It’s way too easy to accidentally rate things with the slider when using the site on a cellphone because there’s no confirmation button that you actually wanted to rate the beer. Perhaps that’s what happened?
It’s happened to me a few times when looking at stuff that other people had rated. People have already asked for this to be addressed (probably a couple of hundred posts back), but obviously it hasn’t been addressed yet, along with the other multiple requests.
And its not usual as its fairly standard widly used forum software.
Its comunity Lead. So yeah anyone can edit it, but owner is notified and Abusers can be locked down.
So its pretty much like wikepedia. Any one can edit but if abused you will be banned.
Thats what the trust levels in teh forum are all about
I went to edit a rating and the field that opens is totally empty, meaning I need to write my review from the beginning. I thought to copy my review and paste it, editing the part I wanted but that’s not possible either, wtf, if I need to correct a spelling mistake I need to write my whole rating again??
If you’ve got a real keyboard, you can perhaps fool RB into letting you copy your rating into the clipboard by holding down Ctrl whilst you select the text. I know that has worked in X/Linux for me, and I’ve heard rumours that it works in MS Windows too.
It’s not so much “using” Ratebeer as it is fooling Ratebeer into letting you do what you actually want to do.
Did the “advanced search” link move? I couldn’t find it on the site. It used to be on the main page. I had to google “ratebeer advanced search” to find it and do a search.
