Plea HN: Please use the HN bookmarklet
When submitting external links, please could you start using the bookmarklet tool available here http://ycombinator.com/bookmarklet.html because if you're submitting a URL that has been submitted before, it will redirect you instead of posting a duplicate.
*I know there have been many discussions about the bookmarklet, but the more we drill it into the community, the better posting etiquette will get.
- slater 16y agoIt also redirects you using the regular submission form; i've submitted many a site or news item only to be redirected to an existing thread. Methinks there's something wrong with the filter.
- timrobinson 16y agoDuplicates normally have slightly different URLs: maybe an extra /, or HTTPS instead of HTTP, or added query string parameters.
- kovar 16y agoI'm sure I am missing something, but if this is the desired behavior, why not mandate it in the UI, why give users the option to not use the bookmarklet?
