Man, I can't believe this.... I spent all that time working up an article, then forgot to give it a proper title & info. I just left the title as "new title" and put some random crap in the description so that it would save/preview. I intended to fix it later, but forgot about it until after I hit submit.
At times like this, it really sucks that we can't remove an article from the submission qeue, edit it, then resubmit it. I can see not allowing edits after an article's been approved, but we should be able to edit ones which are still pending approval.
edit: Looks like I did manage to find a successful way to re-edit the article while it's pending. I don't know for certain if it went through properly, but the title in my pending approval list is now the new title, so it -looks- like it worked.

How did you manage to do that? URL manipulation?
Essentially.
Since it's something which isn't "supposed" to be possible though, I'm not sure that it's a good idea to say how in public. I have no idea if it might cause problems if everyone starts doing it. I just did it out of desperation this time.

I knew about it for some time. You're right though, not something that should be leaked. Props for keeping mum. But I had an error in one of my articles that I recently used this method to fix, and it didn't work. It's worked in the past though, so I'm guessing Vertex did something in the coding to void it.
...and my article is already approved. That was faster than expected, approx 24 hrs.
Is it cURL or Javascript variables...
