Some Type of Like Button
I would like to "like" someone's post in a forum so they know I have read it or agree without me having to write a post to tell them.

Re: First Person (Sigh)
I wonder what they'd say if you just put "Say..." instead of "Let's say"
I never before thought "we" was first person and had to google it to see if that was true lol, I guess because I think of we as collective.

Re: Changes in Editing?
Can't speak to your situation but I hate rejections based on stylistic opinion or the editor's idea they could have done a better job. That's not what I know CC to be and I've sold 400+ articles in the past.

Whatever Happened with Walmart?
That was a 8hitty project. A number of my articles were rejected after I was already told they'd sold. I was not going to do continuous re-writes. I was taken off slack. No explanation was given just that they took the money back out of my account. Did the project go belly up or was it just my refus...

Editing Issue
An editor criticized a numbered list I included asking if it was necessary. I deleted it but thought I should have written a note to educate the editor who may be new that some online and print magazines like numbered lists even if they do repeat what's in the text. They are a quick highlight of wha...

Re: Ability to put back into draft
I know but I had a client who needed to pay credits and until she did I couldn't link to her and would have been easier to pull it out of general review to put into draft mode because, as it was, it was being looked at with links and first person written specifically for the client and the editor re...

Re: Egotistical Editor?
Yes, you're right. They changed it from "and work him or herself into a frenzy the next minute" The editor wants it to say "and be worked into a frenzy the next." I don't like the word "be" in there. The big problem I found was the insulting way the idea was expressed A...

Egotistical Editor?
Have I let my writing slip or is there an egotistical editor?. I'm shocked the editor would say it is "incoherent." I find the comment insulting. This article lacks a proper intro, and is awkward/wordy and incoherent. Every article must begin with an introductory paragraph. Introductory pa...

Ability to put back into draft
I may be missing something, but it would be good to be able to put something back out of review without totally deleting the entry after submitting esp when a problem comes up like I have had lately where I couldn't locate the request in the list. I don't want to have to resubmit it all after the cl...

Technical Issue
I asked a client if I could take her project. She said yes. She extended the date. It was an edit of her first person blog. I tried to link to her when I submitted and she didn't show up. I messaged CC. She says she even chose me as private. I did the other articles in the meantime thinking CC was n...

Make Long Submission WYSIWYG
Every time I paste my article I lose spacing between paragraphs. Enough with this nonsense!

Re: Does This Happen to Anyone Else?
I seem to always have the problem when I cut and past into the long area that my paragraph spacing is removed. I have to manually go in and re-do the spacing which is a pain. Why does this happen? It's very annoying.
