    Posted: April 18 2008 at 00:47
I always try searching, but I can never find an actual button that says "post a review".  under the "reviews" section of each album page, there is a "Post a review for <album name>" section.  If I'm not logged in, it says "you must be a forum member to post a review," and when I log in, it says "you are logged in as Prog-Expert#1, you may proceed," but there is no freaking button!  So how in blazes do I "proceed"?  I tried reading the FAQ section that asks "how do you post a review?"  But that was no help either...  It said "there is a 'post a review' button right above the top review," but when I looked, lo and behold, there wasn't!  Nor was there one anywhere on the page.  I even looked at the HTML source of the page for crying out loud, and there was no hidden link in there either!  It's like the link doesn't exist on my PC, but mysteriously does on everyone elses.  So I seem to be getting snubbed here... it says I can do it, but then provides no link for me to post a review.  I just want to know what is going on, because I actually want to write reviews.

go to the bottom of the album's page (past the reviews), there is a space to write and at the very bottom is a purple 'Submit' button ..  of course remember to read the guidlines and check the 'I Agree' box first..

What I want to really know is why is it so hard for me to review instrumental albums?  Not really a site bug question. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yeah, actually why not post a screenshot so we can see if something is really wrong?

Speaking of not being able to review; I have a problem of my own, might just come out with it on this related thread. I click on the write a review button, and as said, it says i must be logged in, which I am actually, all the time. Anyway, I log in with my forum name/password again, and am returned to the page that asks me to log in. This is very unfortunate, I haven't been able to write anything for months because logging in just returns me to the log in page. This must be some kind of a bug too. And yes, I tried deleting cookies and cache and everything reinstalling opera etc. Not helping.

These problems tend to be firewall related. I have experienced similar problems, and found that by closing the firewall then logging in, all is OK. Turn the firewall back on again straight away of course. (You only need to do this once, after than the log in is remembered by your cookies.
