Yes we're working on it honest - Tech's been locked in his shed but he's escaped for a couple of days (don't say I told you but he's 40 TODAY! so we thought we'd let him out). Rest assured though, it is our number one tippity top priority at the moment and we hope to have new ones up in a few weeks.

Ok so our new way of doing reviews is live and you can post your thoughts live onto the site - plus we've published all the reviews that have come in since we last updated them... so hopefully you'll get some decent and more recent 3-wheeler guidance AnAngelWithin.
With luck this will mean that they will always be a bit more current because they'll be no editing process as such - anyway take a look and let us know what you think.
Thanks,
MNHQ

Justine - I like it. I lke the 'amazon' style where you get a synopsis (the MNHQ compilation) and then hte personal reviews so you can see exactly what everyone has said individually. I also like the fact that you can see the number of reviews that make up each score so you can see how statisically valid it is (us scientists like to see statistically valid results!!!)

If you submit a review for a model not listed will it imediately posted based on the single review or will it have to wait until there is a critical mass of reviews for that product. I see my Techno XT is not on the list - alhtough I will wait a few weeks before I review as it only arrived today and I have onlu pushed it as far as my garage !!!

Hi SlightlyMadSpider,
If you submit a product not listed it won't be included until we've added some basic information - like price and pic to it.
But the XT is up here.

SlightlyMadSpider · 11/07/2007 21:09

Argh... I was looking fo rit in strollers....maybe there is a bit of cross-over. Are the product names searchable across categories at all..

MNHQ
JustineMumsnet · 11/07/2007 21:37

They certainly are.

SlightlyMadSpider · 11/07/2007 21:47

Do you think you could have a look at teh use of your (R) symbols? It causes problems when searching as your search function looks for whole words only and you can't put Volo(R) into the search term. When you search Volo it doens't find anything (but I can see it is there).

NOt sure what your legal requirements are but I think it will cause problems when searching. Presumably the Zapp is a registered trade mark but you havn't used the symbol - why do all the Maclarens have the symbol?

SlightlyMadSpider · 11/07/2007 23:00

P.S. I have found that if you search with a wildcard * at the end it finds them - but I think we need to be told to use a wildcard (or get tech to tinker so a wildcard is added automatically if that is possible?) so that people can find what they are looking for first time.

Hi Sms, thanks for letting us know about the problem with the R mark. We'll fix it.

SlightlyMadSpider · 12/07/2007 13:16

TY oh great God of Techenham...I have another request/comment.

On the page where you can see 5 reviews per page but there are 72 reviews to scroll through....I like to rank the reviews by score (which I can do) and then look at the people that say it is great and the people that say its crap (i.e. both ends of the spectrum). I don't find the mediocre reviews quite as useful.

So what I would like to be able to do is either look at the reviews on teh first page (the good ones) and then look at the reviews on the last page (the bad ones). It would be helpful if I could click a page number to select the page I want so I could jump straight to the last reviews without having to click 'next' 15 times.

Alternatively could we have the option to sort by score - lowest first so that I can put the low scoring reviews on teh first page.

Cheers
