Milky Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Hello everyone! I was wondering if someone can answer this question for me since it seems that there have been some changes. I've pretty much stopped leaving reviews except for here and there and just yesterday I felt obligated to leave a review for a certain story however I said I must be logged in. I thought, 'no problem' and promptly did then clicked back. However, it still says I must login in order to leave a review. I've tried it again in other browsers but the same issue came up. Can someone please tell me what steps do I need to do in order to leave a review on a story? That would be greatly appreciated since I searched around on the forums and haven't found an answer. Thanks again and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year! Quote
BronxWench Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 If the story in question has been set not to accept anonymous reviews, then yes, the reviewer must be logged in. The archive code is in the process of being rewritten, and in order to implement changes without disrupting the entire archive, certain features have been disabled. One of those features is author control over anonymous reviews. Currently, the default is to disallow anonymous reviews, but our tech admin runs a daily query to allow anonymous reviews unless the author has requested that they be disallowed. So, my best guess is that the author whose story you're trying to review has asked that anonymous reviews be disallowed on their stories. Quote
Milky Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks for the reply! I have no problem with logging in to review but the problem is even after I log in, I still cannot review. It still asks me to log in even after I have done so. Is this a bug on my end? Quote
BronxWench Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 I'm showing you as logged in. I would suggest logging out, clearing your cache, closing the browser completely after clearing the cache, and then restarting it and logging back in using the upper right fields. That often clears any errors and allows normal function again. If that doesn't work, please let us know, and hopefully our tech admin will have a solution. Quote
Melrick Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 When you say you click "back", do you mean you click the back button on your browser? If so then I'm wondering if that's not the problem, that you're logging in but then effectively backing out of the login to go back to the page you were on. Quote
Milky Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Thank you so much for your responses I finally got it to work. I think the solution was to log in via Member Tools first then log in from the upper right. Initially, I opted to log in via clicking the blue link in the review section that looks like this: And when I clicked BACK it didn't work nor did it work when I logged in that way and clicked Originals and found the story again. Thank you again and hopefully this will help others who have similar problems when it comes to reviewing. Edited January 6, 2015 by Milky Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 There's still a subdomain with the login link in the review board? Those do NOT work. Quote
