There are two new forms on the page where you write a review. They are for a caption that goes under each screenshot that you include. The captions are written under the screenshot, but they also become ALT text for the screenshot (for those not versed in HTML, ALT text is the text that sometimes appears if you stop and place your mouse over an image). We haven't decided whether to make these optional or required yet, but for now, go ahead and fill them in. It makes for some more fun. If you wish to see what a review with captions looks like, you can view any of my reviews, including the new one of Urban Fantasy I just added.

Thanks go out to Inferior Minion for adding this neat little feature! Enjoy.

Yes! I remember back when Reasonably Septaweekly did OHR reviews and Haggard put the captions on the screenshots. I found them quite funny. It's also a fun way to take a low blow at spelling mistakes in games.

just remember that some internet browsers do not support ALT text.
I for one, use a browser that doesn't support it.
mainly because it displays the link address most pictures point to, so it lost the ALT feature.

Well....that's why the screenshot has both Alt Text and the same text below it...originally it was just going to be Alt Text...but everyone sees it this way...

Hmm, I like this idea. Would it be possible to go into previously posted reviews and add the comments? I wouldn't mind adding captions to my reviews. They be neato.

I may not be IM, but I do know that, yes, you can edit your previous reviews. While you're at it, feel free to fix any of the mistakes I might have made when transferring your review from O : OHR.

I was under the impression that only admins had the power to edit the reviews, especially considering there is no place to edit an already-posted review. Anyway, Pepsi, e-mail me with what you want for each review.

We can't edit our own reviews, unless we're adding reviews we wrote at O:OHR to CP...
