Young Writers Society

okay, so i'm too lazy to go through 10 pages of stuff, so i'm sorry if i'm repeating a past question and wasting your time.

how do you get the words below your username? the ones in black...

Go to 'My YWS' at the top of the page and on the scroll down menu click 'Miscellaneous'. The second row down should say 'Custom Title'. Type in here what you want and submit it and then you should have the little black words below your name.

If custom title does not appear when you go to Miscellaneous, it is because you have not made enough posts to gain a custom title. (I can't remember how many it's supposed to be but there's a certain number....)

Hope that helps!!

How, why and when do you increase your number of stars?
And how, why and when do they change colours?
(Some of you have blue and red stars; why?)

Alainna is exactly right on the custom title thingie, and the number of posts necessary for it to become an option is 250. It's set high on purpose to reward users for contributing to the site.

How do you delete posts or better yet--how do you delete an account?

There's an 'X' button in the upper right hand corner of all your posts. Click that to delete.

Deleting accounts can't be done.

What do you do with Points?

Restate your question politely and using no caps.

Ah, Claud, what I was trying to say was how do you do this:

topic21417.html

But instead of having the URL for it. It's the topic title/ whatever I want to call it in blue. Like what Nate has done with the YWS blog in his signiture.

Oh, that's relatively simple. It's difficult to explain, so I'll show you:

Story

Except, you leave out the spaces, and so it looks like this:

Story

Hope that helps.

^ I told myself that one of these days I'll learn how to do that... Thanks for answering my unasked question!

um...i...fixed it??

turns out i was putting the url in the wrong section i put it in the profile instead of the avatar....

sorry for the false alarm....

I was wondering; how do you change your username?

How do you make a quote say "So-and-so Said:" rather than just plain "Quote:"?

...That's been bugging me for a while and I just can't figure it out.
