 Jon, just wondering about the state of the "reviews to be checked" pile... the link seems to have disappeared to the "New Products" section. I guess 70% of the reviews I've tryped have been on odd kit not readily found at Cotswolds - and indeed probably not much interest to those living outside the Promised Land of NZ - and I'm sure some of them have disappeared down a hole in the space-time continuum. Or something.
Enjoyed the article on the Kinder trip BTW - went up Wild Boar Clough yesterday, dry as a bone (apart from the odd dead sheep with some damp and scroggy bones anyway) and an interesting way to get on to Bleaklow. Never really thought about 'gill scrambling' on gritstone...

 Hi Ben,
There's no products in the 'to be checked pile', they're cleared at least once a week and often between times. I for one have accepted a whole pile of your reviews, so they should all be up there. At the moment though, they don't usually appear in the 'latest reviews' pods, because the date is usually a couple of days behind the latest.

 How about having a link to recent reviews that shows the last month's worth of user reviews somewhere within the pod (look at me using techy speak). I tend to look there for the new reviews and if they don't appears there as Ben's probably haven’t they will just be buried in the whole review system and probably go unread until someone has specifically looks for one of them.

 I put two new products on last night, and just checked my emails to see 2 auto emails saying that they were pending, and another 2 to say they were completed.

Thanks Maria
Good to hear they're getting through, although that does make me wonder what happened to - just to pick a couple off the top of my head - the reviews of the Haglofs LIM 35 and the POD Explorer packs. I'm sure the space-time continuum must haver a few small holes in it...
Which reminds me of a quote from Steve Ashton, who wrote "Scrambles in Snowdonia". Should really be in the Favourite Mountaineering Quotes with the naked dancing girls but here we are anyway:
After an accident in the Alps his mind was wandering over what he assumed would be his inevitable death - and wondered if anyone would notice: "On the Great Fabric of Life, what was Steve Ashton is now just an invisible mend."

Yup, there was a small hole in the continuum, a dodgy piece of code a few weeks ago meant that when Jon accepted 3-4 products they disappeared into the ether. I guess if you submitted those consecutively they could both have gone, otherwise it is a mystery.
Sorry about that if they were yours that went missing. Sadly we have no way of recovering them (tech, grrrrrr)

 Are user reviews checked when submitted? I added a review this afternoon, and it appeared straight away... or is the checking just for new stuff that doesn't currently exist in the user review list?
|
|
Oh yeah, I see now... Duuuh... Sorry, stupid question. I'm still half asleep - it's only tuesday - got to give me until at least thursday to wake up properly.

 I submitted a new product review - got the confirmation email. the link in the email works - but the product still doesn't appear in the user reviews section. (buffalo lightweight sleeping bag)

I take it back - it is there now!
|

 I tried to add Anquet and Memory Map without any success!

Hi Bob,
Can you remember when it was you added it? Like I say we know a couple of things have been lost, but it should only be a couple, if it looks like more I've got to do some investigating.
