Tell HN: Bookmarlet and Sharing Link Broken

1 pointsby twapialmost 3 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).<p>For example, when I try to share via this link:<p>`https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;submitlink?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2F&amp;t=Hacker%20News`<p>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.<p>[0] - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;pbbbcphofkjkmbadhjioamnnbphgeghd&#x2F; [1] - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;bookmarklet.html
