    Posted: December 05 2007 at 07:28
Just noticed the blogs in the front page, which I believe is a good addition...but

The reviews are presented without paragraphs and gaps...
I always write reviews with separate paragraphs because this helps the viewer
and does not confuse him or bore him; something that happens when he is
forced to read through an article without gaps and paragraphs.

Can we do sth to fix this? I believe that reading the reviews as they were written
in advance is much better, rather than throwing in a series of words to save some space.

(In the permanent link, they appear normally, but I would like to see that on the first page too)

Thanks in advance

Yeah, this isn't good, needs fixing. I'm sure most reviewers write with paragraphs and gaps, so it's just a bug.

The line and paragraph breaks do not seem to be displaying correctly for reviews on the front page. However, they do display correctly on the rest of the site. Thanks for your time.

I'll get M@x to have a look. Unfortunately, there are no long reviews which would highlight the problem there at the moment.

Bob, I think you can tell that ZowieZiggy, for instance, uses very short sentences in his reviews, and uses a lot of them. It is quite a difference now, isn't it?

Out of interest (though I could check myself), is this problem also visible within an album's review page?

I brought this up previously, just make sure tags are capitalized and they seem to work fine.

That's not accurate. I just noticed this when I (it's been weeks) wrote a new review, today, with something like 7 paragraphs now reduced to a single, impossible-to-understand-and-read mess.
 
Also, the reviews are at the bottom, what makes this website what it is is at the bottom. We have blogs and videos now.
 
Is this site a blog now??? Confused Do we have to join the MTV generation by having blogs and videos over... written reviews??

I'd prefer reviews at the top and the blogs at the bottom.  Also the option to see the latest 100 reviews should be restored.

nice to see the blogs getting a little love... but I think 3 is overkill considering ..as someone mentioned.. they are started so infrequently...  maybe one.. the most recent. Might be incentive to others to start others..

and those reviews.. do look crappy... if that is how they are to look...  maybe it is best to keep them at the bottom.LOL  Otherwise...  clean them up...  have legible paragraphs and put them back on the top.  That is the main attraction of the front page.

Compare the permanent link (the intended version) with the front page.

Yep. It looks so. But somehow it didn't affect Erik Neuteboom's reviews... Confused

on the new design on review pages - again a lot of paragraphs problems:

sometimes there are paragraphs, some times not. sometimes it seems that only colaborators has the 'right' to paragraph, sometimes also colaborators have no paragraphs.
 
Please tell us: is there any new 'paragraph policy' here? if so, let us no. I dont think lack of paragraphs is a good idea.
