I don't post a lot of vanities, but today, I just had to rant. Someone posted an article this morning and entered the SOURCE URL where the SOURCE should have been. No big deal? Well, it is to me, at least on my computer. When someone does that it totally screws up the INDEX page, and instead of seeing a list of articles AND the material in the sidebars, all I get to see is (depending on how long the url is) a portion of the header and none of the sidebar. It makes it impossible to read Free Republic.
So PLEASE, learn the difference between SOURCE (such as the New York Times, Washington Times, etc.) and the SOURCE URL (the URL for these places). Have pity on an old lady who just wants to read the FR news!
So you don’t like the ID ten T errors?
HEAR HEAR!
Seems like it would be pretty easy to put some error trapping code behind the Source field that would reject the entry if it started with “http://";
COul you post a link to this nefarious deed so we can see what you are talking about?. I understand the error but I don’t see anything wrong on my computer with the index page or sidebars....
Nice rant. Clear, concise and, compact.
I give it a 9.4! (a screen shot would have garnered another .5) LOL
