Thread: Helping out with site content

Yes this is due to AJAX. If you submit a new review and then try to edit it without fully refreshing the page it will confuse the code. It will still think the page is in the same state as before and try to submit the review again as a new one, breaking the review and losing it. Just refresh the whole page using your browser refresh button before trying to edit it again. Or naviate to another page and then back again.

I just submitted a small review for Another World, but after pressing submit, it just returned to the game's summary screen, and the review doesn't show up.
Normal site member reviews go into a validation review queue when they are submitted. I then check them and approve them from the backend. This is to prevent members registering with the site and then posting rubbish reviews or spam on the site.

If you submit any more reviews PM me and I will take a look and validate them for you.

BTW, nice review. I've promoted it to editor's review for Another World. Definitely the kind of reviews we are looking for.

Thanks

I'll try to improve my standard of writing in the future. As you might've guessed, English isn't my native language ... I used to write a lot more, but have become a little rusty of late.

Your standard of writing, and your English are perfectly fine. You have nothing to worry about.

Same here, that's why I have problems writing reviews sometimes. It always looks very simple and I tend to make grammatical errors. But I've already been told, and it also has happened, that the other UK guys just correct it, and after that it's fine.

And imo your review is just perfect

Shall we promote my review as editor's rating, or leave it as comment?

Your Battle Trucks review has now been promoted to Editor's Review/Warning.

I did a few grammatical changes and rearranged the structure of a few sentences in the review so it sounded a little bit better. Hope you don't mind.

I definitely won't be trying this game out. The screenshots alone put me straight off. I cannot believe that this was a commercial game. Most PD games from 1986 look better!

Bet the boxart for it was pretty good though. I hated that, games that looked good on the shelf that turned out to be crap once you'd bought them.

So what's your native language?

Dutch

Technically speaking, I used to be a British citizen, but I've never lived in the U.K..

Hey to you all,
Very interested to help with what little I have but am still unable to attach any files or add ons or what you call them.
I've taken photos of some 40 cd's I have here, some from the aminet collection (15) and some cover cd's from C.U. Amiga (21) and Amiga Format mags(4).Only too willing to scan the cd covers if thats a help also have about 48 cover disks from various mags, some original game disks, a manual from Action Replay 3 (whole thing still boxed, even have an original a500 box ( the carton the 500 came in, will send on a photo later ) although very tatty is still quite readable.
Also have a 12 disk set of complete amiga C on floppies.
Now I carn't say they all still work but if I can get a monitor to work on the 1200 or 600 then I,ll soon let you know.
Hope I can be a help.
All the best,
loopy.

P.S.
Also would like to maybe do a story on how the 1200 went into the tower. Even though its been 10 years since it was done, a few photo's and a trip down memory lane would be great. Do you think there would be an interest for such a story.
all the best,
loopy.
