A big thumbs-up to Khan and the gang for a change in reviews I noticed when reading GCode’s review of Frank’s TGirl World that the ‘bottom line’ section seemed longer than usual. I copied the text into a Word document and discovered that it was, in fact, a lot longer than we’ve been able to submit before. So I checked the review-posting page, and sure enough the maximum number of characters is up to 5000 from 3000. I’m sure this is recent because the 3000 character cap was still in place when I wrote my last review a couple of weeks ago. I know a lot of members here are able to convey good information in a few words, but there are several others who take longer to say what we want. I write in Word and then edit, and one of the biggest problems I’ve had is editing for length. I find that I’ve had to delete information that I really would have preferred to keep in the review but it just became a trade-off against something slightly more important. So my thanks to the PU staff for increasing this limit. Not everyone will need the extra space, and not all sites will merit that much verbiage, but it will be great to have that extra room in some future reviews. | |

I, too, am grateful for the extra space but I would have liked to see an increased "Cons" section as well. Or is there now? Maybe I'm too picky but there are entirely too many sites where the cons are huge and I always have to carry my comments down to the bottom line. | |

In some of my reviews I tend to ramble. And I often find when writing a review that I go over the limit on the pros, or the cons, or the bottom line, and I have to reduce the word count. Editing can be a pain. Sometimes I have to leave out details or opinions I would like to keep. So I am glad that at least part of the review has increased limits for word count. That makes it easier for me to write a review. | |

A step in the right direction, certainly.  I would like to see more space in 'Pros' & 'Cons' though. Cap'n.

More space is absolutely welcome but I can't help but wonder why there's no some format available in the reviews. I feel automatically converting pro/con dashes into an bullet point HTML list would make sense at many levels. Also would make sense having the chance to add bold and italics in the bottom line (and since we are at it, why not lists for the same price), specially since replies already have bold and italic option. I feel naked writing an online text in plain text format. It would probably mean I'd spend even more time writing my reviews but I think I'd be happier with the end results.  | |

I never felt restricted by the old limits, but feel that in some cases more can be better. | |

Well, I always have to manipulate what I want to say into the boxes provided for it. I quite often get my cape in a twist doing it too!  Cap'n.

You're quite welcome. Glad it's something that's appreciated. BTW, credit goes to Kevin (the tech guru) for this one. Of course, we'll take all the other ... errrr ... suggestions under consideration for the future.

Well, if you're planning to take other suggestions into consideration, my suggestion is that you pull some strings and send Tanner Mayes around to my place for an afternoon.  Yes, sometimes I even offend myself... | |
