A small suggestion
Posted by Uncle Monty on 29 March 2010 - 11:45am.
Firstly, an apology - Fraser, I suspect there were probably a billion copies of my Night Out With Tom McRae on Friday. Sorry about that. I had real troubles submitting it and assumed that I hadn't posted it at all...
Secondly, is there any way we could have a character counter on the review templates, or at least something telling you how many characters you've used when you preview it? I resorted to copying it into Word and using that but the magazine Word and MSN Word had a disagreement over how many characters I'd written. It was slightly irritating and at one point I thought I'd just give up for good.
Anyway, this is not intended as a complaint; just a suggestion that veered off into a moan.

I had that problem too
it was fiddly going back and forth pasting etc. Also you have to get it totally right first post as you can't edit later which is good and bad.
Character count
It's on the to-do list.
On the plus side
It don't half give you a lesson in brevity! My initial attempt at "a night out with" had to be trimmed and trimmed before it even began to fit. It was a great exercise in getting to the point.
