ANYONE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH SUBMITTING REVIEWS????

vadimio · #1 12-03-2002, 07:38 PM

When I tried to post a review, I got a page that said Error. Please correct the errors below. But there were no errors at all! Everything was filled out, the body was long. But there was no pros/cons section to fill out, I think this is the problem. How do I fix this? I contacted the Eps bug team.

do your other reviews show up ok?

vadimio · #3 12-03-2002, 07:42 PM

this bug is for all of the products actually. Am I the only one with this?

that's not what I asked. I asked if your other posted reviews are showing up ok. Some people are having problems.

My rather unique bug is that I had to submit my Thorn Birds miniseries review so often that the quality suffered. It kept coming up Cannot Find Server so often, after I'd hit the Preview Your Review button, that I was about ready to throw my coffee cup through the CRT screen. That's the real reason why people rate that review H - I rewrote it so often it's just horrible.

Nothing like what you're experiencing, though.

Well, watch out for those first reviews. The more times you submit a first review, the more chances you have to run into problems.

We now interupt this thread for a friendly reminder...

Write your Epinions in a word processing program instead of directly into the field. Then if there is a screw up (remember Murphy's Laws?) you have a back up copy.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing, Bugs at Epinions- the Mini Series.

Yes, I was having the same problem several weeks ago. The pros and cons sections weren't showing up at all in the submission form, and I suspect that for some stupid reason the "error" is that you haven't filled them in. Nevermind that they weren't there to be filled in in the first place.

I'd already submitted a bug report and last I heard, they were still working on it, I think. I was able to submit my review by using Mozilla instead of Netscape--for some dumb reason, the pros and cons section shows up just fine on Mozilla. Until it gets fixed, I'm not sure what else you can do, sorry!

Or 'save' it early and 'update' it often...we've had this discussion before...:-)

I usually write Epinions in Word prior to posting. I also usually write e-mails in Word prior to sending them, too.

What really gets embarrassing is when you go to post an Epinion and accidentally cut and paste the E-MAIL instead.

I felt really stupid about that when I was trying to review an mp3 player and instead posted a letter to my Uncle Dave about which hemmrhoid remedies work best.

Surely I'm not the only one to whom this has happened?

Damn, I thought that one was Rich's.

I am going to go change my rate post-haste. Or do I mean post time ?
