The Journal posts in question seem to have been fixed. I followed the github post to its current end but am unsure… Has this bug been fixed @tiwane?

it looks to me like code was fixed and deployed: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/pull/3205. (hooray!) i thought the “regex… was greedy” diagnosis of the problem was funny.

Yep, came to post that I fixed it last night - was merged and deployed this morning (NZ time).

Thanks for the reproduction example @pisum. Made it easy to find!

thank you for fixing the problem! i’ve thought of trying my hand at fixing issues, but i haven’t yet convinced myself that it would be fun / efficient to spend the time needed to set up a dev environment for myself and learn Rails. so i’m glad there are others who don’t have my excuses…
