[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 4446535, member: 1"] Tell me about it. I've done three, but I think i'll wait until the boards are a bit quieter. Here's the process I'm going through: 1) Each thread in the old data category is a product. Each post in that thread is a product description, a review or a comment on a review. We only want the reviews. 2) Create a new review in the relevant category. 3) Google image search to find a nice big image. 200px is standard, it'll resize larger ones down, so just err on the side of too big and you'll be fine. 4) Scan the review and pick a sentence or two to put in the byline field. The find a short paragraph to put in the short synopsis field - most reviewers have a decent intro or conclusion paragraph you can copy/paste. 5) Copy/paste in the name of the reviewer. That's gotta be exact, as it'll match that to thier member acvount. 6) Copy/paste in the entire review. 7) Use your best judgement to rate the product accoridng to what they've said. So, if they emntion the artwork was crappy, give it a low score on Production Value. If they say they're pleased at paying $10 for 300 pages, give it a high score in the Value for Money category. Sometimes they'll actually tell you how they arrived at their score, which helps. Bear in mind it used to be 1-5, and now it's 0-10. 8) Hit submit. Once you see it's gone through OK, delete the original and any corresponding comments so that nobody duplicates it. Plus we get a sense of satisfaction as we watch the number sin that forum dwindle towards zero. I'll give you mod powers in the reviews section, so you should be able to do all of the above! Thanks, I really appreciate this! [/QUOTE]
