Is the Hacker News bookmarklet broken?


I use the bookmarklet here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html

But when I submit, the page only has the URL of the page I'm submitting and NOT THE TITLE.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes—sorry. I changed the code that handles that the other day, and introduced a bug. And I thought I tested that part! but it should be fixed now, anyhow.

The bookmarklet is adding the encoded title parameter, but it looks like HN isn't parsing it properly.

Some problem, I have no information, but would also like an answer and/or fix. I've taken to Ctrl-C on the title before clicking the bookmarklet so I can Ctrl-V it into the Title field.

Ah yes, I use that trick for easily posting from a webapp.

Title indeed isn't parsed anymore or could be because of a %20 or smthg. I hadn't checked the cause actually.

Yes, the "t" query param seems be completely ignored.

I emailed the mods.
