Problems with reviews

I recently wrote a review for Diablo 3 and noticed that whenever I divided my paragraphs and posted the review, everything merged together into one big wall of text. When I went back to edit the review, I noticed some HTML coding at the end of each paragraph.

It's likely a glitch, but is there anything I can do to work around this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hey there Asagea_888,

it is supposed to work like it used to, you hit the enter key and it inserts a paragraph tag automatically. I've tested this and you're correct, something is wrong. I even tried adding .html and it's still not working. I've let the crew know about the issue.

I'm assuming that's the problem. Thanks again, Jody, for looking into the matter :)

Glad to know the team is working on it :)

I thought it was a problem on my end xD

Typical. I write my first review in years and the site's not working properly when posting it. :lol:

Will we need to edit and repost when this is fixed, or will it sort itself out?

I tried posting a review very recently, and there still seems to be a problem with the text bunching up together, and with all these HTML codes inserted into different parts of my review. There are no paragraphs throughout my review once it's posted on GameSpot, even though I originally wrote the review with paragraphs, like usual.

Are the GS crew still aware of this problem and are they working to fix it?

I've got the same issue as well. I posted a review of Tales of the Abyss for the 3DS and all the text just got stuck together into one massive paragraph alonside the HTML Coding. No matter what I do I can't get fix my review.

I hope it gets fixed soon.

This still not fixed?

This still not fixed?

Nope.

I thought it was just me. let's hope they fix this soon - it's highly annoying not to be able to structure your reviews with paragraphs. Anyone found a workaround?

Will there be a mass PM Notification or how will we know when this issue is fixed?

Yeah, I have this problem as well with my latest two reviews. Hope GS can do something about it.

Ditto...

Still waiting. I've added two reviews now and they are unreadable.\r\n\r\nHave we heard anything official fropm Gamespot yet?

\r\n\r\n

I am sure GameSpot is handling this problem in the same form they have handled every problem the site ever had. By barely paying it any attention.

I also had this problem, and accidently made a thread about it (I'll delete it!). It's very annoying especially when it makes you look a terrible reviewer.

Please fix this problem Gamespot as well as not being able to see if anyone has commented on the blogs of other users from the userpage.

All we can do now is wait for the results. I do hope they fix it cause I got more reviews on the way.

I hope its fixed soon, there's a few reviews I want to post on here but ain't posting them til they fix the problems

I have been experiencing this problem too for a few weeks now. Counting on you Gamespot staff!

Don't hold your breath.

Adding this to the start of my recent reviews: "Gamespot Reviews are currently broken, when they're fixed the formatting of this post should be fixed. -----------------------------------"

Mainly so it doesn't make me look like an idiot who's messed up the formatting. SEVENTEEN DAYS NOW GS.

I wouldn't mind if they came here and said "We don't know how to fix it".

Two actions will be taken with this bug. If you've already posted a review, the code is being fixed on your previously posted review. Also, this bug is just about finished with testing so if all goes well it should be resolved today.

Thank you for the response.

You are right, the already posted reviews (the ones I posted at least) have been fixed however...I just posted a new one and the coding is still broken :/

Edit: Also just noticed...my avatar isnt working o.O

Thanks for the update.

I'm still having issues with the review setup so it needs more work.

It is funny to see it go from "It's been a month WTF GameSpot?" to "OMG thank you GameSpot!" lol

It is about time.

Yep. It works.

I did have to re-post my two reviews but that's not really an issue. Thanks for sorting this out in an extremely long period of time. :)

Just re-posted my review.

Thanks for the fix. :D

Thank you! No more issues at all :)
