I can't figure out how to edit a work? I've done it before, but it's been long enough that I can't remember.

Hi there @angrykitten114! To edit your work, first open it (either through the literary tab or your works), and along the right-hand side of the screen you should see a white button that says "Edit Work". Just click that and you should be able to edit your work!

I hope that makes sense, if you have any further questions feel free to ask (:

Hi, @kryptonianmenace! One of the best tips I've ever gotten for reviewing is The YWS Critique Sandwich. You can click on that thread if you want more information, but a good review usually involves saying what you like and commenting on anything that you think can be improved. I think the best way to think about reviewing is imagine what you would want in a review. If you keep that in mind while you're reviewing, it'll hopefully be easy to write a review! <3

I've actually been compiling some threads that have some great reviewing tips, so I threw them in the spoiler down below!

...is it just me, or does it feel like you don't have to get as many likes to be in the literary spotlight anymore? I thought it was 4+, but "A Response to the Cold, Bitter Soul" only has two, and I don't think I've ever had a work do that without 4 or more. If it really is only 2 minimum likes, I think that should be raised so that the works that truly ought to be there (4+ likes, maybe more) can sit in the spotlight for all to admire.
The politics of the world may be corrupt, but that does not mean that we must be corrupted ourselves.

@TheScribe I don't think it's actually based on a concrete number cut-off, I think it's just the top five works that have gotten the most likes in the past 48 hours - so if people have generally been liking stuff less recently, it would take less likes to get into the spotlight. Though I don't have any actual evidence of that, so if I'm wrong don't sue me please

@whatchamacallit

Oh... that makes sense, from a certain Point of View. Thanks!

@TheScribe whatcha is correct! It's just based off the total likes in the past 48 hours, and what posts have gotten the most. There's no concrete cut-off (because if there was, there may be days with less than five works in the spotlight)

So... bb code works in wall posts and such. But does the bb code for colors for texts not work for things like wall posts?

@winterwolf0100 it should be working for wall posts. If you’re having an issue with that, feel free to report wall posts problems in the report a bug thread.

@winterwolf0100 if you're using word colours, like "color=green", then it should work on wallposts just fine. If you're using hex code, like "color=#0F0F0F", then I believe it only works in forum posts, not wallposts. Hope that helps!

edit - whoops I see alliyah already mentioned that in Report A Site Bug ^^

How do people add the boxes with quotes from the story they’re reviewing? I see it all the time, but I don’t know how to add them.

Great question @emilyrebecca! To do that, you can use this code:
Code: Select all
[quote]whatever text you're quoting blah blah blah[/quote]


which ends up looking like this:
whatever text you're quoting blah blah blah


I hope that helps! :D
