I have never successfully written a review on this site.  I was never interested until recently, when I noticed a new band had received a very negative review (the only review they've received thus far), and I believed they deserved a much better review.  Now I find for some reason I can't seem to get the site to save my review.  I've tried to write one for three separate albums now, and none of them have shown up.  I've noticed that underneath the box where you write your review, it says "(only 100 words and more reviews are published, other are considered as a rating only)", however I'm still having problems.  I have made sure that one of my reviews was under 100 words (that was kinda tough since I wanted to say more) but it still hasn't shown up.  Also, if only 100 word reviews are published, why is it that I see reviews posted all the time that are WAY over 100 words?  I'm confused....

Under 100 words is NOT more than 100 words.

Ok, now I realize that sounded stupid.  But hear me out - so I wrote a review, it was over 100 words.  I pressed save.  NOTHING HAPPENED.  I pressed save again.  NOTHING HAPPENED.  So then I read that sentence and for some reason it made me think I needed to cut my words down under 100 words, which was very difficult to do, but I did.  Clicked save, NOTHING HAPPENED.  Something is buggy here....

I should also add that I had tried to write a review on another album, and when I clicked save, it took me to another page, so I THOUGHT that meant it saved successfully.  But it never showed up anywhere.  So I'm very confused, which is why I read that sentence and somehow my brain told me it meant I needed to cut my reviews down to size.

When posting a review,  I think it asks you to click a box saying you have read and agree to the rules of the site, before you can post a review.  Did you click Yes for that?

I'm guessing you haven't rated the album previously? 
New album!

I thought maybe you rated it before and edited it, and that's why you couldn't see it in the main page.
But I guess you didn't click that agree box.
