Well I`m resolved to the fact that I`ll never be able to post pictures Sleepy. How about this one. I don`t have that much time to spend on the site anymore but when I do it`s usually in an office which is not at home and I`m usually doing a few other things at the same time. If you`re halfway through a review and you`re interupted is it possible to save the review and continue it later on? This happened to me this morning when I thought I had enough time to write a Trace - Birds review and had to cut it short because I had to leave the office for an hour. Now I`m going to have to go back and fix it up.

I usually type my reviews in a program like Microsoft Word. It's really easy to save unfinished reviews there.

Then I copy and paste it over.

I'd suggest you never write the review on line Vibe. The risk is that you'll lose your hard work due to connection problems etc.
 
I always write mine in a word processor and save them, then copy and paste them into the review submission form. If you need to transport them to and from home, use a memory stick or e-mail them to yourself.
 
To answer your question though, you cannot save a work in process draft on the site, you have to post the review. As a prog reviewer, you can of coure go back and edit it later.

Another vote for word processing your review first.  Might even be well advised to do the same for long forum posts.

If for some reason you don't have word processing software, here's a freebie you might be interested in:

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I guess I`ll have to just have to do what I`ve been doing all along. As Easy Livin`said, go back and edit them later. But the thing that irks me is that they go up on the home page uncorrected untill 50 reviews come along. I figured it was a long shot. Thanks anyway.

I`m still living in the age of the abacus and slide rule. My 5th grade teacher actually taught us to use an abacus and I remember her saying that the knowledge might come in handy once the planet was pretty much destroyed. In Japan where they are still manafactured they still teach students to use them in  primary school. Got through high school with a slide rule and the air force with manual flight navigation computers ( I had a human navigator with me most of the time ) .
