Just a thought but could you create a "sticky" note at the top of the print review section and list in alphabetical order the films that have been reviewed? It would help when looking to see if a film has been listed?

Good Idea. I think what we need to do is have a thread "Films Reviewed" and then each reviewer will have to add the film title to that list. I need to see if theres a way to allow all members to edit an existing thread so that each title doesnt have to be added onto the thread.

Absolutely, Tony....right as soon as you post your picture.

Differing opinions on the same film could be interesting. [Smile]

There is no way to alphabatize. The easiest thing to do is use the search feature in that forum. It searches not only the content, but the title as well.

I really like Tony's idea as I find the review section very useful.

Brad, I understand there's no way to properly alphabetize php through programming, but, if you create a "sticky", I don't mind acting as a list keeper.

Actually, I would see an alphabetical list of direct links to the review post:

FILM TITLE (Company/footage) review by FORUM MEMBER...

LITTLE MERMAID (THE) - Derann Feature - review by Andrew Wilson
MADAGASCAR PENGUINS - Derann/200ft - review by Mark Norton

etc.

Members would post their reviews freely and I would update the list as regularly and as cohesively as possible.

What do you guys think?

Jean-Marc,

Thank you for volunteering! I was starting something similar but as usual, work got in the way. If you post your list I'll keep it at the top!

Thanks again.
Doug

Doug, my friend, the line between work and fun can sometimes be very blurry... [Big Grin]

I'll start the list asap and will post within the next few days.

Just hold fire guys. Brad has suggested something else which I'm looking at right now.
It would mean another item on the left menu "Reviews" or the like and then mambers would be able to click on the link to the review.
I'll get back to you with more info if it looks like a goer.
Doug, I'll email you direct with regards to this.

Kev.
