Just a quick note that the code in the reviews section has been updated. You shouldn't notice many frontend changes, but if you run across a bug or have any suggestions, you can post them in this thread. I'd like to thank david_ross for his continuing coding help.

Firstly - it looks very good. But I noticed today that there's no "preview" or "spell check" in there. Could this be added?

[Edit] How rude of me, hijacking a notice to complain about my spelling errors. Apologies [/edit]

what's with the viewing in brackets alongside the products on the reviews(index page). I was just going through and I saw that Fedora, Slackware, Mandrake all had some viewing X against it.

What's that for? I though it was the number of users browsing that section but it's not so. And the value changes too. It went down from 2 for Mandrake to zero. That made me believe that it must be the number of users.

I then opened all OS entries in new tabs and refreshed the revies index page. But that did not change the numbers.

Could it be the number of entries being scrutinised before being added??

LinuxLala, it is the number of users view each category. Since most http connections aren't stateful the last page you look at is what you are viewing. So regardless of how many pages you open up with the sub categories - when you go back and refresh the category page you are then listed as viewing the category page and not any of the sub categories. In effect you will never see a yourself being counted as you can't be in 2 places at once.

Thanks for clearing that up david. I thought that it can tell what all categories I am browsing like it can tell what all forums I am browsing.

Anyways...

It should be exactly the same as browsing the forums. If you view the General forum page you will obviously be in the list of users in that forum, if you go to the Software forum you will obviously be browsing the Software forum and not the General forum.

The difference is that the counter is on the page that registers your location.

oh... I get it now. Thanks for making that clear david.

Cheers.
