annoyed and click again. So that might have happened for you! If that's not the case, resubmit it... it should be fune!

3. Go to My YWS. It should be on the black bar up there!

4. If you want to indent, you would have to click a little box that says "novel style" (or something like that... maybe format?) and it'll indent! As far as the italics... yeah. It's really annoying! Maybe in the future, Nate (our administrator/techie) will add rich text for the text boxes, but for now, it's like that. However, if you type Ctrl+i while writing in the text box, it'll italicize things for you! Hopefully that will help!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask more! :)

Yep, Snoink nailed all of them. ^__^

Also, if you happened to send a private message just before you attempted to post, the system counts PMs as a post for some reason, so if you're multi-tasking, that could explain it.

Anyways, welcome to YWS! If you want, would you mind telling us what you're planning on posting and what kinds of things you like to write? ^___^

Let me know if you ever need a review, okay?

Hi Nicole! Welcome to YWS. :D

Well, I hope these two lovely ladies answered your questions. If you have any more, one of our Junior Moderators posted a great topic to look through to get the answer to almost anything YWS-related. :)

Good luck! PM me if you need anything.
