Young Writers Society

Yes, that's it. I just checked my folders, and the chapter is in none of them.

@AstralHunter ->> I'll take a look into what happened, but for now, I've moved it into your folder for the novel and bumped it to the top of the Green Room.

Thanks, Nate! I can view the chapter now.

Unfortunately, another potential bug has come to my attention. I am at this moment having a conversation with TheClockworkConjurer, and my YWS tabs say "New Messages" and regularly change back to the normal heading, but I can't see the IM bar at all. This happened recently during another conversation too. I don't know if the heat wave here has something to do with it, but it's definitely strange. (I can see the conversation in the Chat Bar History, which is even stranger...)

To anyone who can fix YWS:

When I tried to post my awful new poem, to format it into stanza form, I know that I have to convert the text into Quote, then backspace and enter at the beginning of each line, then enter again for the breaks between the stanzas. I put it into Quote, backspaces, but when I entered, it would just go back to the double-spaced format, instead of single-spaced (or whatever it is). I don't think it's a problem with my iPad, and I have posted a poem before on it, so I'm not sure what's wrong. It is depressing my writing-mood. Just thought I'd let someone know!

So, I was in the process of saving a review draft, and then I got this error-message and decided to screenshot it since the all caps red letters seemed kind of urgent. As a side note, I still got this after refreshing the page a couple of times:

I'm using Chrome (Version 47.0.2526.111 m)-the newest one - and Windows 10-if you wanted to know.

Thanks~

@Caterpickle ->> I apologize for the delay in getting back to you! What you've described is the default behavior for posting poems on YWS. There's a way around it though by holding down shift while pressing enter for a new line.

I understand it's pretty frustrating, and there is a fix for it coming soon.

@Pretzelstick ->> That error can be safely ignored -- it shouldn't be anything more than just annoying. Thanks for reporting it though, and there is a fix coming for it

So I think that this might be an error, that I have noticed for some time, but I am only reporting it now. The hall of fame, on my computer has apparently not been updated since Oct. of last year, and I (myself) was currently the preceding FM. I was wondering if you could look into this/fix that Nate.
Thank you.

I'm using Chrome (Version 47.0.2526.111 m)-the newest one - and Windows 10-if you wanted to know.

@Pretzelstick ->> Fixed!

Thank you Nate! I don't know if you are/are not aware of this, but chat bar (for a lot of users) have been acting up by making this weird bubble of text. There have been plenty of screenshots(several), but so far, noone has reported this bug in the thread.

Hi! I'm using a Chrome version 48.0.2564.97 m on a Windows 9 thing. The time was 8:45pm CST, and I went to look at the leader boards (which are looking awesome with the points + reviews, btw). I was obvs. not on the leader board for the month, but it shows what rank I am at the bottom, so I check it out. Says I'm rank 112, which I can believe, but tells me I got 1125 points from 9 reviews, which is just not correct (I only did one!). This points and review amount is the same as the last person on the review board (15th), which is currently Falconer, with 1125 points and 9 reviews. THANKS!

Edit

I realize the first post says report only bugs that make the site unusable, but I figured you'd want to know this? Well, I'll post this warning...

This has happened a few times, and at first I attributed it to a one-off fluke (a work from December showing up in November in the Green Room), then I noticed it kept happening. This is one of the largest gaps:



Right above it, there's a work from December 5th in with December 1sts. At first it just seemed to be right where the "load more" window is, where within 2 or 3 of that mark newer works jump up, but that screenshot is pretty far away from the load more button on either side.

Chrome Version 48.0.2564.109 (64-bit), Mac OS 10.9.5

@Pretzelstick ->> Heh, I hate it when people do that instead of just reporting the bug! Thank you for doing so

I'll go ahead and take a look at it.

Edit

The chat bar bubble bug is now fixed. It was a conflict with the CSS styling added in the leaderboards update.

@Hannah ->> No worries about reporting non-critical bugs! I should update the first post -- I forgot that was there. I'll figure out what's going on with that.

EDIT

Leaderboards bug should be fixed now.

@Rosendorn ->> What's going on with the dates in the Green Room is that the author has bumped them. Bumping gives it a new timestamp and moves it to the top of the literary area, but it doesn't change the work's order in the Green Room. So in the screenshot you posted, the work was originally published on December 4, but bumped on December 26.

It is confusing though even to me, and what I should do is add some kind of notice to it in the Green Room (e.g., posted on X, bumped on Y).

That would be helpful, Nate! Good to know what's going on.

Hi Nate,

I have been trying to help someone out with editing posts in a club's forum. As an admin, you have the ability to edit the first post (the topic) but for some reason it's not working. I hit the screen here:



^There I'm trying to edit the post by adding dashes to the beginning. I hit "Submit" and it doesn't edit it. It just goes back to the original post:




I know clubs are weird to begin with, but this definitely feels like a bug.

I'm using Windows 10, Opera - 35.0.2066.37

For reference, this is also happening to @ScarlettFire, her specs are below.

Windows 8.1, Chrome Version 48.0.2564.103 m

Yay, the leader boards show me with my sadly sad one review (thanks to @Pretzelstick). Thanks, @Nate!
