    I'd love to review more, but...

    Does anyone else find it just really difficult to create reviews here? I've written an AMP review probably 5 times and keep getting errors, the most common of which is "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.". All fields are filled out, so I don't know what the problem is.
    I've read the 'gremlin' post but that's not helpful here. Just weird. Is it only me?

    Type it all up in notes, then just put Hi in the ROS.
    Save and it should go. Then edit, add the ROS inside the HIDE tags.
    Save

    I’ve never had an issue doing that

    Thanks for the help, but I got the exact same error message when I tried that as well.

    I'm using the Chrome browser; could that be a problem? It's weird because I was able to post an Independent Review recently, but this AMP one just won't 'take'.

    Hey sweetie, I don’t know if maybe you’ve tried this.. if the review in coed, and then RTM it and requested to be located to the proper forum. Or you could also once again post in coed, copy the link, send it in a private message to one of the staff members, and once again request for it to be moved to the proper forum..

    This was posted by another guy. I agree with it and added my comments below that. I post reviews successfully every time - so there must be some way to work-around the gremlins. :-) Here you go...

    REVIEW ERROR MESSAGE WORK-AROUND:
    I have found that if you start with the bare minimum it seems to work almost every time. And if it doesn't work you've only put in a short amount of time in case everything disappears.

    I have posted this on a couple of different threads, but this is what works for me.
    1. Fill in only required fields (the starred ones). Public comments is required, but I only enter one word.
    2. Submit the review. If it is accepted then...
    3. Click on "Edit your post" in lower right corner and enter the rest of the review.

    My additional comment: Try "previewing" it instead of "submit". If the top part of the review doesn't look normal (usually a lot of spaces), check that the activities and physical descriptions sections are still there. If either disappeared, retype what's missing and try to "preview" again. If all looks normal, go ahead and submit. Then go to no. 3 above. Don't forget to use the "Hide" for the ROS. You can find this when you are editing by using the "Go Advanced".

    Lastly, I recommend to type your review in a Word Document before you start the review. You can cut/paste it into the review and the information will not be lost if something goes wrong.

    Thanks Aman this is helpful. I tend to write an eccie review and Then C&P here. Last time I reviewed an EPIC Session w Maya Sweet and it would NOT take here with the exact same errors the OP mentioned. I'll have a better chance next time to share w my OH2 heathens!
