So instead of creating a helpful post in the correct forum, you post a series of 'hilarious' pictures?

Why do you have footage of this? 
 
Also, always Ctrl+C substantial shit before you post it.

Why were you photographing the process of posting a review? Were you anticipating it going wrong and having the opportunity to post a series of pictures documenting the process?

And it's always prudent to keep a backup of stuff when you're posting long & detailed stuff. Anything can go wrong & you can lose hours of work, so you should keep a local copy just in case.

You're posting your complaint at the wrong forum. Also, I'm kind of surprised you actually took those pics in the middle of writing your review. I can't decide if you actually knew this would happen, in which you posted these pics and troll GB in a way that insults them because of these bugs, or you're just trying to be funny.

How to write a good review on Giant Bomb: Start reviewing the game, open up notepad, every paragraph or two, copy and paste that into notepad.

Finish up, copy the entire review into notepad and submit.

@Popskinz: Regardless, this is the thread in which you should be complaining about. I'm sure the top men are aware of this problem, and they'll take care of it. I guess wait until they get to your problem and then try to post it again.

Exactly. 1000 times.

In fact, most of the articles I write on the internet I'll write it in Word first and then post it to the site.

Sounds sensible enough, but i find it a bit odd why this glitch hasn't occured to any of my other 27 reviews.

@Popskinz: It pops up here and there. It's happened to me before, but in a different WM site. Just don't flip out or anything when you encounter a problem. Trust me, they'll take care of it. :)

Accusing someone of being a troll is the most annoying form of trolling.

It totally works too!

On a related note, this happened to me before, but then I tried a day later and it was totally fine. Maybe it's something to do with their servers? Or maybe try a different browser.

I get the feeling that for every time you clicked post review, that number of reviews will appear.

Taking pictures of the screen is hilarious though, sucks that you can't post your review.

To be frank, I think that adding another rave review to a game that has already a ton of rave reviews attached to it is a waste of time anyway. The number of people interested in reading yet another 5-star-adulation seems rather low.
