[NOTICE] Review Previewing & Review Tool

Greetings,

It's been long (very long) requested that we add a Preview function to the review area. I've been very much against this because I'd prefer people not spend "too much" time perfecting the look of a review and just the content across. Perfect looking reviews should not come at the expense of members doing less reviews because too much time is spent making sure each review looks just right.

However, I do understand that reviews can't be edited once sent, so a preview is a necessary tool. So, with a bit of reluctance, I'm adding the preview tool. I am hoping that the average reviewer does not lessen their reviewing quantities because their time is eaten up in the previewing and perfecting process.

Please don't let me down on this one... Get out there and review more!

The new Preview tool for reviews loads a dynamic preview of your review on the same page, just below the preview button.

I've also added a new Review Tool button below the review field. This allows you to pop open the review tool containing anything you've already entered into the review box. This is great for those reviews that end up a lot longer than you may have expected. Remember that the review tool provides an expanding text area to enter your review in, a spell checker, and even a draft storage feature allowing you to save a review and come back to it later.

Review On,
~~SM
