    I've lost about 30 suggestions while I was blocked, c'est la vie, at least they are there if I ever want to review the product in the future!

    Tete, I don't think I'm going to be going tonight, feeling fluey and my knee is giving me grief.

    No - not expire, it's just that they only stay visible on your account for three months or so I think, then as I said they 'fall off' and now I can't remember what they were! I've just done a search for one of the things I can remember and it's still there - don't worry!

    ETA - I'll let her know Dinah, did you go last week, what did I miss?

    Fingers crossed for us Dippy! :D We deserve them!

    Urgh annoying about the disappearing rates! Rates are really slow too!

    Can i ask a really stupid question, for those who have probably explained it all before. What does getting a crown do? Do you get more money or something?

    No idea about the crowns Lulu! I rushed over to Dooyoo panicking that I might have lost points but whoever the naughty person was mustn't have rated me as my points are still intact!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Crowns get you £1.50. But you seem to need to be the inner circle to get them. Some people get them every review and yet they seem no better than some reviews from people who have never got a crown.

    I've had two crowns this year (my only two crowns) and both were from long reviews that were about 800-1000 words long, although I've done other reviews of this length before (eg album reviews) and not got crowns so I don't think it was specifically the length that did it. Both of my crowned reviews actually got less rates than some of my uncrowned reviews so in my case, I can't even say that you necessarily get more rates with a crown so for me it was just the extra £1.50 as the bonus.

    Following on from what Dinah said, you do seem to see the same names cropping up time and time again for crowns and I've seen some fantastic reviews that were never given the nod so quite what the criteria is is beyond me!

    Yeah i've noticed that some people have millions and some reviews that i have read and thought were great, havent got any!

    Just wrote my 3rd review of the day :D which is my personal record! I prefer it to the two i wrote earlier, so i'm gonna pop in up in a min.

    Hope everyone else is doing well on there. Dunno if its because ive exhausted it on there or what, but rates seem pretty slow!

    Just popping over to dooyoo to rate your review Lulu!

    ETA - Have you put those three reviews up today? I can only find one from the 16th as your most recent review unless I've got the wrong dooyoo username!
