new create entries beta

[denise]

We had the old "new JS on journals" beta reporting entry as the topmost entry in this comm, which was causing some confusion! So, a fresh post for people to report problems they're having with the new Create Entries beta.

Things not yet implemented:

* a WYSIWYG/rich text editor to allow people to post formatted entries

* the ability to save draft entries, both so you can deliberately postpone entries for posting later and so that an unexpected browser crash or problem during the posting process won't cause you to lose work

* admin editing of community entries

* the "don't autoformat" checkbox (we can't quite figure out which pane to stick it in!)

Things that will be documented once it comes out of beta, but some people have missed:

* if you don't like the placement of panels or don't want to see certain panels, you can customize the placement and which panels appear by using the " Settings" link in the main toolbar at the beginning of the form.

If you have anything else to report, please let us know here!

I was just testing the new tag entry (not super into it... I prefer the tags be pure text not the little boxes...), and I hit enter by mistake as I do sometimes and it tried to post the entry and got the usual error of me not putting any text in the body of the post.
Except... it wiped my tags when it did that. I don't want to have to re-enter my tags whenever I have a clumsy moment.
