Puzzled by the Reviews page


Hello,

I'm sorry to bring this issue up, since it's apparently been discussed a number of times already. Anyways...

I submitted a review on Slackware 9.1 yesterday. Now it says on the Review page that the last review was made by me, and on the Slackware 9.1 review page it says that the last review was made 03-11-2004, and I'm pretty sure that this date refers to my review. But, where is it then? Almost by rumour (since I can't find this info on the Review page itself), I've understood that reviews are being "refereed" before they are posted, but why is this info still there if my review wasn't approved? Also, I read in this post that the review count would be incremented at once after submitting the review (and later adjusted if it wasn't approved), but my count didn't.

Well, I'm a bit puzzled about this whole thing; I get the impression that my review somehow wasn't submitted properly. Any hints as to what has happened?

Another thing... I can't find any info on this refereeing scheme on either the Review or the HCL pages. I think it would be good to have that info clearly on those pages to avoid confusion. Or maybe there is such info somewhere?

Thanks for your attention. Best regards,

Stefan

Bebo,

Seems you've found a bug in the reviews section. Your review is on page 2, but the link to get to the page is missing. For now you can use the following link. I'll look into the problem ASAP. Thanks.

Aha, I see. Thanks for the link! I don't mean to be greedy, but my review count is still zero

The review count in the forum is for *products* entered.

Because you did not submit the actual first review/product. Your count only gets counted when you submit the product itself.

If you just add a review to an existing one, it doesn't add up on your counts in your profile.

This problem should be fixed now (ie. a review that spans multiple pages should now have a nav). Let me know if you notice any other problems.
