			<description>It has been quiet around here recently, does anyone actually visit here anymore?



Any way. I may be jumping the gun somewhat here but I have noticed that Ciao appear to be fixing the odd bug or making a few minor changes.



Granted this is only a few things in a minefield of errors. For example I just noticed to daythat updated reviews appear in the correct order of things once again, that is reviews updated on a certain date appear on that date rather than the orignal date the review  ...</description>

However, I discovered some reviews on Ciao that covered a product not even listed on Dooyoo.  After reading them I wanted to rate and comment on them, only to discover that on Ciao you can't rate or comment until you've written at least one review that's been rated at least &quot;Helpful&quot;.

Now I come with a specific issue. I have updated a review, it updated fine, showed old date and updated date was brackets. Fine. However it does not appear at the top of my review list where I want it to be. Of the two options Ciao gives for the updated listing I checked for it to be shown at the top of my reviews (the first option I think) but it hasn't shifted from the old position i.e. that of the original date of the review.

They are going to be selecting a different product each week and giving prizes for the 3 best reviews on it.  I think they have been spying on the Dooyoo site and getting some ideas from them.  Do you think they are getting paid commission for rising sales of that product?

I could upload my Ciao UK reviews over to Ciao France.



Except that when I tried to join Ciao France, I got stuck on the menu where you select the country where you live.  Because you have to give your address details, obviously, I need to select Uk or Great Britain from the drop down menu except I cannot find the words UK or Great Britain (or should I say La Grande-Bretagne) at all!



Am I being fick?

			<description>I've just put two reviews up.  The first one appeard with no problem.  the second one must have appeared at some time because I have 1 rating on it - but when I happend to look on the New Reviews page - it doesn't appear!  As it went up after the first review and the first review is still on the front page, I find it odd that the second review has either appeared and disappeared (why else would it get a rating?) or .... well.... what?    </description>

Do you politely ignore it, read the review, but say that asking for reads is not a polite thing to do on a review site, or read it and move on, or what ? If it's a new person I think there is an element of "ignorance" and I would read their review, although not feel obligated to, then explaining to them in guestbook that it is frowned upon to ask for reads.</description>
