I have always wondered who picks the pattern reviews I see on the right side of the screen when I am on the Message Board. I have only done 2 reviews so far, and I wondered if there is a minium requirement for reviews before they show up on the right hand side of the screen.

I'm simply curious is all.

This my 4th quilt in 7 months.

Carol,

I believe the previous reviews shown on the Message Board are random. Those shown while you're looking at a review are related somehow to that review ... either the same pattern, the same pattern company, or the same reviewer.

If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

I've been wondering too because I did my first review about a week ago and it showed up on the side very quickly. It really was a kick to see it there.

(Just in case you missed my beautiful niece in her flower girl dress.) . . .

I too think that they are random. I seem to recall that the idea was to give PR users another opportunity to see older reviews rather than just burying them at the bottom of the list forever.

Carol,

The reviews on the right side of the message board are random.

The ones when you are reading a review are context sensitive. In other words if you are reading a review of handbag which comes under accessories/crafts, you will see other reviews of the patterns in that category.

I have always wondered, and now I know. I had noticed that the reviews on the sides went with whatever catagory I was looking at.
