I want to know about all Road Tests and Reviews. But, I don't want to get an e-mail about every jot and tittle that has been changed on the Page.

That was my mistake. I keep updating my review, trying to deal with alignments and so on, and i just get information that each change will send email to subscribers about this review.
So my option is to start thread in somewhere else, where no one will get notification about it, and then i get it right update the real one, and delete that post.
Again, sorry

Hi Kilohercas, that's ok... I'm not blaming you. I know how frustrating getting the formatting anything to work right in the Review Editor on this Site. I figured out that if you edit your work in an HTML Editor, Not a Word Processor like MS Word or Open Office, Libre Office, etc. Things will work much better. Tour Text will not have any Strange Characters, Returns or Spaces. When you copy and Paste them into the Element14 Site Editor. I've worked with Web Sites since 1998 and this formatting issue, has always been a problem with Online Web Site Editors. There are many formatting features in a Word Processor. That just don't work in HTML, PHP or ASP, etc. I use Thunderbird e-mail Client to Edit my stuff for Web Sites. Since I use it every day for my e-mails. And I use it for my e-mail and also to Post to my Blog, every day. Here's my Reviews that are on Element14 and my Blog, (http://donsdeals.blogspot.com/2012/10/beginners-view-of-ti-430boost-cc110l.html)
and (http://donsdeals.blogspot.com/2011/09/beginners-guide-to-ti-msp-exp430fr5739.html). I edited them in Thunderbird. Which I have set to edit in HTML, not Text mode. Then I e-mail my Post to my Blog. After that, I Copy and Pasted them from my Blog, into the Element14 Editor. I figured this out, after many attempts to upload images to Element14 and make them look nice in the Editor. This is the easiest way for me. You, can also just copy and paste, directly from your HTML Editor. But, if you have images in your Article. They wont work unless you have them hosted on the Web. Some where, that allows "Remote Image Linking". I have read many Posts, in the past about Image Uploads not working right on the Element14 Site. And I had this problem, when I did my reviews too. So, this was my fix. Although, I have been able to upload images, at times, since then. The problem seems to keep coming back. Anyway... That's how I do it. I wouldn't worry, about how many times I update my Thread. It's something, that has to be done, to get things looking right. You can see. That my images are not laid out all that attractively on my Reviews. But, at least they are there and the Text has pretty good formatting now. No strange Characterless, lurking now. I think... (http://www.element14.com/community/roadTestReviews/1356#comment-23199) and (http://www.element14.com/community/roadTestReviews/1131#comment-23200).

I'm sure that the Multi-Notification thing, is an Element14 Site issue. Either in how the e-mail notifications are configured or it is actually a Bug in the Site. And I may have figured it out. I'll have to see if the changes I made in my e-mail notification settings fix this, over the next few days.

Hope this helps... Well, I could have read your entire review, by now...

P.S. I wonder if you can Save each change as a Draft. And then later Publish the finished Review. This is a common Feature in Web Site Editing Tools. And would help with the mediate problem of Multiple Notifications. I tried to go to one of my Reviews and try this out. But, when I clicked on Edit Review. I got an Error Page, instead. Dang!:O...

I have the same issue, actually I was about to unsubscribe from email notifications completely. I hope there's a better solution since I'd like to receive notifications, just not every comment.

Victor G.

you know what, if i write review as blog, it has check box for : "Minor edit, don't send notifications"
So this should be done for roadtest page, not just blog page editing.

Hi Linas,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed Road Test, not everyone takes this much trouble to do a good job.

There are problems with the online editor (as you have found) so it is easier to compose everything offline in a word processor. Get everything looking nice and then convert to a PDF file.

When you are happy with the result you can upload it to the 'Documents' area listed under 'My Content' in your 'Profile' page. You can then just put a link to it in the actual Road Test document that you are currently editing. Just put a short description first and then the link.

Don't upload the PDF directly to the Road Test because this function is broken! It tells you that the file is there but nobody will be able to download it.

I'm pretty sure that people won't mind clicking on a link to see the Road Test and it has the benefit of being downloadable as well for offline viewing.

I hope this helps you out. Enjoy your 'scope!

Regards,

Alan

I do all my editing in this post, and i can check "Minor edit, don't send notifications"  each time i do some changes, as you can see, it looks much better. Still fighting for spelling errors, sizes and so on, but if element14 can send me gear like that, i can spend some time to write review to mach it

Wow such Road Test  "Road Rage".    

Give the guy a break he was just trying do a good job.

I'd suggest just filtering all emails to a special inbox.

I do this for a lot of stuff (work included).  Keeps my phone relatively quiet, then you can scan through based on subject.

Looks great, Linus!:) I wonder, if a person wonated to paste their finished Review back into theri Original Road Test Editor (After the Edit Function is fixed, that is). Would the Fromatting stay the same and look this good? I would think so. Since it was done on the Element14 Site Editor. Just in a differeent section of the Site. I'm thinking that the Companies who give out the Products, are only going to bother to read the "Official" Reivews on the Site. They may not even notice this page. And I also wonder if the Site Search Engine will find these pages as well too. Still, I think it is great the you have done what ever it took. To make a great looking and Detailed Review. Thanks for all the work and time you put in on this one...

Either in how the e-mail notifications are configured or it is actually a Bug in the Site. I don't know which. I made a Thread on this too, at (http://www.element14.com/community/thread/26500). And I may have figured it out. I'll have to see if the changes I made in my e-mail notification settings fix this, over the next few days. 

Update: I have been working on Posting my Review on the XBMC Solution Bundle, http://www.element14.com/community/roadTestReviews/1577. And I was having the same problems with the Formatting. No odd Characters, in mine. But, there are these seemingly Random Spaces in my text and in my links too. None of this is present on my Blogger - Blogspot Page, http://donsdeals.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-xbmc-raspberry-pi-solution-bundle.html. Just in the Element14 Edited Pages. I even tired the trick of making a Blog Post on Element14 and Saving it as a Draft. Like some people suggested in their Posts. But, no luck there either, for me. I still had these issues. Even when I copied my work from my Blogger Blog, as I have don in the past. And when I tried coping it from Thunderbird e-mail client, as I mentioned before. I even tried editing the Post in Open Office and saving it as an HTML file. But, no go...

I did notice, something while making the Blog Post, though. Element14 uses a different format than Blogger (which I use) does. I got a clue, when I saw that, the Blogger Blogs can't be imported...

The Jive SBS system can currently import text files that have been exported in the Movable Type import format, which means you can import blog content from the following blogging systems:  

• Movable Type (documentation)
• TypePad (documentation)
• WordPress (documentation)
• Roller (documentation)

Go there... http://www.element14.com/community/blogs-edit-blog-upload!default.jspa?blog=13879

So, I tried something that I had thought of on my firs day of Editing my Review. But, didn't do. I tried using an old HTML Editing App. That I have used for years.  Kompozer, http://kompozer.net/download.php. And it worked like a Charm!:) All of the odd Spaces are now gone and I didn't have to try and edit them out, one at a time, manually!:) Doing this to text, is a real pain and doing it to links can break them. Kompozer, is an older App and it doesn't look like it is still in development. But, it still works great and it is available for Linux (which I use) and Windows too. You might want to check it out (I edited this Post in Kompozer too). Hope this helps...
