Do-over

February 20, 2006 11:55 AM

Can we get a redo? mickeyz just screwed up his post and put the body text where the title was supposed to go. Instead of deleting it outright, can one of our benevolent overlords repair it and put it back? It's a legitimate FPP, otherwise.

(Note: I am not mickeyz, nor do I know the fellow. I just hate to see a decent link wasted because of a mistake.)

You have made an FPP today. Why not repost it yourself? (with credit, obviously)

Or let him repost it himself. Why is this Matt's problem?

Yeah, I think he just made an honest mistake. It would be nice to bail him out just this once.

At least he didn't use TinyUrl this time.

Am I missing something? It's still a linkless post.

The thought had occurred to me, but I didn't want to do it without explicit permission, so I thought I'd ask for intervention instead. That said, mickeyz, if you want me to, I'll gladly repost your FPP intact.

This comment is what the FPP was supposed to be, jessamyn.

I'm guessing that when it was written somewhere in what ended up in the 'title' section there was a link - and I'm guessing MeFi automatically stripped that out. I'm also guessing Faint of Butt didn't guess any of that because he didn't supply said link for the post to be fixed with. But I'm just guessing.

I guess he posted the link copy in the headline field instead of the actual post area.

I guess I wouldn't have had to guess if I'd read the post above mine. Ho hum.
