New Create Entries beta, round two

[denise]

The next code push will update the new Create Entries page in beta with a number of fixes for previously-reported bugs and enhancements. To make it easier to keep track, we're therefore opening up a new bug-reporting post (to avoid confusing things with bugs reported in the previous post).

When reporting bugs, please include:

* The browser name, browser version number, and operating system you're using
* The steps you took to reproduce the problem
* Whether or not you've tested the same steps in another browser (and if so, which)
* Whether you get the same result every time you try the same steps, or if it only happens sometimes

If we can't reproduce the problem under the same browser and operating system, we may also ask you for a list of any browser extensions you have installed.

Things that are still not yet implemented:

* the "don't autoformat" button
* the rich text editor
* editing existing entries (it will display the old form)
* draft posts of any type, including autosaving of entries

There are also still some issues with IE, especially in "privacy mode". Anything that requires Javascript is currently not working in IE in privacy mode, and we're trying to figure out if there's something we can do to fix that or if the settings of the browser override anything we can do.

When posting an entry begun before another one is posted, the error message uses text messages suggesting:

...use the "Date Out of Order" option....

Except the option says:

Don't show on Reading Pages (allows dating out of order)

Even though the name does suggest (in parenthesis) that this might be the option, the error text should be changed to match more exactly the actual options available, should suggest something like 'use the "Don't show on Reading Pages" option, which allowed out-of-order posting' instead of "Date Out of Order."

*tsks at site text* We'll fix that, thanks for pointing it out!
