Hi, I'm having the dickens of a time working this website. First, I can't figure out how to load any pictures into my photo album so I can include pictures in pattern reviews, but that might be my computer. Second, I wrote a pattern review draft and saved it, but I cannot find it anywhere. I went to Help and found the question about saving drafts and went to My Page like it said, but it's not there...and something about the upper right corner?? I have written it twice and saved it twice and lost it twice...but then again, no sense trying to post a review if I can't get a picture up. But where are my two (nearly identical) saved drafts???

Lots of answers to your questions on the 'help" tab. On the review you wrote - look carefully - I say this because I did it last weekend. Couldn't find it at first but it was there!!! Top right of the box. Hang in there - it gets easier as you get more familiar with what is here!

Hi, thanks for the encouragement. I finally found where on My Page to look for it, but it's simply not there. I tried it a third time and saved to draft again, but it still didn't show up. I know you have to have at least 100 words in the review, but is there a maximum number and I've gone over??

In order to save your sanity, you might write your review in Word or some other word processing program and copy and paste it to the PR format. That way if you lose it, you dont have to rewrite it again. I had the same thing happen to me a couple of times, and it does make you want to tear your hair out, doesn't it?

I tried making a "fake" review of jibberish, and that one saved just fine, so it does work, so I don't know what's up. And yes, from now on I will write my review elsewhere and then copy and paste it here so it's not lost completely!

I copy the basic review info and paste it into a word document. That way, if you look it over, save it for posterity, etc., etc.

Then, when you have completed your review, you just copy and paste it back to the pattern review document. It really works well.
