Comment:

 And then, you also need to update the post. The save button is extremely
 misleading.

 Keeping this open, because it's a confusing UI bug.

 Suggested UI change:

  - remove the edit/save crap, replace with a small text input
  - if postname is left empty, leave it blank
  - if postname is filled in, keep it
  - add a generate button to fill it in automatically
  - remove the postname editor, which is redundant
