Suggestion and Policy

Right idea, but implementation would be a bitch...

Problem is that if you allow the user to enter anything like a profile number, there is going to be a considerable number of those who fat-finger the keyboard and end up changing a profile that they never intended to change.

Hey, TER --

You could make it easier to post new reviews for existing profiles if you didn't make us fill out the entire profile from scratch.  Here's what I suggest:

The reviewer clicks "Submit review" and gets sent to the page of rules, and so clicks "I agree" -- as in current system.

The reviewer is then given the choice of two boxes to check:
1.  New profile.  If the reviewer checks this, he gets a blank profile form to fill out (as in current system).
2.  Existing profile.  If the reviewer checks this, he is asked for the profile number and then given the profile as it exists and given the opportunity to correct any information that needs correcting -- as well, of course, as writing his review.

If I have missed something, and it is possible to do something like this now, please set me straight.

thanks --
