Suggestion and Policy

Can we have a "Preview" function for previewing new reviews?

I just submitted a review and realized it would have been nice to be able to preview it before submitting it.

Is this a function that can be added to the review submission form?

Peace...

If you go into Account Manager and click on My Reviews, you'll see the review you just submitted with status "New".  You can click the Edit box to reopen, preview and optionally edit the review further.

Having said that, I too like an integrated Preview function that lets you see what you're going to look like before you post; that would be cool for both board posts and reviews.

Go to Account Manager and then click "my reviews".  

If the review is not yet published (It will say "new review" next to it.) You may still amend it as you will.

You may also amend a review by special permission if you write to Administration and tell them why.

Thanks for the reply but this doesn't do what I'm looking for.  By amending a review, the text I entered is still in the textarea boxes in which I entered it.

I'm looking for a "preview" of the review as it will look when it's published so I can make sure the formatting of the text is ok and make amendments as necessary.

Peace...

Thanks for the reply.  I know I can edit a pending review but doing so doesn't provide a way to see the review as it will look when it's posted.

The integrated preview function you then describe is what I'm after since that could display the review the way it will look when it gets posted (if it gets approved).

Right now, I can't see that until the review is posted and once it's posted, I can't go back and make formatting tweaks.  In fact, I see some formatting tweaks I would like to make in the last review I submitted.  

Peace...
