Editing Reviews

I would really love the ability to add to and/or edit a review after I've submitted it. I just thought of two more very important things I wanted to add to a submitted review but when it's gone it's gone.

 

Same here. They are on and I re-read them and see a misspelling or something, would have to change it.

 

If there are just minor changes (misspelled word, something left out, etc) and not a whole revision, you can report them to the Help Desk and changes will be made for you.

 

Yep, and that includes a "plague" I was trying to spread on a recent post I made. Texasrvers jumped in and kept it from spreading to the rest of you folks............

 

I wonder if the software would support a brief, perhaps 5-10 minute, "window" after submitting a review when you could edit it. Similar to the edit window for forum posts. Maybe the admins would query the programmers about it.

 

Good idea. Thanks.

 

I don't do that, but I think I will start doing that. Kinda like the checklist idea, as I often forget information I would like to share and remember later, like how good or bad the WiFi was, which is important to me as even on vacation I am often working.

 

Maybe it is easier for the programmers to add the possibility to withdraw your own review completely.
Then you can start all over again and submit a new review.

 

I sent in a review with an error about the WiFi...the CG didn't have any, and I erroneously stated that the WiFi was good. As soon as I hit submit, I realized my error. I couldn't figure out how to edit or whom to contact. I sent an email via this website stating my error, as I would hate to mislead someone with my review. My review posted without my error being corrected. It would be helpful to have an edit option, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has needed it.

 

Our Help Desk gets a large amount of messages during the summer months. They reply to messages as soon as they can. You did not mention the date you sent your request to have your review revised, but if it has been longer than 2 weeks, you might want to try contacting them again as they may not have received your email. If it has been less than 2 weeks, they are just probably stacked up with messages.

 

As per texasrvers comment, I could see this as adding a lot of work for the RVPR staff since there probably hundreds of review submitted on a frequent basis. We should all do our part to reduce that problem by making sure everything is as we want it to be before hitting the submit button. Not to do so is transferring our mistake to them.

Having said that, some sort of Preview mechanism that was easy to check before submitting would be helpful to those of us who might have fat fingers from time to time.

 

All the more reason to have an edit function - to take the burden off the RVPR staff who already have a big job. Mistakes will, and do, happen.

 

Plus 1 on this. I belong to some other sites on other subjects that allow a contributor to edit their own previous posts, reviews etc. I'd also like to see the forum sort order changed to newest to oldest instead of what it is. I like to see the most recent post at the top of the list instead of going to page 5 or whatever.

 

I submitted a review today with an incorrect rate...K posted $38 rather than the $31 that it was at the time. This was for Parker's Crossroads RV Park in Yuma, TN. Would like to edit or correct that if possible. The Park is great, and don't want to have wrong info there.

 

All fixed.

 

Is it possible to set it up so that while our reviews are still in the "pending approval" stage on the profile page to be able to edit them one last time?

EDIT: I mean, even here in the forums I get one last chance to make changes to what I've posted.

 

The RVPR Site Team has discussed allowing reviewers the ability to edit their reviews for a short period of time after they are submitted. While we saw some advantages in allowing this, there were also some problems in doing so which we never found a solution to, and as a result, nothing was ever done about it. Maybe sometime down the line we can work out the problems, and this will be something we are able to offer.

 

What does this mean? * This review belongs to a park that has been removed from RVParkReviews. One review was for Huckleberr6y Blm Camp in Idaho the other was county park ourside of Crescent City CA
