This is probably just me, but when I try to post a youtube video on my wall it comes up as a link to a strange Russian website. I'm following the information given here: https://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewtopic.php?t=100998.

Hey so I know you're still working on the lit works section, but this is just to note that works that are saved as a draft still show up on the People tab.

Example, https://www.youngwriterssociety.com/work.php?id=117481 showed up in my feed.

I run the Music Buffs club, and a lot of our Feature segments involve youtube embed links. I've been using the [media][/media] code and resizing them, but they almost always end up like this:

Is there any way I can get past it, or will I have to go back to the old embed method?

Nate! Just an odd one here, and not sure if it's my system or the site: the chat bar and the user bar (the top and bottom black rows, basically, on the site) don't always stay put. It doesn't seem to happen on a particular page or time, but they'll stop staying put and start floating? Like, they're chasing my scrolling up and down the page until they settle back where they're supposed to be. I'm on my chromebook.

@Meshugenah ->> Did it start recently or has it been going on for a while?

@Meandbooks ->> The default browser on android devices like the Kindle Fire is outdated, so it doesn't always display content correctly (the same thing happens on my Nexus phone). This can be solved if you download another browser from the app store. The best is Google Chrome, but I'm not sure if that's available for the Kindle Fire. Other good options are Opera and the Dolphin browser.

This started within the past few weeks, on a semi-consistent basis. It's not every page every time, but usually at least one page per YWS visit. It's doing it right now, for instance, on the "people" tab, but not in this one.

Eh, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but might as well mention it just in case. On my phone, the autocorrection works on everything else but for some reason it doesn't work in the YWS chatroom.

W7, Chrome, People Tab.

I know this isn't technically a bug because it's a repeatable thing that just happens, but I figured Hey, Nate might not know this is a thing so I'm here to tell you about the thing. Sorry if you knew. I'll cut to the chase now.

Hashtags in the People tab do not work if they are preceded by a hit of the Enter key. I guess another way to phrase it is that they don't function if they begin their own line of text? I didn't realize the pattern properly until #15in15 started. Anyway, a status like this will not parse the hashtag:

Today I wrote YWS fanfic.
#15in15

but this would work:
Today I wrote YWS fanfic. #15in15

or even this!
Today I wrote YWS fanfic.
Winning! #15in15


The one permutation I'm unsure of is if a hashtag on a new line of text will parse if preceded by another hashtag that fails. Sorry for the excess info. I was interested by it and did some testing on my own statuses.

^ If you write two hashtags in their own separate line, ilike
#15in15 #yay


the second one will parse, the first one will fail. At least it did with my statuses a few times, and I've seen it around~
