Question Links to Reviews from distro iso pages


Standard apologies here if this has been dealt with already. I couldn't find anything about it.

When following links to Review pages, I've noticed some odd things. I have three examples I hope will explain what's going on. All of them start from the Download Linux page.

#1 Mandriva
Clicking on Mandriva, I'm sent to a page listing the versions of Mandriva with links to the isos. Above that is a link called "Mandriva Reviews". Clicking this sends me to a page with the list of Mandriva versions and links to the reviews of each version. Works great.

#2 PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008
Clicking on PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 sends me to the isos for that Linux. Clicking on the PCLinuxOS Reviews link, however, sends me to the alphabetized listing of all Linux distros and their reviews. ??? I know there are reviews out there for this distro, I wrote one of them.

#3 Granular Linux 1.0
Clicking on Granular Linux 1.0 takes me to the isos. Clicking on the Reviews link, though, sends me to reviews for RedHat 9???? I'm pretty certain that Granular doesn't have any reviews yet, but I would suggest being sent to a page that says "Sorry, no reviews for this distro yet"?

This is minor, of course, but I thought I'd throw it out there. It's a pain for me because I like to look into the newer Linux distros and I wind up on that RedHat 9 review page an awful lot. Thanks for reading.

Follow-up: The three distros I mentioned are just examples. For #1, I would expect that clicking Slackware or another much used and reviewed distro would have the same results. For #3, using Lunar or some other small distro that hasn't been reviewed yet would yield the same results. #2 confuses me, though.

03/13/2009 - There seems to be lots of different link problems. It's kinda like navigating through a fun house.
If you go to the area where the distros are alphabetized, and you happen to click on the "p". You are shown versions of linux that start with "p". There are two pages. However, if you try to go to page 2, you get sent back to the pages of linuxes that start with "a". It's probably like this for other letters too.

If I find any more, I'll list them. Just for fun, of course. It's almost becoming a game. I'd like to see if I can get to 500 hits before I get a response.
