How can I write reviews?
Jan 20, 2021, 23:52
I thought it would be a lark to start writing reviews on here again (after an absence of several friggin' years)...but it seems I can't. I can log into my original account, but it doesn't give me the option to post new reviews, even though it allows me to edit (or delete!) my old reviews. It tells me I need to "register" first. But this leads to the conundrum that I've ALREADY registered...like back in 2003. I emailed the "Help" form a month or so ago, but never got a response, not even an "FU." Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this so I can post reviews again? Thanks!

Just had a look at it says the same for me, even though I have posted reviews there before.

Well, at least I'm not alone! It would be nice if this could be worked out. In the meantime though, if anyone cares, over the past couple years I've done some "random record reviews" at my blog -- nowhere to the length of Unsung reviews, but just more concise overviews of some rare records I like. Here's the link if any of you are curious:

I'm surprised some of these still haven't been reviewed here -- Randy California's "Kapt Kopter," Neil Merryweather's "Space Rangers," and Paris's "Paris" in particular would be right up the alley of anyone who reads the Unsung reviews!

I can get to the Add Review page. Are you saying if you paste your review in the box and press 'Add Review' it doesn't work?

I've imagined that I'd add some more reviews so I'd like to know if its still possible. Cheers

I don't even have the option to add a review. Even though I'm logged in, this message displays for me:

"To add your own reviews you must first register with the Head Heritage site. Julian Cope provides some guidelines for reviewing records in the article Unsung Reviews: Some Moral Responsibility and Financial Considerations."

The irony being that I registered like back in 2003 or something...

At the risk of repeating Valve's comment, at the bottom of the red column on the right of the Unsung page are 2 options:

ADD A REVIEW
REVIEWS ARCHIVE

If I click on 'ADD A REVIEW', all the review stuff is there.

If the problem is registration, can you not register anew?

Everyone, "Add A Review" miraculously appeared on my account! Previously it wasn't there so I was in a weird catch-22 where I was logged in and registered, but it was asking me to register to post a review. Looks like whatever was going on has been ironed out. Uh, now I just need to find the time to start writing some reviews!!
