[request] Review under NameFirst when you click on Rogers Hi-Speed it takes you to "No Name Stored"
Also what if somebody no longer uses that ISP. How can they get rid of that? |

Knowing your ISP doesn't make it any easier for someone to spam or hack you.. they would need a lot more information than that.
.. and it's probably still a work in progress so give it at least 15 more seconds before reporting bugs. |

And I am tagged with a defunct ISP DirecTVDSL. So it is not accurate. I need a way to delete my review, so I can write a new one for my new ISP. |

If you make a new review, it has precedence over the old one as far as your tag is concerned. Old reviews are still valid. edit: and the links to the reviews will start to work shortly... yes I know they do not work now. [text was edited by author 2003-01-13 21:55:39] |

How come it doesn't bring you to that person's review and you get "No Name Stored"? Edit: Never mind Justin just answered it while I was posting. [text was edited by author 2003-01-13 21:57:43] |

Re: Review under NameI asked over in Site Help as well, but does anyone know how to attach a review to an ISP that was not listed on the site when I did the review? |

Clicked on my tag and it brought me to a new review page. Just did a new review of my new ISP.
Pretty good of you - always one step ahead aren't you? |

So when I click write a review it says you already have a review, try to update it. But I can't change my ISP. I confused! |

AHHHHHHHAHHHHAAA So the Skrote did it.......... It's his fault, he's to blame.........:) No offense Skrote, but I STILL think it's a horrid idea, but at least your thinking of ways to make the site better and that's ultimately what counts...... |

Find the ISP first, then click into their listing, then click into user reviews, then click into 'write a review'. |

From what I can tell there is a limit of 5 reviews (I'm easily dissatisfied with ISP's). I'm on my 5th review and I don't have any plans to switch since I've finally found a good one but I clicked the new review link for kicks and it gave me a similar message. To see how many review you have on file, see this page: » ··· dslr?t=r |

Done. I assume it takes a half day or so for the change to take? |

A day, or, if you go to your forum-preferences, where you have your zip code etc, and re-save them without changing anything, it will appear much faster, 20 minutes or so. |

Ok. here's the deal. The ISP tied to my username is not my home ISP rather it's my work ISP. I'd rather NOT have my kind of critical review of them(which IS identifiable if you work in my industry....short list of clients)so easily tied down to my name..... Or in other words, how do I (or can I) make this enhancement disappear? |

Would it be possible for the name to keep going? My ISP is cut off, and it looks pretty weird. |

Write a new review of your home isp. It will over write it. Or you could just read this thread carefully. |

Actually Kasia, not entirely accurate. Ever received spam addressed to: Undisclosed Recipients at yourisp.mx1.mailserver name ? It's pretty easy to spam an ISP's MX record if you know how..... I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest here, just letting you know that it's easier to do than you think, and I don't necessairly want to make that task any easier for someone on the outside by having an ISP visible for the world to see...... |

I don't like it either. What's the point of linking to a specific user's ISP review? At least I'd like the ability to turn it off! |

That has no connection to this site. Firstly, to spam an ISP you have to do a dictionary attack. I'm sure you are not logan5@winterlink .. nobody would go to that effort (spamming 10 million names) to hit one user (you), which is the only possible connection I can think (a vendetta) between adding ones ISP underneath ones name, and something negative happening to that person. |

My new review didn't take. It still shows my Telocity/DTV review.
