[10:58:09] <Bytram> yeah, but it looks correct from within the story...
[10:58:10] <chromas> Well I also had to fix the typo twice too so maybe I accidentally the sub somehow
[10:58:20] <Bytram> am gonna try and change nexus out and back
[10:58:26] <Bytram> no worries
[10:58:50] <Bytram> my QA/testing padawan shows his improving skills!
[10:58:53] <chromas> Well now I wanna know how I did it
[11:00:06] <Bytram> me too!
[11:00:19] <Bytram> that didn't work... trying again
[11:03:30] <Bytram> HUH!
[11:04:08] <Bytram> So... I followed the original story link to the submission, and resubmitted it as if it were you, set to go out 1 minute earlier... and it is still showing no skin!?!!!
[11:07:24] <Bytram> finally!
[11:08:33] <Bytram> added breaking news as a nexus, and added a topic of news, too. clicked update. saw new nexus was "break" in he story list page. Edited again, removed the breaking nexus, hit update. looks okay now. !!?!!!
[11:09:36] <chromas> SoylentBurp
[11:10:21] <Bytram> yeah... *could* be a caching issue.
[11:10:28] <Bytram> first day of the month?
[11:10:34] <Bytram> PotM?
[11:11:50] <Bytram> anyway, I'm leaving my cloned version and removed your originally approved story. You'll still get credit. maybe twice, even.

[11:19:21] <chromas> I dunno if you changed it but the first Lithium Batteries was gray and struck out and now it's gone
[11:19:23] <Bytram> profits
[11:19:33] <Bytram> deleted it.
[11:19:56] <chromas> did you make it strikeout-ed or was it some rehash thing? I don't recall seeing it before
[11:20:09] <chromas> strikedout. struckout
[11:20:20] <chromas> so stricken
[11:20:56] <Bytram> dunno if that's a super priv I have, but I can delete stories... but to protect us from ourselves, it is listed for a few minutes, with a strikeout, so it can be recovered if it were unintentional/accidental
[11:21:15] <chromas> ah, neat
[11:21:22] <Bytram> during that time, it is listed as struck through to flag that it is imminently going to disappear
[11:21:32] <Bytram> then the timer trips and ... poof!
