E.g. “2016 10 24 1”

I realize this was undocumented behavior I was relying on, but I really need it to work for one of my goals. Or some other reasonable format (2016-10-24, 2016/12/24).

Also, if I try to enter multiple data points at once, the error message gets cut off so I can’t even see what format Beeminder does want.

It’s also rejecting data points with a harmless extra newline at the end.

Thanks so much; confirmed this is a bug (or 3 bugs). Will fix!

Should be all set now @kenoubi, let me know if you see otherwise.

(I think we got the “Y M D” bug and the trailing newline bug but still need to fix the truncated flash banner error message bug.)
