Newsstand article submission formatting weirdness

2013-02-10T18:09:37+00:00

For the first time I got bitten by the bug that mangles body text submitted with articles to the news stand. This is the one that often results in duplication of the pasted text along with a stray ” cols=“100” rows=“20”> line thrown in for good measure.

I believe it is the result of a tag, at the very least a hyperlink tag, enclosed in the quote tag. My original submission had two links to photographs from the news story and the opening hyperlink tag of the first photo link is the part where the bogus duplicated text begins outside of the desired quoted text area. This unquoted text is then followed by the cols/rows broken elements which is then followed by the complete and correctly quoted text.

Unless Repoz messed it up when approving it, then all bets are off. :- )

Pictures speak louder than words in this case, so I refer you to the thread in question here:

Hope this helps, and thanks for any corrective action that you take, Jim.

Firefox is unable to access the site. The page says only “Disallowed Key Characters.”

No problem on Safari.

I am constantly having to log-in a again on my Blackberry device and actually can’t access the forums that require a log-in on that device. I am also having to log-in every time I change from one device to another despite having auto log-in checked on all devices.

New User and Forum Discussion

2012-04-10T12:19:35+00:00

Perhaps I’m just not used to how things should be done as I’m new here, but was wondering how you can join in on certain forum discussions or topics. I’ve noticed that some do not allow you to post. Do you have to subscribe to the topic? Not sure how. Or perhaps some topics are closed to posting by new users for a period of time, which makes sense, and I might have missed in the TOS somewhere. Thanks for your help.

Jim, avatars in the forum just turned on again. It happened to most, if not all, of the forum regulars.
