Tell HN: Bookmarlet and Sharing Link Broken

1 point

4 years ago

I use a Chrome extension[0] to share links on HN. It is based on the official HN bookmarklet[1]. It looks like that the sharing link has changed or broken now, as it has stopped reading the title present as a query parameter (t).

For example, when I try to share via this link:

`https://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2F&t=Hacker%20News`

it should read the `t` parameter, and auto-populate the `title` field of the submission form. Now, the form has stopped reading the `t` parameter.
