Can't Submit a Review

Postby Misplaced » Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:37 pm

I wanted to review Artisticmom's latest chapter of "Only Once" but each time I type it up and click submit I get the following message:

"Rating a story without writing a review is not allowed. You must write a review."

I tried logging out and back in, exiting the story and going back...and still get the same message (and I've not rated anything, just writing a review). Not sure what the issue is. :(

This is very strange. Let me see if I can figure it out. I'm on the road, so I might not be able to fix it right away.

As far as I know, no one has tweaked the review settings and you aren't supposed to be able to add ratings, since we disabled that feature.

Update:

I just was able to leave a review no problem. I'll need some more information. What browser are you using? What platform? (Mac or PC).


If anyone else is having this issue, please let us know!

It's definitely a browser issue. I just upgraded to IE9 yesterday. I even tried using the "submit a review" from the options drop-down menu. Still got the same message.

Finally dusted off my Firefox and the review went through with no problems. *shrug* It's irritating, but I can manage around it. (Yeah, I know IE isn't the bestest browser, but I've got it set up just the way I want it and I'm being stubborn about changing. :P )

IE works better for some things, but efiction likes Firefox. Nevertheless, they are working on a new version - and I'm going to report this to them.

I can't post a review. All I get is 'Rating a story without writing a review is not allowed'. I've just upgraded (and I use that term loosely) to IE9.

As far as I know, there's no real fix except for using a different browser.

Unfortunately, in my case I'm not sure that's feasible. Thanks for the info.

Sorry about that Hummingbird2, we'll upgrade the software with the new version comes out. That might help.

Hummingbird - FireFox is free, and in most situations it runs more smoothly than ie.
