Review count - Arrrgghhh!!!!

MerricB · 27th February 2005, 08:25 AM

Arrgghhh!!!! Someone added a "review count" to the user information.

You know what that is, don't you? It's a challenge!

...and one I'm terribly behind in, with no chance of catching up.

Arggghhh!!!

Oh well. I've added a review of Races of Destiny. Take note of it - I've given it a lower score than Joe did. That's fairly unusual.

Cheers!

I like it...though it was a bit confusing at first when I glanced at the side to see that a fairly well known poster here who registered way back in 2002 had only 1 post.

Yup, I noticed that, too, and arrived at the same conclusion: it's a ploy by Crothian to provoke even more jealousy and wondering than with his mere postcount.

No one is stopping you all from doing reviews. In fact, it is a great way to help out the people and look cool at the same time doing it. Write Reviews!!!

Yeah, I think it's a nice idea. And look at how fast Crothian caught up to me. At one time I was ahead by about 100. Now he's past me.

I don't own 154+ game products, so I'm not even going to try to catch up.

Still, I have 2 more reviews than a lot of people.

You slowed down. Now I try to get a few every week and have really committed myself to doing so. It can be tough.

Remeber, most of mine are PDFs and they are easy to aquire and collect.

Question, Can I review too?
:\

**Morrus** · 28th February 2005, 03:40 AM

Everyone can review, Truth Seeker. It's just the same as posting on the boards, only with a slightly more formal "standard" expected. If you go to any product, you'll see an "Add Review" button.

If you need any help, check the FAQ - there's a whole bunch of info there.

Michael Morris · 28th February 2005, 03:40 AM

I don't see why not.

Review counts start at 1. If you have 0 reviews the system simply omits the line.

Yeah, it's another piece of non-essential information cluttering up the screen but at least it's not quite as useless as post count.

I noticed that I had apparently written a review so I went to see about it.

http://www.enworld.org/reviews.php?d...viewid=2008983

I didn't write it but at the bottom it has been signed by someone named "Neo" who I assume is this person -

Crothian · 28th February 2005, 06:01 AM

That's funny. Before the names were seperate, so I guess Neo signed on as Mark in the reviews database. When they were moved over and connected to the message boards the names were linked, and Mark got linked to Mark and now you have a review. As of now, I don't think we can do anything about it. But hopefully when the review site is bugless we can fix this. Thanks for pointing it out Mark.

Not only can you, you are encouraged to. REviewing will make you happy. And Happiness is Mandatory. If you have problems or anything that you can't figure out, post in meta or drop me a PM.

It can be copied, deleted, and then reposted under Neo's name.

Michael Morris · 28th February 2005, 05:14 PM

Mark, I forsaw the machine getting some reviews wrong so I had it store the name of the old poster's name on a field with the reviews. I intend to build a tool to reassociate reviews with reviewers.

For example, Crothian has several reviews under an alias Crothian PDF that need to be associated with his main account.

Actually deletion is not an option at the current time.

**Darkness** · 28th February 2005, 06:32 PM

Were there any review comments under my board name? 'cause I didn't make any.

Just curious.

Crothian · 28th February 2005, 07:03 PM

There is no simple way to view comments. One has to goto the review each indivudally and see if comments are posted abotu the reviews. We used to have a way for admind to moniter comments by listing all that were posted in chronological order. That was useful.
