Hi!

Today I tried to make new posts as usual but it said that the comment field is required because the category is not clear (or something like this) although I did set a category each time. Has something changed?

Yes, there was a big change to the back end of the code on the submit page. We're working through the bugs. Your patience is appreciated. If you see anomalies please post them here along with as much info as possible about how to reproduce the problem.

nic has his bug smasher out and can kill them quickly if he knows how to lure them out in the open.

Hi guys -- can you help me with exactly how you're posting? I haven't been able to reproduce this.

What browser / OS?

What are the exact fields you're posting with - a screenshot would be helpful if you don't want to list everything out.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay...I just saw another post about the Description being required; nic has sinced fixed this. In my case, I thought this requirement might be appropriate. You may think about requiring either a link OR a description as opposed to allowing both to be blank. I always felt the Descripiton field was duplicitous if a link was given. Why repeat what is already been described at another URL...ignoring the fact that links are fickle. More information seems to give the submissions more meat and forces the submitter to think a little about why they are submitting a map.

Secondly, Bing Maps no longer require geocode? nic is a genius.
