Things I think need fixed over there

[Crothian]

It is great to have the review site back up. But there always seems to be bugs and it just seems to me the review site doesn't get the same attention as other parts of the board.

I think we need a way for anyone to add and modify the products there. We can have that still need approval from mods.

I think we need a way for people to see what is being commented on. As it is now the only way to see if a product recieves comments is to actually click through all the reviews. Once this happens I think we can get some voulenteers to help organize the product lists, it has gotten sloppy.

I think we need a listing of best products based on reviews.

I think we need number of reviews a product has gotten alonmg with average score on the publisher pages.

We need to be able to delete some of those reviews.

We need to figure a way to get reviews back to the people they belong to

All of that sounds good to me, too! So... whom do we sue?

 

[Pinotage]

Completely agree. The reviews section is very important on ENWorld and could use a little attention. I'd add a 'number of views' to that list.

And it still does this whenever I post a review:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site database.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

When I go back to the review main page, the review has posted.

So? How do we get any of that done?

Well, someone needs to notice this that can do something. Morrus, or TwinRose, or even Spoony if he's still around. That's the only way I know though it rarely seems to work.

Currently I'm working 12 hrs / day on websites for Intermedia for 4 days a week, going to school on Friday and playing D&D on Sunday. Back when I did a lot of work on the site it was doing that instead of playing D&D (It always struck me as ironic that I was working on the largest D&D fan site on the web and wasn't playing the game because of working on that site). That leaves Sunday which I use to do homework or housework. Today's D&D game got called off so I'm spending the day looking up and trying to get the db backup situation resolved for this site. Then there's Nothingland, Nutkinland and Wizards of the Coast boards...

I'd like to fix these things too but at the moment my bills are behind because some payments due to me have been late and so I'm pulling overtime. And after 12 hours of staring at code the last thing I want to do when I get home is stare at more code - sorry.

 

[Crothian]

Can we see if there is an EN Worlder knowiable in whatever needs done and has a bit of free time to look into it?

 

[Michael Morris]

I don't personally have an objection to it.

 

[Crothian]

What kind of knowledge would a person need to be able to fix and enhance the review section? I know nothing of programming so I'm not sure what qualifications would be needed.
