#4 I have been caught out this way in the past, and it might be a minor technical thing. While writing or pasting the headline, or the article for submission, I accidentally hit the enter key and it posts before I'm ready.

I *think* it was when I was manually typing in a headline different from the original article. So a simple test would be to type something in the title, text or source box and hit the enter key. If it posts, that might be the problem.

#5 The space key will submit the article if the tab is on the submit key as well, so it is not necessary to hit enter to post an article; the point being in posting articles is to take your time and if you are in a hurry, just don't post.

I have several instances on any given day in the course of rewriting Mexican news that hitting just the right combo of keys will cause the text to highlight and disappear.

In that case, all you have to do is to go to edit and select Undo as many times as needed to recover the text you accidentally deleted.

And when you post it may be helpful not to close a browser window when you are done because if you do make a mistake, you can then see what you did, report it to the mods in the O-club and we can clean it up from there.
