There's a review of "The Promise" in Movies ready to go, viewable by admins only, as requested.

Yes.  Sorry, should have said that.

Why do you keep changing my titles?  It's aggravating.

Not sure if this is the issue fish, but there is a character limit on the titles.  Sometimes the editors have to change them so everything fits.

Spriggo is indeed correct. When I got it, the title of the article was only "The Geek Girl's Survival Guide #13" which you had mentioned before that you didn't want as the format. I added "Story Telling" so that there would be some indication about the article in the title.

The title I was referring to was the one that was the subtitle when I submitted it.  

For example, a month ago when I did the one on "dating," it actually had a different title.  I intended to do another one that was actually titled "Dating," but now I won't because that title got used.  

I should probably just get over it.

Probably
THe subtitle also has a character limit. They get cut off a lot.

So... there's a review of "Poseidon" sitting in the movie section, ready to go up at your convenience.  Tomorrow might   be good.  Yes?

Skar you DO realise that Fridays are always taken by non-review articles.  Its kind of irratating to people when you try to get the movie reviews to replace allready scheduled articles.

Interesting.  That's fine for this one since it's not a brand-new release (it's a week old).  But you DO realize that when we get a press-screening, FRIDAY is the day it needs to post on whether there's a non-review article up or not.
Anyone who's irritated by my trying to "replace" the articles on Friday has obviously never read the HUNDREDS of posts I've made advocating the occasional double post on Fridays. There is no drive to "replace" Friday's article.  I was just suggesting that since a review of "Poseidon" is fairly time-sensitive perhaps it could go up on Friday, which is exactly what I said.

Your irritation is self-inflicted by some sort of scratchy delusion.
