Review section feedback

PolarityMan

Just noticed the reviews section and seems like a nice idea....Might be wishful thinking but what about a section for music reviews, particularly for members bands / gigs. You could encourage participation by awarding a badge for writing good reviews or something like that?

Not a bad Idea.

We will have a chat about it in mod land.

Ta dude

On further observation is that the character limit is a bit short for a really in depth review, I had to split mine over 2 posts. Not sure if its possible to raise the limit jsut for that subsection but might be a good idea.

It's a limit imposed by the crappy text editor rather than anything we apply.

We do have an alternative editor in the testing process.

You've got some formatting embedded in the text (did you copy/paste from elsewhere?) which annoy the character-counter in the text editor.  Normally I'd expect you to have been able to post all that content into a single post.

nope, only copied the bottom section from the original post

PolarityMan

did go via a draft though

see here ...

all fits into one post - if you compare the source views you'll see that your posts include a lot of font tags (which the editor seems to count as characters towards the post count limit), whereas mine is "plain text".

I guess it didn't it when restoring from draft.
