I have read comments you recently made on a couple of entries currently in PR forum.

Although you are not offering criticism for improving the entry nevertheless it would probably be helpful to post your 'well done' feedback in the PR fourm thread - when I have an entry in PR I find it helpful to get the feedback on one conversation thread, rather than have to check at the bottom of the entry for new threads.

Assuming you are viewing in the Brunel skin (the name bit after h2g2 in the address bar) accessing the PR thread is done by clicking on 'Peer Review' at the top of the entry on the right-hand side (just below 'Currently in')

Apologies if you were already aware of this customary practice.

Thank you. I was not aware of this. I see what you mean and will comply, though I have to say this is the least intuitive bit of Internettery I have yet seen.

I may or may not be "viewing in the Brunel skin". I have simply accepted all defaults at all times as I couldn't care less about appearance provided the content is there. For me, the screen is a bilious mixture of turquoise at the top followed by a yellow bar with orange buttons. Maybe something to do with screen resolution - I am at 1280x1024.

Until now, when I have accessed an entry in Peer Review, I have read it then clicked a link at the end of it labelled "Click here to comment on this entry" or words to that effect. If that isn't an invitation to comment and criticism...

However, I will from now on be clicking a far less obvious link with no reference whatever to making any comment on the entry.

Thanks again.

I think I made the same faux pas when I first became a researcher. As with many things it is easy when you know how smiley - winkeye
