A few tweaks to our College Visit reports

We’ve implemented some revisions to our [College</a> Visit Reports](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/]College”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/). Most of these are fairly subtle, but here are a few you may notice:

  1. Visit reports you post are listed in your profile now - for example, check out CC member [quiltguru’s</a> profile](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/member.php?userid=37271]quiltguru’s”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/member.php?userid=37271).

  2. The text boxes in the visit report entry form now have characters counts and warnings so you won’t unexpectedly have an answer cut off.

  3. URLs are simpler and easier to type (if you need to type one for some reason).

  4. The “most popular” list on the College Visits home page will update automatically

  5. Visit reports link to the posting member’s CC profile page and also show the number of forum posts.

There were a few other technical fixes and minor navigation improvements.

The new version seems to be stable, but if you spot any problems please post here. Thanks, hope you find this feature helpful!

The link to UVA [url=&lt;a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/report_browse_letter.html]here[/url”&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/report_browse_letter.html]here[/url</a>] (under CC Top Universities) is messed up.

Also the “rating” catagory on the reports list should be changed to something like “review rating”. Right now it sounds like it’s the rating the reviewer gave to the school.

Fixed the UVA link, thanks, GF. I see what you mean about the “rating” column - we’ll do something with that.

Why not have a link on individual schools’ fourms to thier respective college visit reports?

***? Many colleges that I am interested in have been taken off the list. (i.e all the SUNYs) Did you really take them off or is the link missing?
Thanks.
