Welcome to Apollo! Nothing works...

Nate · 2011-12-24T10:24:31Z

Heh, don't so I didn't warn you. First, please don't make any bug reports at this time. Nothing works. Therefore, bug reports are superfluous. Now at this point, you may be freaking out. How can I comment on someone's profile? How do I create novels? I can't see who's in chat!? Go drink some tea, sit back, enjoy a game of badminton, then come back. Almost every feature that was a part of the old YWS will be once again part of YWS: Apollo. Also, no data has been lost. All of your profile comments are in the database, just waiting to be read again. So here's the timeline of how things will go... By January: New literary works area and new storybooks area. By mid-January: Advanced profiles will return, meaning comments on profiles will be back. At this time, blogs will also return, but as part of profiles. By February: New dashboard and clubs. So there you have it. By February, everything you know and love will be back, but it'll be working better and looking nicer. With that said, please expect stuff to change unexpectedly. This is a huge change, and stuff will change randomly. I would have preferred to do all this over time and only release when it was ready, but the constant site problems kind of ruined that. However, I do hope you like the new design a lot. Expect it to only get better.

Oh, ok. Sorry, I should've thought about something like that.

I don't always write on forums, but when I do, I prefer YWS.

Sharpen your pencil, my friends.

Ok, commenting on profiles is back! Nothing else about profiles is back, but that'll be fixed soon enough.

You can't remove comments yet, but that'll also be fixed soon enough. Otherwise, it's really just the same old functionality, but dressed up better.

To access your profile, just click on the little dropdown menu in the upper left hand corner.

Will it show your stats below your name in the future?

Does anyone have an idea when edit buttons will return? :?:

Hey, Shooting!

I think Nate explained it on this page: viewtopic.php?f=402&t=92009&p=957126#p957126

Oh noes! The preview button on comments on works doesn't work! I just lost a half-done review.

Hi Nate!

Just mentioning that chat went down today! Apparently it's happened before. I don't know if you're doin' crazy chat works though. xD

Hope you're having a lovely day!

I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

Hey! I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'm just asking here...

How do I reorganize my portfolio?

Thanks!

Will portfolios be back any time soon? Or are they lost forever? Or am I just stupid and can't find it.....I miss it!

Thanks!

Portfolios will be back! Once Nate is able to get back to finishing the site (he's a busy guy, you know!) portfolios are going to be one of the many things from old YWS that will be making a comeback.

Got YWS?

YAYYY! I was so worried that I would actually have to use the horrible search option to find my work 0.0....haha it's a better search option than most sites have, but it doesn't search titles so you have to remember content >.< if I remembered the content I wouldn't be searching for it! Haha Thanks for the info! Can't wait!

Actually, you can search for just titles.

If you go into the Advanced Search, you'll see the option search only topic titles (located by "Search within"). Make sure that's selected and type in your title in the keywords section to search.

Displaying your search results as topics reduces the number of results that will pop up.

For extra good measure, you can also type in your username in the "Search for author" field. This will cut down on the number of duplicate-titles (especially if the title is "Untitled") and make finding your work much easier.

You can also go to browse and 'view mine' which is a quick and easy way to find your work!
