Is the Bike Review Thread not being updated? I posted a review of the IZIP Mezza Folder a few days back and its still not showing

They go through admin first Maz, and Russ is very busy at the moment so that's probably the reason for the delay.

The reason for going through admin is to prevent the kind of competitor posted malicious reviews that sometimes appear online elswhere.

They do make it but it can take a long time. Mine got lost for weeks but eventually appeared.

So am I.

You might not guess it from my near 13,000 posts, but I detest typing, partly because I'm a terrible typist anyway.

I use the "zone approximation" typing method, lashing out at the general area where I think I last saw the letter I wanted, trying to hit at least two keys at once to double the chances of getting the right one. Afterwards I go through it, eliminating the letters I didn't want and shuffling the remainder into the right order.

Then I post it and see the errors I didn't see first time, hence so many of my posts having an "Edit" notice below. I've long since given up posting the reason for the edit, basically summed up with one word, incompetence.

It is good to have a review posted there have not been a lot just lately,if you are taking the time to write a review for the benefit of other users you are no way lazy.

Hi All,

Currently we are preparing to migrate to a new server and we have also upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin (the forum software). The latest version is a major upgrade and adds lots of new features including a CMS (content management system) which basically means the front end of the site will be heavily integrated with the forum.

The plan is to open up the front end of the site to members and advertisers allowing them to post directly e.g. news articles, features, techie articles and of course bike reviews etc. Members will also be able to blog on the site if they wish. The idea is to make the front end much more interactive.

vB4 is currently in beta release which we'll start testing over the next few weeks ready for going live early in the new year.
