The instructions to include a handy clickable link to the vendor are below. 1. First detail your experience with the vendor. 2. Click Preview Message 3. View your message, and make any corrections. 4. Open the site of the vendor in another window or tab 5. Go to the window or tab of the site, and place the cursor over the URL (address of the site), right click-the URL will then be highlighted....left click on copy 6. Go back to your message preview window, hover cursor over the Optional Link URL box and right click .... Then left click paste 7. In the Name of the Link box type the Vendor's name 8. Hit Preview once again...you will then be able to test your link to see for sure that it works. 9. If all is well, click submit And perhaps give step by step instructions on how to post a link? I am insecure (and computer challenged as well).. I know that sounds complicated, but so often things are really oversimplified, and of no value to someone who doesn't know about copying and pasting...I can remember not knowing how at one point. Anyone have suggestions? Want to rewrite? Start over? Is copying and pasting maybe different with different OS or browsers? I think some folks like to use a control button when copying...have never done that b4.

It hasn't been all praises that have been sung on the review forum. There are a few less than glowing reports...thankfully just a 'few'. I remember reading one that even had mixed reviews as well. Sue

Hi Kathy645, YIKES!...There is a major malfunction at Rate and Review, and I see what you are talking about. In doing a search on my name there it says that there are 86 replies with the last one shown (on the search page) having a date of Feb 14, 10. In actually looking at the thread, there are 77 replies with the last reply being made on Jul 29, 09. (like you said...) So is everything since July 09 gone including my post? Or can other people see up to Feb 2010? Is that why a search of my name does not bring up your name as one I have rated? > Well, it looks like there is a window of time that some reviews got dropped (disappeared) from 'some' threads. In looking on back a few pages, and the dates threads were started and replied to, I really don't 'think' entire threads were lost. In checking my 'saved emails' I have an email from you dated 12-12-09, and on 12-13-09 I replied and thanked you for the kind review you had posted......so your review disappeared sometime on or after 12-13-09. In doing a little looking around there at R and R, and counting some replies, I see that there are also replies missing on member disneynut1977, it shows there are 28 replies, yet when counted there are only 26 there. It looks like they are missing sometime between Mar 4, 09 and Mar 16, 10. Member name Jeanne shows there should be 43 replies yet there are only 31 replies probably missing between Jan 22, 09 and Mar 15, 10 Member poppy_power says 46 follow-ups) yet there are only 29..probably missing between May 8, 09 and Mar 15, 10 Member name kmpsmom shows 43 replies yet there are only 40...probably missing between Mar 5, 09 and Mar 11, 10 Member name Liznbeatle shows 17 replies, yet there are only 14 dirt_under_my_nails-(reviews missing )shows last post is Dec 20, 09, yet the last one in the thread is Jul 4, 09 I will contact GW (via the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page) and link to this thread. Hopefully the lost reviews can be found. Hopefully it won't be like finding a needle in a haystack for the tech folks. Sue...loquacious as usual.

thanks
