Is there a bug in the MeTa post category options?

Uh...I know I didn't post that last thread to Bugs. Can anybody else back me up on this?
Is there any way to track if it was somehow (spontaneously?) moved, Matt?

su: the default post location is to metafilter >> bugs. you probably forgot to change that by accident; i know i'm guilty of that myself.

Actually, that's part of the doubt. I specifically remember a second of questioning whether to put it in weblog- or mefi- related.

If you review what you have written, and then page back to change a spelling error or whatever, it defaults back to "bugs" and you have to remember to change that again also.

The default should be blank. That way the site could check to see if it's been properly set, rather than having no way to tell a non-selection from the valid "Bugs."

Actually, lucien, I just posted a thread to MeTa and I previewed, then paged back and made some changes, and the category remained feature-requests.

Oh, hrm, I seemed to remember it happening a week or so ago....my bad.
