Hi,
I am C3PO, and have just written my review of Who Wants to be a Millionaire on the reviews page.
I wasn't here when the discussions were going on about bugs, but I have found one that is very bad.
When you review a game you are told that only 6000 characters are aloud. i had about 8000 so I had to shorten the review in word. I was then told that I had 5800. So I tried to submit, but still I was told by the autometed statement - sorry your review has exceeded 6000. Err, no it hadn't - who do you think you are? I thought, but tried to submit again after reducing it to 5700 characters. This time it worked. Thismust be a flaw, as the little charcaters remaining number on your site quite clearly told me how many more I could put in! Strange...
Also, I am not in favour of losing all the paragraphing that my review originally had, and so I was shocked to see that all the sentences had been crammed together. This will deter people from reading the reviews - such a large chunk of writing that isn't allowed to be split up?
please sort it out. You'll have a better site then.
cheers

You don't need to write mountains of writing in your reviews!
I'll just add a bit to that:
"......combined with the style of the Imac....and when demons in Hell start throwing snowballs at each other....I will be considering the apple...."
H.N.Y. to All.

Does it count spaces?
u should have used a Mac
I have to agree, it part. It's very frustrating when you write a review, nicely set out in paragraphs, and it goes and throws it all together.
I don't know about the 6000 word thing. I'm a man of few words!

Maybe he used MS Word and used autocount? That's what I used to do
