I submitted something a couple days ago just wondering how long I should expect to wait to hear back from an editor. I really like the idea of the LTB coin platform and wanted to try writing about stuff in the Vancouver scene.

I think if you contacted @adam via PM, he can help you.

I grabbed his attention here, so hopefully he will reply.

Yeah, me and @cherapple too. :) Adam's busy enough, haha!

Time to hear back from an editor is usually a few days or even sooner. It depends on a number of things, really. Sometimes there's nothing in the queue and at other times we're overwhelmed with a pile of posts coming in all at once.

Also bear in mind that despite training several people as editors (which also takes up our time) it's only a core of two or three regulars right now and they are all voluneers with just a nominal LTBc reward.

@phobosbtc I see you have a post in the system currently set to "draft". If you're waiting on that one, you'll have to set it to "ready" and then save that status, as per posting instrucions for us to get to it.

It was just looked at and sent back to draft.

Is there issues with markdown formatting and the LTB writing tool? none of my links were displaying and even this post from the front page only has about half the links displaying properly. http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-136-the-head-or-the-horse-1 The ones not displaying properly are in the exact same format that it says to use here http://letstalkbitcoin.com/markdown-formatting and other places on the internet. This is how all of mine are displaying when I hit preview

@phobosbtc I use Google Docs and then convert Markdown via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-pastr/pjeclabeidkcjhopjbgpiimlaccpdkgk http://demo.agektmr.com/MarkdownPastr/

it has some quirks but still a helpful tool

From our editorial Trello board, I can see @cherapple also sent you some comments. If you are not able to address those issues after discussing them with her and asking any questions you have, a forum post would be a better platform to get the word out and start discussion on your meet-ups with the content you have currently.

As regards the formatting issues, there are still some quirks with the system to be ironed out. In particular, special characters like smart quotes etc. wreak havoc with the markdown.

Also, on occasion, I have fixed posts that looked okay in the wysiwyg editor but displayed badly by copy/pasting them into a new post.
