At first, I read it correctly. Then when I read this thread, I keep seeing it as New York. xD

Hoorah! Yes, I'd rather copy my piece, together with all of its font modifications, from my word processor than copy the text only. I REALLY think it is more productive since we can easily design our pieces, thus quickening the publishing process. I hope that modification stays!

Oh yeah, just a question. Are the 'Edit' 'Delete' etc. links up yet? I heard they are, but when I checked, they're not. If not, when will they be put up?

Help! How do I get to the fanfiction works section? Or any other genre section for that matter.

Click on the tab that says "Browse"
On the left click either Novels or Short Stories
Click Fanfiction from the list.

Thanks for reminding me about the broken links. I'll create a fix for that in the next couple days.

Notifications will be going live later today. Commenting on profiles should also go live today, although that's less certain.

By the end of the week, we'll also have a real front page again.

I don't think they're up yet.

For notifications, can we possibly get it so that whenever someone replies to our reply (as in, a review or something) we could get a notification? That way, if a writer asks us for further clarification, we can know really quickly. :)

By edit and delete is that referring to options for your own posts? Because I have that on my own posts, if that helps.
I don't always write on forums, but when I do, I prefer YWS.

I really like all the changes for the most part, but keep wondering why on the 'add new work' tab the submit space is so tiny? Am I not doing something right? :shock:

Yeah, I couldn't find it right away. I think it should go next to blogs, as well as a button for "review works."

I believe they're referencing the ability to edit/delete your own stories. You should be able to edit your own posts on the forum layout, but the browse area doesn't use forum coding. :)

You can stretch out the submit space by clicking the bottom right corner. That lengthens it, but doesn't make it wider.

Notifications are going to be a bit delayed. I decided it makes more sense to build them into the new profiles, which are of course not ready yet. However, I have started on the new profiles and will hopefully have something together very, very soon.

By "very, very soon" do you mean in a week or so? That's what I've been told by other YWSers, and I'm wondering when the profiles will come, I'm excited.
