i know it sounds like a waste, but the easiest way is to simply click modify on your post in personal area, copy the post contents, and make a new post in the mini review section and paste the contents..

as an administrator i ican also MOVE your post, but the only problem with that is that it will get sorted as if it was written a long time ago.  you can send me a private message to work out more details.

mouser:
I will see what i can do to improve this - i think ideally we will just establish a better system for writing reviews.

Hi mouser, about the html review template that I used for the notetaking one, is there a way to preview the webpage while I am working on it?  When I was using it, I could never tell what the end result was going to look like until you actually put it on the site.  Something about php being difficult to preview or something.

Sounds good.  One thing I was thinking of for the next notetaking roundup, since there will be a lot of content, I'd like to split it up in a few more pages accessible by clicking on links, so that everything won't be in one long page.  I don't know how to do this, but hopefully it won't be too hard.  Thanks.

Looks like the best way is to use the first method. The only thing that will make it a slight hassle is that of uploading the jpgs. Will have to put them in the right order or the jpgs will be all jumbled up.

Ideally there should be a way to select multiple jpgs and they will upload in sequence.

Also, there seems to be no way to insert a new jpg in between previously uploaded jpgs, or for that matter, reordering them when changes are made to the review.

That said, there should of course be a way to just Move the post and still have it reflected as a new post. Of course, this could just be a limitation in the forum software.

mouser:
your comments are good and i think i should add a mod to the forum to let admin adjust posting date which would solve the move problem.

another hint:
you can actually easily change the order of images in your post to reflect the upload order,
for example use
--- ---[attach=3][/attach] to say where to show the 3rd attachment, and
--- ---[attachthumb=3][/attachthumb] to show 3rd attachment as a thumbnail where you want it.
