Hi, um, I've noticed some topics have bomb signs on their icons. What does this mean? I've seen that the bomb sign usually appears for topics that have over 2 pages of posts.

Also, what are the stars for? Since I became a Junior Writer, I got 1 shiny gold star! But I've seen blue stars and red stars too. Just wondering what they meant! :)

Bombs mean a topic is popular. If it has a little 'N' on it it means there is a new post in it that you haven't seen.

The stars are your review stars! You get your first shiny gold star at 5 reviews, Congrats!
I believe you will get another one at 50 reviews, then another at 100 reviews.
It doesn't have anything to do with the titles. Those have to do with the number of posts you have.

Hope that answers your questions. PM me anytime!

OK, thank you so much, Kamas! :D :)

I can't wait to get cracking at some more reviews...especially since it looks I'll need to browse myself, since nobody's looking at my review page....

Since Kamas didn't answer the whole question, I'll complete. No offense Kamas :D :D :wink:

You start getting blue stars after you get your review count over 500. And I don't know how much you need to get a orange/red one, but I've seen Snoink and Kitty15 having all 5 of those starts, and their review count is over 2000. :shock:

I believe Nate was talking about adding purple stars, but only if alot of people get all 5 orange stars. :D

Come on Snoink, you are one of best reviewers in YWS. It's a piece of cake for you to get all purple stars when they are available. :D Me, on the other hand is stuck with 157 reviews and 4 stars. :cry: :cry:

You click Community Forums.
Then it should be a Sub-Forum under 'The Lounge'

:D Hope that gives you a hand.

How do I get a signature under my comments? You know, like the one the person above me has under the line beneath their comment.
