Volunteer help needed importing reviews by hand

EDIT 2: I went ahead and did another one for Lords of Darkness from the last page of the original list, but when I tried to delete it it did a soft delete and left a placeholder, is that what it is supposed to do or did I miss something? [I said I would have lots of questions ]

When you choose to delete something you should have a choice of doing a "Soft Delete" or "Physical Delete". The latter removes it completely. Now that you mention it, Morrus never said which we should do but I assumed the physical delete.

Am I correct in understanding that you DO NOT want the comments?

That's right. Just the reviews!

EDIT: Also there is a second review in the comments that i have saved and will post after some more appear to keep from having them right together as you mentioned earlier.

Yep, each thread is a mix of reviews and comments.

You get two options - the one you want is the "physically remove" option, which totally vapourises it! You can either do that to an entire thread, or you can selectively remove individual posts from a thread (if there are other reviews still in the thread).

EDIT: Well I decided on a solution to this. I'll move the reviews now, and when I'll get home I'll upload the pics to them. (Unless someone does that for me )

Heh, I see someone did. Cheers .

 

[Morrus]

Yup, that was me!

I am only getting the "soft delete" option. This is the case from both the review tools menu and the moderator tools menu (tried both just to see if there was any difference)


EDIT: The site has been (almost) intolerably slow all day today, but it has been working. It may take 3 minutes to switch pages, load a new review, or practically do anything... but they are going through. I have managed to get about 4 done today and will keep chipping away. I am doing the soft deletes for now until I get the "physically remove" option, then I will go clean up the mess being left behind.

Don't worry about that, I just cleaned them out while I moved one .

And to the subject I came here now: I have suggestion, if it's possible to do. Right now I have to first download image to my harddrive and then upload it from there. It would save considerable time if images could be uploaded straight from links. Is this possible?

Morrus -

I just did another review move from old to new and I still don't have the "physically remove" option to delete the old one, just the "soft delete" option is all it allows me. I should be able to move several of these over the next few days, but I can't really clean up the old section completely as it stands. I will press on either way, just wanted to let you know.

I don't know what level of commitment you're hoping for but I can certainly contribute to this little project during quiet lunch-hours at work. Let me know!

Who's been uploading images to the reviews I moved? Not that I complain, saves me the job of doing it later at home . Just wanted to know who to thank. Thanks anyway .

I ran into troubles here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/old-reviews-system-data-ignore/118353-library-altinum.html

I can't find the publisher of that product anywhere. Actually, google-search only came up with few torrents and that's it. Is it possible that it's misspelled?
