Just placed a trial review and it went through fine the first time, but as the wee box is hard to edit in i missed a couple of typos. I edited them and despite the fact that the review was there initially it vanished when I edited it.

Hopefully it's still there!

If you edit any review after you've submitted it, it will then go to moderation. Best to email the crew about this as I think they go to the back of the queue or get lost amongst other one s somehow. This happened to me when I edited some before.

Everyone’s reviews for these seem to have vanished, as has the product from the database....?? Huh? Reviews all due today too; this is odd

so strange. I knew you'd done yours, Shaz, because I read it once I had posted mine, but there are none there now!

I thought that maybe this was a new feature ... that trial team reviews will only be visible once the deadline is reached, to prevent any “lazy” trial team members from abusing the system by copying and pasting bits from other members reviews, instead of having to actually write their own honest review.  

If so, I think it’s great that the trial product reviews are held back and only released after the deadline, as I did have a issue in the past with someone (who is no longer a BR member) copying and pasting bits of other people’s reviews in order to make up her “own” review, instead of actually trialling the products she was sent. So sad when people are in it just for freebies.

silvene - I wrote my review on Tuesday and until I'd submitted it I couldn't see the others, then I could see Shaz' (the only other one there at that stage) even after i sent mine back for editing, and could see them again later in the week, but they're all gone now regardless of if you've done your review.

I agree it's a great idea to avoid lazy reviewing (that wasn't why I was looking for them though) but seems wholly bizarre that they're not visible to those who HAVE reviewed them!

The same thing happened with the hair care trial I just did. I agree Silvene! I also find it odd when a review has been written and my trial item hasn't even arrived yet. Surely it takes more than 1 day before you can review an item.

Lisa I 100% agree and am often scratching my head as to how these people have PROPERLY trialled something.

I was super time poor when my last one arrived and I had to go away for the rest of the week so I ran four seperate tests on it THAT DAY to be able to write my trial. That's not always going to be possible though and a day-after review is not my usual style!

I think the review i did write is very comprehensive and wouldn't have changed with more time, but i'd have liked more time none the less.

   I submitted my review on Friday night on the Manuka Infused wipes and it disappeared. Can't find the product under the listing and today's the deadline. The notice has disappeared from my inbox though.

Something strange is definitely going on. I just had the (non-trial) review I wrote today approved by a moderator. When I looked on my beauty space to see if my trial review was there, I noticed a review I wrote last month has disappeared (although the product is still on the database). 

Im just assuming it's to do with the exciting new changes that are happening in the background.

Yeah four I wrote this arvo are there but still not the trial one. Where’s an explanatory pixie, lady or queen when I’m confused? :p

Ahhhhhh ok cool I'm glad I'm not the only one who edited a review and had it disappear thought it must still be waiting approval or something but wasn't too sure. When they said they were working away behind the scenes making some changes I thought it might be related to that. Oh well I'm trying to get my grammar perfecto in the mean time so I don't have to edit.

Morning all!

Right... so... as per Queenie's note the other day, we are working on a number of exciting new developments (like, seriously exciting) so things may appear slightly different for a while. If you see something out of the ordinary then that'll be why. There's a method in the madness, but we can't reveal the method... yet.

If you've written a review on a trial product and submitted it the usual way then it's captured in the system and definitely there. Again, method, madness, can't say much... yet.

Ooooh, don't you love a bit of intrigue on a Monday!?

so i know changes going on yada yada yada, but i see heaps of "new" l'oreal products are being added, but i know i've reviewed some of them, like the black and purple shampoo set and my reviews are still there...
what is going on!!!! is this the upside down!?
i would review them again but i can't even remember what i thought of them the first time round so it'd be a waste of time really but i am hella confused!
