And you just mispelled (misspelled?) "always" twice in the same paragraph in the exact same way. Nice one.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

The auto-accept has been changed so that only articles from me or Fell are automatically posted. Everything else will have to be approved by one of us. And by one of us I mean Fell, because I never bother with that side of things.

Also, SE, you're now an RPG department head. You should see some of the admin functions now, if you didn't before.

I may use you MoD, if you turn out to respond quickly

Tage, I saw. I'm not quite clear on what to do with them, though, if Fell is doign all the posting.

If I remember correctly, department heads are able to edit articles, as well as post blurbs to their departments. There was some other stuff originally, but as I mentioned before, no one was interested, so don't worry about it.

Well Tage changing it so articles mods submit go automaticaly to the waiting page has caused an unexpexted problem.  Now when a mod edits an article, weither it be on allready posted or one wateing to be approved, instead of changeing the article it makes a copy of it and resubmits it to the articles waiting section.  So if me or SE ever have a reason to edit somehting (I for one allwayse check articles meta tags) then there would be a real problem.  If fixiing this is a pain you can just go back to the old way.  It does bug me to have to log out to submit an article, but not that much.

I think that all link code should include _blank after the url.  This opens up a new window to the amazon or other store page, or a company page.  We don't want people to leave TWG when they click on our links.  This should be any link on site even ones that link to other TWG articles.  I know some people hate haveing new windows open up but again our goal is to keep people on site for as long as possible.  A lot of times when someone clicks one of those links they'll forget or not care to come back to TWG right away.

I have no problem going through all the articles in the next few days and makeing those chages if need be.

A new content window is MUCH less annoying than a popup. this is done frequently.

I think you're right. We'll need to edit anythign that comes in though, because not everyone can be expected to know how to do it. I'll start doing it on all my new articles.

Well HTML has the default set to allwayse open up links in the same window.  Is there a way (useing HTML or PHP) to change that default, that way we don't have to worry about it.

all you need to do is add
Code: [Select]
target="blank"into the link. Like:
Code: [Select]
<A HREF="http://wwww.happypage.com" target="blank">Go to my Happy Page!</A>
That will open a new window with the new page in it.
