Hello y'all. I wanted to add a review to National Health' D.S. Al Coda album, for which I clicked the "Write A Review" button. This leads me time and time again to the first expert review (which may be a subtle hint that my review-to-be couldn't stand in the shade of the expert reviews   ), but I'd like to think that my ramblings might be of any help to some prog listeners.It doesn't help if I'm logged in already or not. I'm always being forwarded (or rather downwarded, technically speaking) a few lines later to the first expert review. Could someone please help me out of this? This is a kind of "writer's block" I've never experienced before. Please unblock this writer.  |

Never mind my first post (which no one did, in fact  ; 15 onlookers but no one able to help)I already found a way. Seems you have to log in double, first in the forum, then in the database; it works like this with regardless of the browser, it seems. Pretty strange, but hey... problem solved. Still, the old routine of posting in this section and somebody else picks it up doesnt't seem to work anymore. I feel helpless like Neil Young on a Buffalo Springfield album (and a pretty good one, lads and lasses) Q: Is this community disintegrating, hmm  A: Well, not as long as I can post my genius reviews  You'll just have to cope with them  First take a bath and have a drink and read some cartoons and litter - a - ture Life is all about priorities.

I thought everyone by now knew they had to log into the database. This has always been this way. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

| Happens when I try to add albums too, even if I am already logged on via the Admin page. Having to repeatedly log in, only to be re-routed to the forum, then having to visit the bandpage again is blimmin' annoying. I don't remember having this problem with posting reviews a year or so ago, just hit the 'post review' button and away you go. |

You have always had to be logged into the database. The Admin page has nothing to do with it. That is a third log in for some of us. If you are logged in at the Admiin page, add an album from there. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I must have known it myself before, since I already did some 30 reviews in the past. But I had a long period of not reviewing, and somehow I forgot in the meantime.  Oh well, luckily with trial and error I found my way again.
