Young Writers Society

So how will posting and submitting work with the new YWS?

For the most part, you're not going to notice much of a difference. You will be able to choose from a large variety of colors for your font, but what actually will really be awesome are the vast array of bbcodes available. At the moment, it takes me three hours to add one new bbcode; it's a ridiculously tedious process. But with phpBB3, which is what the new YWS uses, adding a new bbcode takes a minute. That way, if you see an html code that you'd like to use as a bbcode, you just have to let me know.

Another huge thing everyone will like is the ability to choose the format you want your stories & poems to appear as. You can choose to have indented paragraphs, drop caps (very first letter only), and even the font type (Arial, Verdana, Times, Georgia). Note that these options are only available when posting a story or poem.

Other than that, though, you shouldn't notice much of a difference.

That's cool, I can't wait!


You say there will be colors, do you mean more colors than there are now?

Dude, yes. There will be tons more colors available.

... Hopefully also burnt sienna?

I like that

Sounds great though!

You do realize that you can use any color you want at this point in time if you use the bbcode right....

Example the first sentence is written in Dark Golden Rod.. written in the code with no spaces and all lowercase.. and this is pale green....

Cool, no?

Ah but if Nate's system makes it simpler, I'm all for it =)
