Review under Name

First when you click on Rogers Hi-Speed it takes you to "No Name Stored"

Also what if somebody no longer uses that ISP. How can they get rid of that?

I second the above poster's thoughts. IMHO I think this an absolutely horrid idea, and should be removed ASAP. I like the privacy features this site is renowned for, and for Justin to put up something that shouts; " THIS IS MY ISP, FIND A WAY TO SPAM OR HACK ME!! " is simply not acceptable.

Knowing your ISP doesn't make it any easier for someone to spam or hack you.. they would need a lot more information than that.

.. and it's probably still a work in progress so give it at least 15 more seconds before reporting bugs.

And I am tagged with a defunct ISP DirecTVDSL.

So it is not accurate.

I need a way to delete my review, so I can write a new one for my new ISP.

I don't care if they know my ISP, I just want to be able to delete our review
Or make it like the journals where If you make a new one it replaces the old one

If you make a new review, it has precedence over the old one as far as your tag is concerned. Old reviews are still valid.

edit: and the links to the reviews will start to work shortly... yes I know they do not work now.

How come it doesn't bring you to that person's review and you get "No Name Stored"?

Edit: Never mind Justin just answered it while I was posting.

Re: Review under Name

I asked over in Site Help as well, but does anyone know how to attach a review to an ISP that was not listed on the site when I did the review?

Clicked on my tag and it brought me to a new review page. Just did a new review of my new ISP.

Pretty good of you - always one step ahead aren't you?

So when I click write a review it says you already have a review, try to update it. But I can't change my ISP. I confused!

AHHHHHHHAHHHHAAA So the Skrote did it.......... It's his fault, he's to blame.........:)

No offense Skrote, but I STILL think it's a horrid idea, but at least your thinking of ways to make the site better and that's ultimately what counts......

Re: Review under Name

I like it too Justin. I worked very hard on my review because I wanted to give some good feedback on MY experiences. Hopefully, it can help someone.

Nice job.

Find the ISP first, then click into their listing, then click into user reviews, then click into 'write a review'.

From what I can tell there is a limit of 5 reviews (I'm easily dissatisfied with ISP's). I'm on my 5th review and I don't have any plans to switch since I've finally found a good one but I clicked the new review link for kicks and it gave me a similar message.

To see how many review you have on file, see this page: »/prof/mydslr?t=r

Done. I assume it takes a half day or so for the change to take?

A day, or, if you go to your forum-preferences, where you have your zip code etc, and re-save them without changing anything, it will appear much faster, 20 minutes or so.

I think the ISP tag under our username is a good idea. If you look at the about DSLreports.com page, you'll notice that this site was founded to help users get information on broadband availability. The tags help users living in the same area as you determine popular ISPs, allow them to read reviews, and are an easy way to for them investigate their ISP options.
