[17:32:55] <Bytram> Blackmoore: excellent idea!
[17:31:05] <Blackmoore> anyway it might be something to add (at a much later date) along with a place to put comments to show why it wasnt either approved or ditched.

[17:19:27] <Bytram> Blackmoore: that makes sense. It could also be something that was left over from an earlier instantiation of the slashcode that has since become deprecated but the UI was not updated to reflect it. I don't know.
[17:11:00] <Blackmoore> well, that's curious, but considering when it was written i dont expect they kept a lot in the docket.
[16:34:54] <Bytram> best I can figure out at the moment.
[16:34:46] <Bytram> If you must, you can leave it unchanged by just closing the page. otherwise, need to save it and mark it to NOT display.
[16:34:12] <Bytram> some quick tests seems to confirm that once it has been previewed, there's no way to put the genie back in the bottle.
[16:33:12] <Blackmoore> meh. just dropping that for now. I'll get back to it later.
[16:30:56] <Bytram> trying again.
[16:30:52] <Bytram> but, text that I added into the Intro Copy field seems to have been lost.
[16:29:35] <Bytram> seems to affect what you see on the Submissions Admin page depending on what you select in the "Classification" drop down list.

[16:23:37] <Bytram> better for me to find where it was broken, on dev, than for us to run into it on production. right?
[16:23:00] <nick> remember, if it breaks... it's your fault ;)
[16:21:13] <Bytram> lol. Do you feel lucky, punk?
[16:20:54] <nick> heheh
[16:20:52] <nick> "A drop-down list that allows a submission to be tagged as Back, Hold or Quik. [TODO Find out what they each mean/do] "
[16:19:17] <NetCraft> ^ 04Wiki: 03Editing Process ( http://wiki.soylentnews.org )
[16:19:16] <Bytram> nick: try this page: http://sylnt.us
[16:18:56] <Bytram> let me see if I can find it... I think it's linked off the Editorial page???
[16:18:33] <Bytram> ISTR there's a doc on the wiki that might help.
[16:18:23] <Bytram> not sure, sorry.
[16:17:56] <nick> any ideas what the 'back' 'hold' and 'quik' options actually mean/do?
[16:17:38] <Bender> The current maximum UID is 4818, owned by dracovyrn
[16:17:38] <Bytram> !uid
[16:17:03] <Bytram> *that* was the thing I was thinking of, and I came to the same conclusion that you did. didn't really suit the purpose at hand. :(
[16:13:14] <nick> i think that 'update' button only does that field and the dropdowns, not the actual submission, which is why it didnt work when i tried to save an unfinished submission that way
[16:10:44] <nick> the blank field for text has the comment (if there is one) which only we can see in the submissions queue
[16:10:12] <nick> and a blank field for text, which im also not sure what it does
[16:09:58] <nick> it's near the a dropdown menu which has 'back' 'hold' and 'quik' options
[16:09:01] <nick> but i'm not sure what it actually does
[16:08:55] <nick> when you first view the submission, there's an update button in the preview
[16:07:43] <Bytram> I saw something a few days ago that led me to believe there might be a way to do it, but I can't remember what it was, now.
[16:06:07] <nick> yup
[16:05:53] <Bytram> that's about the best I could think of, too. it'll sit in the story queue, but won't actually go out. just be sure to set the time far enough in the future that it doesn not fall off the bottom of the story list.
[16:05:53] <nick> i've tried doing it in the submission preview but it doesn't work, it's not just an option as far as i can see
[16:05:09] <Bytram> Blackmoore: I wish I knew! I've run into that a couple times...
[16:05:02] <nick> you can only do it by updating it, just set it not to display
[16:04:33] <Blackmoore> how do i save my editing but not throw it into the list for approval? this isnt ready for prime time.
[16:03:29] <nick> not sure about that, but it looks horrible

[16:00:32] <Blackmoore> is it me or is the page http://theconversation.com missing formatting?
[15:58:57] * nick wonders if he can turn his laptop on to do some work without getting distracted by games
[15:54:09] <Bytram> 💩
[15:52:42] <Blackmoore> ok, useless meeting #1 is done, pile of steaming shit reduced to not so large a pile.. let's get dangerous :P

[15:09:01] <azrael> Bytram: yoyo
[15:08:43] <Bytram> maybe cause I also go online with my phone? I dunno.
[15:08:32] <Bytram> hrm. strange.
[15:06:44] <nick> Bytram, havn't had that problem myself.
[15:06:03] <Bytram> I wonder if the servers got bounced since last night? I had to login again on both production and development this AM
[15:05:15] <Bytram> azrael: g'mornin to ya!
[15:04:55] <Bytram> just saw that you slept well... YAY!
