Next to the new site design, the largest change that was made with this recent update was how replay reviews work. Replay reviews have now been replaced with a very simple and easy to use to replay tips system.

Do you have some advice that you want to share? Easy! All you have to do is click the "Add Tip" button in the replay comments, and it will leave a specially formatted tip to show your advice. This tip can be as simple as a single line, or as detailed as a full blown review. It's totally up to you.

Once you've left your tip, others can rate it. You can also rate other tips. If you see something that's accurate, don't hesitate to give it a thumbs up to increase its rating!

An example of what a tip looks like. The '9' in the upper right is where the tip's rating is




The tips are conveniently nested within the replay's comments so that you can read them as you skim the comments. However, the tips are also located in a dedicated tab next to the comments tab in the replay's sub-navigation.

The tips tab lists just the replay's tips, and orders them by the date they were posted


So start leaving tips and helping people out! We recommend avoiding leaving tips for well known/established players, and focusing on those who look like they could use a little help. Good luck, and let us know if you have any recommendations

Nice. I like the idea. So every player can give you some tips. Not limited for RRs only now.

The tip rating system will help filter out the good tips from the bad tips.

Asides from the fact that members have been able to write reviews for over a year, as indicated by the huge "WRITE A REVIEW" buttons liberally spewn about the old replay system, yes.

I haven't been around in awhile. As a former RR and SRR, I'm saddened to see the position of RR go by the wayside.

Hmm also true, but I think it'll encourge community-communication and makes it easier to help others. I have watched tons of replays and often I wanted to do some kind of mini-review, but always was to lazy ... tongue.gif

In this case: Good for the users, bad for lazy Replay Reviewers.
On the other hand, it might motivate RRs to write better and more detailed reviews, but only time will show ...

Reviews are a thing of the past. They won't be made anymore since you can only leave comments and tips.

Site has changed excessively. I worked behind the scenes for a long time, and I don't recognize anything that is going on in my section haha.
