Well I've already made it so the admin review queue had an Edit & a Preview button, I just need to add in some form of locking when you press Edit.

So, who's the funny guy that put call of duty into our Steam sales list?

Mystery of call of duty on sales page solved.

Whenever anyone adds a game to our steam sales compatibility list, if it's a package of games make sure you tick the bundle box, it's very important otherwise it will look for a plain appid which will be wrong.

We just had our first major spammer.

Guest article comments will be closed for a few days until they give up posting that stupid petition on every article. It's a human doing it, not a bot.

I have also setup a cron to disable article comments on articles older than a year to prevent spam on old articles getting through the cracks, we don't care about comments on old articles much anyway so it's a good thing to do.

If you have ideas on how we can prevent spam for guest posts I'm all ears.

Heh. Now I'm interested about reading this "petition", simply because someone put sooo much effort in posting it. Got the link to send me, liam? :D

As for preventing spam from guests, we could have comments with links need authentication from as moderator before they go live. Also maybe disallow comments with the same link when posted on multiple articles over a period a time.

It was a rockstar gaming petition to get gta on Linux, it's years old too which is annoying.

I may add the ability to have some sort of mod-queue for comments, it's a good idea.

Also completely unrelated: Headlines can no longer have a ? in the them. Lots of people across the net get bitterly picky about "betteridges law of headlines", so rather than argue GOL now won't allow you to post an article when a question mark in the title. Stops me getting annoyed at peoples pickyness, and stops people getting picky about that.

Is it just me or does the Steam Widget no longer work in articles?

Seems to work here for me (unless you mean a different Steam widget):

And now it's working for me as well... I swear my browser's screwing with me :huh:

It won't show up if you visit securely as Valve has no https on their widgets :( which is why for all articles we still need a plain store link in them too.

The dark theme is now only available to editors and GOL Premium users.

So, there's an issue I've been meaning to bring up for a while but keep forgetting (or conversely something I've brought up but forgot about). The mobile site has a page selector at the last article, which is great, but at the same time it automatically loads more articles if nothing is selected within a few seconds, which kind of makes checking on the latest comments and forum posts difficult when they suddenly get pushed down the page by more articles.

You can actually turn off the infinite scrolling in your UserCP, but still it would be nice if there's was a better solution of which I don't have one right now.

Small update: When an article is sent for review, it will send you to the review page rather than the admin home as it was bugging me.

The Admin CP-related alerts are behaving strangely as of late. E.g. right now I've got 2 alerts related to the Admin CP, but when I'm in it I can only see one (an Admin post awaiting review). Is there something wrong with a counter, perhaps?

It's a very elusive bug, one I've been trying to track down for MONTHS.

Whenever an admin does something that should remove a notification (approve article, delete spam report etc) it's supposed to remove one, but it doesn't.

I will be putting up a ton of revamped admin area code to do with articles today folks. Let me know if anything breaks.

I will also be replacing the auto-filter on swear words with a simple message telling people to be people, but it won't stop people clicking Post a second time and having it go through as some didn't like the auto-censoring.

New code is up including ability to save drafts in the admin area. A lot of backend code was changed during this so if there are any issues i need to know about them.

I am also putting up more new code tonight that completely changes how tagline images are handled, so keep an eye out for breakage for me.

Something to ask, should I remove the capitalisation on article titles? How do you guys feel about it?

I say keep it, as it least keeps things standard.
