Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

I've given the entries in our lens review database a fresh look, and also added a couple easy-to-see 'add review' buttons so that users aren't confused when trying to add a review (should they overlook the text link).

In addition, I've made all usernames clickable in the review postbits; they will lead to a page giving an overview of that member's other reviews. Note that this page is still under construction, but should hopefully be up by the end of the night.

See the attached screenshots for details! Enjoy! First first is after, the second is before.

The index page for individual users has now been implemented (after much sweat

).

Access it here: Pentax Lens Review and Specification Database

It takes the ?userid= parameter and defaults to yourself if none is provided; links to it from member profiles will be established shortly.

The links have now been added to user profiles. They're accessible under the 'statistics' tab for every member.

Nice incremental improvements to the site. It's good to see things steadily getting better and easier to use.

Looks great, Adam... certainly easier to find the bits you need to.

Should say 'the first'

oops!

Good idea, nice work.
