The thread you've stumbled into is the equivalent of a YWS newspaper, with each post in this thread being a news article. The focus of this paper is to give out a summary on the happenings of YWS at any given day and special features which tell about the new trends in YWS and current events. This feature runs all week long, featuring special coverage during events and certain occasions.

All members are welcome to submit their own news items. Keep in mind that all postings must comply with the YWS rules.

If you're an avid reader and want to pitch in or advertise or a concerned YWSer who wants to comment or ask us, then do so in the office at the Reader's Corner down below.

Reader's Corner
Spoiler! :
Submitting Articles
Submissions will be taken over the span of the day. Tomorrow, this thread will be locked and a new one will take its place. Anyone can post a news article or column as long as the topic is new, fresh, current and about the YWS or writing, art and humanities, is family-friendly and follows YWS rules.

YWS: Face-Lift

In line with the continuous changes in the website, Apollo also features a lot of face-lifts. The most recent is mostly on the sizes and color schemes of buttons around the site. Below is a list of the very few changes on the face of YWS*:

  • Message Notification
  • Reply button
  • Quick Reply Button
  • Sign-up/Register Button
  • Button icons for 'View New Posts' and 'Enter Chat Room'

*If we missed some, why not add to this article by using 'edit'? :D

Another helpful change is the Leaderboards update. The boards update on the front page now displays a literary work you can already review.

All of these changes are still aimed, according to Nate, to help YWSers enjoy more of what YWS can render.
