I have found that after uploading my revised chapters on the site it is taking ages for them to be reviewed. I had two quick reviews initially and then another within a couple of days but the next one took four days and now it is two days since then and the chapters have not even had a review allocated. I have 8 reviews in my bank and one available to be deleted when a review is done. Does it normally take this long?

Thanks Elise

The site is very sluggish at the mo, probably due to the time of year...low energy levels, the run-up to Christmas, no NBA thingy to strive for, the simplicity of clicking a button to request an assignment and no comeback when you do nothing. Some members are having problems attaching credits to their work. I only ever have one or two in the bank. I can't see the point of accumulating credits to have them sitting idle. Things will pick up...eventually. You can always supplement the dearth of feedback by signing up with another site. Hang in there.

Join the club. I'm in the same boat as you are at present. I'm averaging one review every 10 days at the moment, wheras before, I barely had enough credits to keep requesting reviews!

But look on the bright side, it's giving me the opportunity to review my Chapter 2.

If you're interested, I could do a FW for you?

Thanks for the answers to my question. It makes me feel a bit better. I am still waiting now after another four days its been over a week since my chapters were sent out and I have mailed the site enquiring why. Perhaps a couple of people have been given my chapters to review and both have not done a review. I would appreciate any FW reviews. Thanks to you both again for your good advice and would be happy to do the same for either of you if you would like me to. Have a good weekend ...best Elise

No problem. Consider it done. I'm printing it out now as I type. I'll take a look at it and get back to you in the next few days.

All the best.

On this subject, browse through the threads. I think you'll find it pretty much covered as regards theories, explanations and advice goes. You are not alone.

Elise, if it's the piece I previously reviewed-I'd be happy to do a FW. You will know I am full & frank in my reviews, if only to avoid that rampantly contagious condition known as ENCS (emperor's new coat syndrome!) Let me know via MBs or my biog e-mail. just let me know via MB or my e-mail on my biog.
