DZone could have much higher adoption if it had a more useable story submission process.

Thanks for this insight, and we'd like to assure you and everyone that there are dozens of new features and feature enhancements in our project pipeline. What we have launched is really just a newborn baby, and there are tons and tons of things that need to be improved to make this the best service it can be for the developer community.

That being said, we will prioritize the deployment of some "bookmarklets" to make posting a lot easier. Hopefully we can get something in place this week.

Thanks,
Rick

I reported a problem about this, and it's an easy fix.

As a developer, I don't expect sites to specifically try and avoid letting me open content in tabs in the background.

All the story links use javascript, so that even if I open a story in a new tab, a new window pops up.

Hell, the logo itself, uses the following:




onclic? window.location? Wtf? What happened to using the best tool for the job? I would expect any developer to have heard of html anchors. This just degrades the credibility of this site.

I don't mean to sound so snarky, but it's extremely irritating for an otherwise great resource.

On a completely serious note, I don't intend to keep using this site if the links to the stories aren't fixed. I consider them completely broken, and unusable. I know for a fact that I would not be the only one to feel this way.

it also didn't escape my html tags to plain text, like most sites do when they tell you html is not supported.

well, the point was the log is an img wrapped in a div. the div has onclick window.location = /

We're in the process of dealing with both issues you have mentioned. There was also a minor hiccup in our reporting process that prevented the mail we sent you from reaching you. This is also going to be revised today. Thanks for the reports.
