Non Review replies in source reviews

ad

Caught up in the moment, reading a source review, on a couple occasions I have realized after the fact that I have just bent a rule, replying to a review. On these occasions I usually don't realize it until after I get an email from the post, go and look, and it is a Mod saying its "not a review take it to Intro". On these occasions it is usually my attempt to provide information to a newer user than myself. It gets confusing onening email links half way down a page and not knowing whether you are in a review forum or an intro forum.

How do you take it to intro without replying? (friend request, wait for an answer, try to remember why you sent them a friend request, PM them to meet you in intro, or PM them the comment) There has to be a better way. Maybe remove/disable the reply button, or give it a different action like, send postor a message?

Please help!

I want to be good, and helpful, I just get confused. ;-P

Did you not notice the text in the box where you type your review in?
There are basic rules explained and a god damn arrow just above the submit button pointing to a link that takes you to the supplier's introduction forum thread.

how do you miss that? Biggrin

Hi BFG,
Maybe I didn't explain well enough. Just like what I am doing now, I got an email saying there was a response to a forum comment, I clicked on the link, it took me to your comment, I read it and clicked the reply button on your comment. It doesn't take you to that text box with the writing in it, it just opens a reply window. Some of the time its way down the page and you don't see that your on the review page. Hope that helps to explain the situation.

Thank You

Ah got it now, I read too fast some times.
I never noticed that but then again I don't do reviews. Interesting problem though, I'll probably address it in the next major update.
