I used to be able to access my profile and edit reviews by going to the Our Collaborators section and clicking the View My Profile & Reviews button. Today I noticed the button isn't there anymore, nor is the Log Out button. What gives? Confused

Me too. No View My Profile & Reviews and Log Out buttons.

I thought admins decided to disable editing reviews for non-collabs.

Atkingani has just explained to me via PM that such option is no longer available for non-collabs and non-PRs. I must have missed the topic anouncing this change (I assume there was one) - perhaps someone could be kind enough as to redirect me to it, so I can express my opinion on this decision in the adequate place.

Ah, sorry I didn't notice you we not a collab.
 
The facility has only ever been intended for collaborators, but was inadvertently extended to all members for a while after an upgrade.

Three years, that's a big "for a while". LOL
 
Personaly I've started my casual reviewing in 2005, so the feature has alway been present for me. I have discussed with Guigo about the "fairness" of limiting this tool to Collabs only. Can't say I agree with it, even though it might be a road to abuse, as Guigo explained to me. Personally I see it more as a road to good reviewing that has now been cut off for starting reviewers. How are newcomers expected to find motivation to become PR's if the responsability for their writings is taken away from them, and the impossibility to improve their work introduced? Disapprove

Wow...I got in at the right time. LOL
 
I must say I found it a very convenient feature when I wasn't a collab. Without it I don't think I would have gone back and redid reviews.
