Test the new reviews system!

[Morrus]

As always, it'll need tweaking. I'll clear the database once we're satisfied it works correctly. You'll find it here (for now):

I'm also looking into a way to import all our old reviews.

I'll play around with this later when I have time. Thanks

Cool. It's quite different to the old system - better in some ways, not as good in others. The main disadvantage is an index page of a publisher's product; there are dozens of advantages, though.

Things like the ratings system (Production Values/Writing/Value) are customisable, so they're not set in stone. There can be as many or few as we want. We can reduce it to the single rating if we wish, or expand it more.

I've set the staff reviewers as moderators, so you'll have some options that most others don't have.

I've added a bunch of categories - no reasno we shoudln't review stuff other than just RPG books, right?

Plus, PDFs are in a separate section. My reasoning is that (a) the PDF version may differ from the printed version and (b) DFs are reviewed with different criteria - has it got bookmarks, is there a print-friendly version, etc.?

Posted one (452 to go!!) and I like it.

Any chance the old reviews can be imported.

Scroll up and read the first post again.

Wish I read this last night.

There's some reviews I did after the review system went down; I can post those.

Please do! It'd be nice to get the new section off to a flying start!
