Pwnership is granted...
This feels like it should be an early scene from an 80's teen sci-fi and/or horror flick

I clicked on it and am looking at a puffalump post scheduled for 6/20/25 at 420. Totally sharing this early.

I think it resolved itself, but that is fine with me. I dont have the time to send a message to the kinja helpdesk

Magic fortune telling.

I think all authors have that button, but they can’t actually manage anything else than their own stuff. It’s cool to be able to watch drafted articles though.

It doesn’t mean you have any moderator powers. It just lets you look at scheduled posts, users, the ban list, et cetera. Everyone has it.

Everyone* has had this, for like 4 or 5 months, maybe longer. It’s nothing, click away, the important stuff is actually there, but you can’t modify it unless you’re an admin or the blog owner.
*everyone who is an author on that particular blog.

Yeah saw something by E.julius scheduled for 2020 asking how stuff from this year turned out.

Click on it. It doesn’t do anything much.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:50 |

Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t give people mod powers.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:50 |

Nevermind, its all sorted.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:51 |

yeah, I checked into it and its no thang.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:51 |

Roger that, didn’t know the proper course of events for informing the right folks about this stuff.

The only thing that does that is sending Party-vi $50 on Paypal.
I mean, what?
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:52 |

No worries, I overreacted, I guess its been like this for months.

The “Manage” function is how you alter drafts. If you have authorship and not mod-ership, you can only alter your posts.

doesn’t bother me man, just hear for the car-maraderie and the esprit de petrol

It looks like it’ll let me change things. I didn’t, but.... It’s a thing that happened. But just the blog avatar and the top bar.

The best I can do is 73 cents and a blue M&M.

Oh, okay. I really haven’t been posting much lately so I missed it until now.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:55 |

Posts that are scheduled for future release also appear there (and apparently you can comment on them as well).

so weird, kinja is best kinja
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:57 |
|
Well then the best I can do is not a damn thing.
*eats M&M*
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:58 |

Do me a favor. Test to see if you actually can change them. This isn’t a trap. I’m genuinely curious.

Is today the day the Mods stand against the wall?
![]() 01/27/2016 at 13:59 |

Ummm... I’ll try. I’m still nervous.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:00 |

Not really
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:00 |
|
If you can, it’s a bug that should be reported, or not, maybe we can have chaos reign for a while until it’s sorted out. LOL.
ETA: this is how I test bugs. By making the poor choice to actually press the button and observe behavior. =)

Well it makes sense for the parent Gawker sites where staff can save drafts for editing before they get published. Here, it doesn’t matter as much.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:03 |

no the commenting on future (not-yet-posted thing) is weird kinja
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:04 |

Not again .
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:05 |
|
Me too! I’ma make some changes round here!
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:06 |

I have it- I clicked it and all I see are future scheduled posts.
Wow, I can see into the future. I must be a wizard.

Ok. If you spam click the “blog image” button:
^^Right there, it eventually brings up a menu where you can search through the files on your computer. When you select a file, it gives you the little loading icon that’s the three dots. And then nothing happens except you get a network error message.
Seriously weird.

That is weird, I would assume that you fell into an area where there isn’t a permission specific error, but that you need to pass a permission test to actually achieve the change. Thanks for testing!

Well.... we’ve discovered something else new and wonderful about Kinja.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 14:24 |

There has to be a good story behind this one.
![]() 01/27/2016 at 15:02 |

Looks like someone gave you authorship.. and took it away...
Let us know if you think it’s a mistake and on-going... (via Help@gawker.com)
