You have to toggle the editor itself.

When I include quotation marks in the news submissions it adds a / just after the quotation mark.  I figured this had something to do with my unique setup but noticed it today using a different OS and browser.

It seems to correct itself shortly after I've noticed.

Fixed the long-standing formatting bug on previews so line breaks should appear properly now.

It's not "fixing itself", the response from the JavaScript updating is still escaped, but when displayed on page load isn't.

IGN news posting problem.

Relates to pics and video posted.

The duplicate story link checker is running into a roadblock with IGN now.

The problem? IGN's links to new screens/video all lead to the same page per game title.

So if there are for instance 7 sets of new pics for Final Fantasy XIII throughout a year. All 7 links will point to the same media page for FFXIII. Which the link checker will stop you posting, despite the change in title name.

If it's something like that where you feel the need to post the same page again, add a descriptive GET parameter, e.g.

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/826/826843/imgs_1.html

to

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/826/826843/imgs_1.html?updated=2009-12-3

or something along those lines

Just add: ?updated=2009-12-3 (changing the date as needed) to the end of the link. This will allow you to post repeat links in the news.

What date format is that because in europe we do the date like this:

12/3/09

12th March 09 and I think in the US the day and month are done in reverse?

Also, new bug Yoda.

When you edit an update the link messes up and becomes invalid. It seems to chop it in half and you have to go recover the link from up top.

ISO 8601 International Standard.  In Canada we get both US and British formats constantly, which is stupid.  We're worldwide here.

But it doesn't matter.  It could be ?PB&J or ?You=Suck.  They're parameters that will be ignored.  The point in a date would just be more semantic info and would always be up-to-date.

We don't want repeats in the first place, so it shouldn't be so inviting to write them.

You could just do '?'.  Once.  Then it would be a repeat.  It also wouldn't say why you did that.
