Campground Reviews Process

[NLOVNIT]

Has anyone thought of streamlining this process to a 1 access page?

To do a review (at least one as complete as what I do & I'm trying to get 4 of them done 2nite), I first have to submit the basic info on the campground on one page. Then I have to access another page to add positive/negative aspects, would I recommend it & price paid. Once I submit that, in order for me to give it a number rating, I have to do an edit to that second page, because the number rating part doesn't show on the positive/negative page the first time around. That's 3x I have to go in to do a comprehensive review on a single campground.

I think it would be nice to enter that info all on 1 page, with just 1 access, rather than multiple accessing. Either that, or I'm doing it wrong to have to go in 3 different times to complete a review.

Lori..
You need to understand that you are doing something different other than a review if the campground is not there to begin with -
You would be "adding a campground" -which is not the same as a "review" - so those two things need to be a separate process...I will double check the number rating thing ..I did not think I had to do a separate process ...

AND I would like to for adding do many campgrounds for others to be able to just go in and review!

Lori...I just posted as my "alter ego" in a Bakersfield campground. I was able to make my post and rate it at the same time... all in one step...

I did use my alter-ego so that I would see it just as you do...It is just a regular member account.

Ok, I understand the reviewing vs adding a brand new campground (although I STILL think it should be all 1 process). But I don't understand why I don't see the number rating system on the review page my 1st time through, like you do. I just now finished Sunny Brook in MI & I paid special attention to that review page. The rating scale doesn't appear for me unless I edit the review. I've got 1 more review to do but haven't downloaded the pictures from off my camera yet & it's getting late over here so I'll probably just go to bed & work on that review tomorrow. When I get to it, I'll post a print screen so you can see what I'm seeing on that reviews page.

Thanx for your help, MM.

You still have my email address- don't you? I look forward to trying to figure this one out!

Here is an update on this issue....
NLOVNIT figured out what the problem was -about the same time I was emailing her with what I saw.

There are two ways to post a review -

• You can do a complete review including the ratings if you click the "Post a Review" button which is next to the Campground Name near the top of the page.
• You can do a "Quick Reply" -which would be a basic rating without the ratings (and it does not include the smileys either)

...so if you want to reply to a post -do a "quick reply" near the bottom of the page BUT if you want to do a complete review... then "Post a Review" near the top of the page.

...and Thanks Lori for being so adamant about there should be a "better way" - there is a better way and we didn't even have to do anything to make it better!
