Smile Hello Max and company,

This is not a suggestion for the Forums; it's about the main Archives site: As an Archives Reviewer, I would like to be able to edit my reviews after I submit them, so that I can fix typos, spelling mistakes, and/or factual errors. As it is now, when I see a mistake in one of my reviews, I have to request that you email it to me, in order for me to fix it. I'd like to be able to edit directly, just as we can do with our posts on the forums.

Also, on the Forums, we have access to all sorts of neat/handy writing tools (Spell Check, Bold, Underlining, Colour, Italics, etc.) that we don't have when we write reviews. On the main site, I can't even write in separate paragraphs. Unhappy

Is there any way, Max, that we -- at least Prog Reviewers -- could have access to editing, and these writing tools, on the main site? I, for one, would really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Peter

Hello guys,

well it is a really good idea !! Concerning the paragraph I reactivated them. Your previous reviews are automatically paragraphed (is it a word ? ) and the new ones will also automatically be.

Concerning, the spell check, bold, underline and italic .. it is not an easy task for us to do this for the Archives pages. So what I am going to do is to give you a couple of free tricks:

Free Online Spell Checker - http://www.spellcheck.net - http://www.spellcheck.net

To have part of your text in bold Text to bold

To have part of your text in italic Text to italic

To have part of your text underline Text to underline

For the RE-EDITION of your reviews , we will work on something, I promise !

For now ... If you got some correction to make, email me the new review corrected ... ( mailto:[email protected] - [email protected] )

How does it sounds ?

Thanks for your good ideas !
