Yeah I may have done a boo-boo and accidently uploaded the new designs header info which removed the icons the current site uses...OOOOOPS.

I uploaded a new (less stretched) image for the Humble Double Fine Bundle article. I hope Liam doesn't mind my meddling...

That's fine, sometimes I just can't find a good pic!

I'm thinking for submitted articles it may be an idea to allow us to save edits made to them before they are published.
So that you can accept it later, if for example we've already had a good few news posts in one day so we don't clog up the news in one day.

Thoughts?

I like the idea. It could also be useful as a way of saving drafts of our own articles if inspiration runs out in the middle of writing one. ^_^

HELP!!! I'm an idiot and I accidentally published and article I was just beginning to write. I've tried to delete it but I can't! Can anybody erase it?

I'm so sorry... :(


Edit: I've tried to delete it via the Admin CP, but there seems to be some bugs with the Article Manager. Whichever category I choose, it shows the fifth page of articles, and it doesn't let you navigate them to get access to the latest ones.

Edit: After struggling with it a little while I realized I could just disable the article, so I did that.

Its all a learning process ;), i will sort those bugs out and I have a new idea as well - if you deactivate your own article have a queue for them?

Okay well the issue has been fixed, starts on page 1 now :P

I've discovered a bug in the Editors Picks managing system. I was doing some minor editing on my latest article, which had been picked by someone (thanks to whomever did it ^_^), and when I pressed the Edit button I obtained an error message stating that there were already 3 articles in the Editors Pick list, even though the one I was editing was one of them!

The only workaround I found is unmarking it as an Editors Pick and editing it again to mark it back, but I think the system should not produce this error when editing a picked article.

Sorry that was  bug on my list to fix, it's fixed on the new website :)

I finally got around to make a cron job that expires editor picks after two weeks, so feel free to pick a new one when any expire editor folk.
