Sometimes I think it would be a great idea to include some pictures or screencaps into a review. I guess there will be problems with copyright infringement or that sort of? All hail to the hypnotoad!

The box is rather narrow so could anyone really place a screencap where it would do justice to the site being reviewed. Then there's the fact that images take a lot of space which can be better served with words and links to the sceencaps on the main site. Long live the Brown Coats.

Make the image a thumbnail that has to be clicked to expand to the width of the full review box. That way it doesn't take up that much space unless you want it. As someone who talks a lot about the layout of a site in my reviews, it would be much easier to talk about certain parts of it if I had an image to show people what I mean.

Well, I can see copyright may be an issue.
If a way could not be found, perhaps the TBP reviews could feature them?

I think the same issue of posting pictures in the forum would be the same issue. my thought is the TBP/PU team would be working more to monitor the reviews, words take seconds to approve pictures could take awhile to sort. Since 2007

So, while we'll keep all these ideas in mind for future upgrades to the system, I wouldn't look for them right away.

In the meantime, if you want samples we feature four sample galleries a week in the PU Newsletter.

Damn 2257, always ruining my fun.

So here's an idea for a new feature that I just got while writing a comment:

The ability to preview comments/reviews before we actually submit them. For example, to see how they lay out or to see if the sites we expect to turn into links actually do.

Well, that's kinda why we allow you to edit your Reviews/Comments/Replies for a short period of time after submitting them. Oh, and of course for correcting typos which (for me at least) seem to become obvious only after I hit submit. Former PornUsers Senior Administrator

I thought it was only me that can't see the typos until after it's posted. After about 20 edits I can nearly get it right.
