I posted a review several weeks ago for Airline Tycoon Deluxe that never made it to the front page. I rated the game 4/5 stars, and basically said it was a fun game, albeit a little short. I didn't use any language that would be considered improper, and I felt it to be a fair and honest review.

What could have prevented my review from showing up?

I have the same problem, no idea. :|

Hmm. I thought it could have been my lack of rep, but looking at yours, I'm guessing that isn't the issue. I've been a member of GoG since July 2011, but am still classified as a 'New User', which I'm not. I log in several times a week and have purchased many games. I simply don't post on the forums all too often.

This was the first review I've ever tried to post, and probably the last. It's sad as it only encourages me to become less active in the GoG community.

I got one posted once, I had to retype it three times.
I actually fixed my 'New User' status. I didn't realize we could choose our own forum titles until I poked around my account settings. So at least there's that.

Did you cut+paste the same review three times, or write something completely different with each attempt?

Cut and paste.

Don't let the missing review throw you off. It's a pretty good community here, and worth being a participant. Anyway, have you tossed a message to Support? The site seems to be glitchy as hell right now (and has always had its quirks) - I personally have a checkout item that refuses to leave (Witcher 3 Free DLC, which I've already processed and redeemed, but it's like the cat in that song - it keeps coming back). Anyway, toss a note to Support and see if they have any solutions.

As per Darth's post above, I'll just try cut+pasting any reviews from here on out until they show. Thanks Coelo.

If I see multiple reviews from you, i'll know it worked. :P
Same thing just happened to me, however I know that GoG received it since I can no longer post a review for that game (the link doesn't appear). Is there some kind of review process?

EDIT: It took a couple of hours to show up, but its there.

I think none of my reviews EVER showed up. Very frustrating when you put some effort into this but seeing others three sentences with 2 out of 30 people find helpful.

Don't know what's happening here.
Solved? It doesn't sounds solved.
It is very sad when it is like this. I totally gave up on writing reviews myself. I suspect GOG needs more skilled programmers and/or website designers.

Sure sounds like they need some improvement in that department.
I posted a few reviews some months back and never saw a whiff of them afterwards. It's quite laughable to think that you would have to post a review, check a few hours later if it stuck and then potentially have to try again. Why do we even tolerate this kind of a crappy mess?! Get your shit straight GOG!

Are you from Finland or from Hell? :P

And don't tell me they are one in the same; I've been to Detroit!
