  • I may be wrong about this, but I've just written a journal entry and I don't think I hit the new checkbox.

    However, I can see that my entry is now "pending"...

    It shouln't be! I don't want it to be! It's my journal entry! Give it back! :-)
    • I am pretty sure you did check the checkbox. I see no reason why it would've been submitted otherwise. No one else had theirs submitted. :-)
      • Actually, I found yesterday that, at least on this browser, clicking the mouse anywhere on the same line as the box selects it... don't ask me why, but it does, and this behaviour has made me select the box a couple of times now...
        • Yes, please please please move this annoying checkbox out of the way. I always accidently click on it (or rather the line it's on) a few times per writeup. You see, I tend to click outside the textarea to make my arrow keys scroll the whole window instead of just the textarea. And that is apparently a particularly popular place for me to click on. Likely because it's so large and pristine.

          Perhaps put it above the journal entry, perhaps even above the subject line, or otherwise, below the submit button?

          Funny, the "No Karma Bonus" checkbox doesn't behave the same way. (I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.1.) I actually have to click on the little checkbox square itself before it changes. And that's the way it should be, especially for such an intrusive checkbox. So, what's different between these two?

            Likewise :-)
          • I don't know what the difference is. But it seems totally wrong of Firefox to do this. It's very simple markup:
            <label>Submit<input type="checkbox" name="submit" ></label>
            Maybe it's the LABEL tag, but still, it should only select it if you click on the checkbox.
