Young Writers Society

Go check out user profiles! I reworked them to make them more organized and user-friendly. Everything is now separated into tabs much like My YWS, and it's now much easier to navigate around.

An added benefit to the current setup is that it's much easier for me to edit and add onto. So pretty soon I'll be adding a Reviews tab for those who miss that, and eventually a Friends tab.

Ooooh purty ^^

Love it!

Ooh, pretty. ^^ I like the tabs organization and being able to see all the pages in a guestbook!

*Winces at bringing this up* I just noticed there wasn't a place to view blogs on a user's profile. Will that be coming back, or will we have to stick with the blog page?

Of course not. Why would I make your blog accessible from your profile? That makes no sense.

Just joking of course. You'd think making your blog accessible from your profile is easy, but it's not. When I set this up last night, I couldn't figure out how to do it, and I just spent three hours of a beautiful Sunday afternoon figuring it out. There's more than a few things you need to deal with. First, is just the blog url. But, you don't want to display the blog url if the person only wants their friends to see their blog. Similarly, you don't want to display the url if the person doesn't even have a blog. And what happens when the blog is marked for deletion, or a mod tags the blog as spam? Then there's the situation of permissions, and dealing with who can view blogs and who can't (guests & bots can't view blogs). Then there's the counting of the blog entries, etc.

Nothing is click and install. Even the tiniest of features can take hours to deal with.

Thanks for the answer! I was just wondering if they would be coming or not. :)

The reviews tab is also now listed in all profiles. You can not only view all the reviews the member has made, but you can also view reviews to the member's work.

This might be slightly off-topic, but how do I change the "Featured..." works part of my profile? I used to be able to do it (before I left on vacation) but now I can't. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for reminding me about that Xunnamius. You weren't able to before, but I just added it to the Edit Profile section of My YWS.

Also, fans of the old style of portfolios, take note! Go to someone's portfolio, and you can now view it by time once again.

WIN.

EPIC WIN.

*rains thousands of blessings of a long and healthy and happy life upon Nate* You're amazing and amazing and just flat out amazing. Win, win, win, win. Thank you so much, and I think you're brilliant. Awesome.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm having trouble finding how to add people as friends. Is there something completely obvious I'm overlooking, or is temporarily down?

Silversun-- Go to 'My YWS' and then click on the 'Friends' tab. From there you can type in the usernames of people you'd like to add! ^_^ You just have to be sure to spell the names correctly.

And Nate, seriously, loving the new Portfolio! =D It's amazingly user-friendly and the tabs make everything look so nice and neat. Sorting Portfolios by time is helpful, as well. I echo Dreamer. :P

*squee*

Quite lovely. I am enthralled!
