I am submitting a review for the first time.  The provider I am reviewing is listed on TER and has TER ID.  Is there a way of entering the TER ID on the review form so that the form is automatically populated with information from the existing review.  I looked and perhaps I missed it, but I could not see an a method of automatically populating the form with information about city, services, prices, etc.
I have already written the general and juicy details part of the review and fully expected to enter this original material.

Thank you for your help.

This topic comes up a lot. There is no way to automatically populate the form. TER wants you to fill it in every time. (Supposedely that was done to make it harder to submit fake reviews) The sad thing is even if you change something on the profile, it won't change. The original profile stays the same until someone submits a problem report. The easiest way to do ithe review, is to write the general and juicy details in a text document on your computer. Then open the profile, and open the submit review form in a second window. Then you can copy all the stuff from the existing profile onto your new review. Then copy the details from your document into the appropriate sections and submit.

PS is right.  It's their site and they make the rules.  Whether or not it cuts down on fake reviews, who knows. but there is no way around re-entering all the provider's info on your review.  I do what PS suggested for a provider who is already reviewed, open two browsers and have her profile on one and my review on the other.  It does make it easier to write the review.  You can enter different info if you want, but it won't show up on the profile.  I also write the details sections on a word processor and then just copy and paste on my review.
