MY XIMMY EXPERIENCE
Here is a tutorial on how members of Ximmy can change/edit their already posted submissions at Ximmy.com.
This is in response to the following comment made by my friend:
You see, Benna posted a submission entitled Ledger's autopsy results. The submission link was suppose to go directly to the linked Yahoo article. The problem I encountered when I clicked the title was that instead of the link going directly to the Yahoo article, it went directly to the main page of Yahoo.
So, I commented on Benna's post (highlighted green in the screen shot above) that the link does not work to which Benna replied (highlighted yellow in the screen shot above) that she wanted a change in Ximmy which will allow mistakes in posted submission to be changed.
Now, I've been into similar situations before, and from what I have experienced I can say that there really is a need to add some additional features, however there is actually an option for changing/editing posted submissions. This option though is not applicable to changes in the posted submission links. It only applies to all other aspect of the submission except the links.
Six Steps To Change/Edit Posted Submissions At Ximmy:
1. Go to the post that you want to change. I've highlighted a screen shot of a sample submission that I've made.
2. Click on the "admin links" section just below the title of the post you want to change/edit. It is the right most clickable link. I've highlighted it yellow in the screen shot below
3. Now, upon clicking the "admin links" a new clickable link appears just below the "Category" of the submitted post, it is the "Edit the title or description" link.
4. When you click the on "Edit the title or description" link, you'll see the page where you can change/edit the articles details of your submitted post.
As you can see there are actually two sections in the page. The first section is the un-editable portion, the "Source URL". The second section is the editable portion, the "article details".
5. Make the necessary changes to anything editable in your "article details".
6. After making the changes you can then click on the "Preview and Submit" button below the "Category" box at the bottom of the "article details" section.
After that, well, you have all the changes you made saved and it will instantly appear on your submitted post.
If your problem, though, is the "Source URL", the current setup of Ximmy does not allow this to be changed. However, one idea that I have to somehow solve, in a way, this problem is just to re-submit the article with the correct source url then just comment on the posted submission with the wrong source url and provide a link to the new submission with the correct source url.
