NEW PROBLEM
I wrote a Regular review and copied some text from the story to include in the review. I placed the copied text inside brackets <...> then made my comment. After submitting, I checked and the review was posted at the end of the chapter, BUT, the text inside the brackets was missing so my comment referred to nothing the author could see. I wrote a supplemental regular review, even though I was told I would not get credit for it, and submitted it, BUT it does not show up at the end of the chapter so I have no idea if the author got it. Any idea?

Re: NEW problem

This may be related to a problem I had.  I did some investigating into the generated HTML and sent a screencap to Sol.  There's a definite bug--at least one--in the code that turns review text into HMTL.  In my case, the angle brackets were left untranslated and the browser is left to try to interpret their content as an HTML tag.  If you know how to use the 'developer tools' on your brower, you might take a look to see if that's the problem.  If not, more detail would probably help the developers investigate.  Or PM me the work and chapter and I'll take a look.  (Use the connection request for the info; I'll decline the connections afterwards.)

You might add to your report the work/chapter you were reviewing.

For now you might use double parens instead of brokets to quote things.

Re: NEW problem

I just completed another review and tried it again. Same result- the <...> brackets and everything inside them was missing. No big deal, I'll use some other method to notate what I want to comment on. Apparently what NJC said is true; either that or it could be related to the fact it's raining in Texas at the moment smile
