    why can I not post a review?

    I've tried a dozen times to post a review in the place where it says "post a new review" and after putting in hundreds of words, the only response is that I need to make it longer than "1 character" WTF? seriously, WTF? I see dozens of review posted a day, what's the secret code?

    Read this.

    I’ve tried only twice to post reviews here, and both times fell victim to the dread gremlin. I just posted a review tonight, and it too failed the first couple of times. Here’s what I did that worked.

    I filled out all of the fields. In the public comments field I inserted only the letter A. Then I submitted it. It worked! Then I edited it to add the public comments.

    No guarantee that this will work for you. But between CK’s suggestions and sheer stubbornness, you’ll get there. Best of luck.

    yeah, I've read that a few times, doesn't help really because the place where I need to leave a review is the very place where I can't - tried your "A" idea and it still does the same shit. The people who run this website need to fix their shit. I shouldn't need some secret code to do what other people do all day every day. It's fucking bullshit. I'm not a programmer and I shouldn't have to be to use a website. Fucking slackers.

    used that too, no different, I guess I'll just post it here, since this website doesn't really work for everybody.

    Don’t blame the staff. I’ve read blogs on this issue that are 15 years old.

    Ask about any of my past encounters.

    If you’re using Safari (I am), go to settings, Safari, clear history and website data. Then try posting your review.

    Some devices, particularly cells and tablets (iPhones and iPads especially mentioned), are not compatible with the system. PC and laptops work best. We are constantly trying to boot the %$#@& gremlin, wretched and persistent creature! He pops up intermittently and sometimes unexpectedly. Yes, it's frustrating to management, too!

    Posting the public portion of the review and then going back and editing within the 60-minute window is often successful, or adding the ROS subsequently in HIDE tags, and if all else fails, post what you can and PM the hidden details to staff, and they will be added. You can use the template to also post in the private Hobbyist-only forum, then RTM it (report to mod triangular button at the bottom of every post's avatar) for relocation and HIDE tags.

    Review in question was successfully placed in the appropriate forum.

    Thank you for your tolerance with a completely non-profit site and an all-volunteer staff!

    If you're pasting anything from your clipboard, many times that will cause what you're experiencing. Here's a work around, usually.

    After you paste, backspace over a couple letters and then type them in manually

    Don't mean to be rude, if this is a non-profit site then why does the Secret Benefits popup show up every time I log in? I thought that must be for y'all to earn some revenue.

    Oh well I guess that could be for covering server costs and you are still losing money or only breaking even.
