Quoting: liamdaweFor anything editor related it can be in here, for all other odds and ends make a new topic :)
No probs - I'd misinterpreted something earlier as saying that it'd be preferred if there weren't any bugs reported here. I know for next time ^_^
Any editor related bugs yes here, general site issues and bugs in a new topic :)

A few days back - Lists within lists now work.

Article titles will auto-capitalise every first letter so all the titles are consistent.

I am thinking two weeks is too long for editor picks considering how quickly our news progresses or do people think it's about right or too short? Just thinking if it needs any tweaking?

Yeah, maybe a week would be enough. The current editor's picks seem like from ages ago... :P

Since we can change them manually without much hassle, I'd say that it's worth keeping them for as long as they're boosting the number of views the articles we want to promote are getting.

I have to agree with muntdefems that one week is probably enough, unless we can think of a better way of handling it.

I have changed it to 9 days to be somewhere nice in-between.

Do you think we should separate the Bugs and Suggestions forums? Cause I don't think it's a good idea to mix in problems that get (quickly) solved with feature suggestions which may take awhile to implement. Or maybe a bugtracker is a better idea?

Probably a good idea to separate it yes.

Sales page will now add the currency sign if one doesn't exist to the rows, unless they are empty (so if you don't put one in, it will do it for you).

Bug report: when a currency sign is automatically added, the decimal point and the cents disappear.

I'd also like to ask you to automatically add the €uro sign after the price and not before, if it can easily be done.

Should work now, euro sign will also be in the requested place. Let me know if it doesn't work again.

Yep, Euro sign is now automatically added at the end of the price. :)

But decimal point and cents still get removed from the prices. Plus, if a price is lower than 1 then the currency sign isn't added at all. :(

PS: Should I create a new topic on the Bugs subforum for this particular issue?

Yeah keep bugs to the bugs forum from now on.

Games sales page 'add sale' section now works correctly if you check the PWYW box and don't enter anything into the prices boxes, oops!

The system now automatically sends an email when approving an article thanking them for submitting and giving them a direct link to it.

I think that will be quite handy for people to keep up to date on what they send to us.
