Thanks guys and HAPPY REVEIWING!!!

Oops made a little mistake,
here is the link in the picture : http://www.reviewcentre.com/review730395.html
double post - because i cant edit :(
yeah i had the exact same problem - aparently they have to approve the reviews so i thought it was down to that?

Yup last week I submitted 5 different ones without realising!
Just wait until tomorrow to see if it pops up
luckily i copied the review incase it went pete tong as it appeared to have done like oscar's pic.
heres my review - i`ll post/mail the link as and when it appears on the site
Ive been buying from Aria for around 5 maybe 6 years and ive only recently joined the forum community when I was seeking advise on how to overclock some of the components I bought.
I've never done anything like this before and never being part of a PC community before, I was a bit hesitant about joining as I didnt consider myself very knowledgeable about hardware. Before I knew it i was welcomed with arms wide open by a fantastic moderating team, friendly, polite and helpful forum members and of course a kind greeting from the man himself Aria Taheri (The boss!).
Having been a member of the forums since march, we often are informed of products on offer and members often contribute to product reviews with an aim to help others make a decision on what to buy as the market is often flooded with choices. One forum member asked about an LG LED monitor, which noone had previously bought as it was fairly new stock to Aria at the time so I took the opportunity to buy one myself as I had been looking for an upgrade myself.
As ive used the website many times before, its as easy as breathing to navigate to the product you wish to buy and a very simple registration process will remember most of your details for the next time you want to shop there, so the whole process takes less than a minute. I ordered the monitor around 3pm and i was unsure whether it would arrive the next day as some companies are a bit iffy when it comes to reliability - Not Aria, they stepped upto the challenge and delivered it by 10.05 the next day! The monitor itself was in perfect condition, and as a thanks from the Aria staff for being a forum member, they even threw in a 2GB usb drive - which was a big suprise to me as such a gesture goes a long way when it comes to customer experience.
Aria offer the cheapest prices combined with unmatched customer service and a very productive and helpful forum community!
I truelly cannot recommend them enough. 10/10 Big Ian

Once these links do work guys, PM me you links then i can have a read then sort your gifts.
Thanks
Andy
Just checked - still dont appear to be working.. :(
AndyCSM@Aria
20-10-10, 10:39
Il do some digging and see what i can find......
No worries mate :)
I thought reviews were added instantly so i was suprised to see it wasnt, which is why i saved it in a word file just incase it went belly up
& you have my screenshot lol :D
Ive just re-submitted it from work and its worked straight away! how bizarre!
heres the link: http://www.reviewcentre.com/review730665.html
(I pressed 5* for everything but as the resolution on these thin clients is so low the format of the site was abit abscure so it put 4 stars instead of 5!)
wait Ian , how did you get it to work - I've tried re-submitting mine & i still get 404 errors.
It's starting to P me off.
ThunderFlash
20-10-10, 12:28
Andy are you sending the small gifts out before the deadline or something?
wait Ian , how did you get it to work - I've tried re-submitting mine & i still get 404 errors.
It's starting to P me off.
I submitted it as a guest intead of a registered account and it went straight though mate.
favouratism to anonymous posters! haha
Right
I give up - that doesn't work for me either :\ , 404 once again!"
ThunderFlash
20-10-10, 14:18
Well one of us can post it for you as a guest surely if it's on here?
Yeah the screenshot is posted above , at post #22
No idea what is causing it to be honest, i've tried different browsers aswell.
If someone could post it for me as a guest - & providing it kept within the rules, that'd be great
Recently i made a purchase of a 1tb hardrive. I had used Aria before & i knew how good their service is. So where do i start - first i placed the order on the website, which was extremely easy to do however I had a problem with my Billing Details - so being a forum member, instinct told me to create a thread up on the Customer Care section & in less than 12hours my query was answered & a staff member swiftly sorted my problem! Aria's customer service left me a happy customer!
The only problem i do have with Aria is their Courier, CityLink delivered my hardrive 2 days later than it was supposed to & it's small things like that, that put me off buying from Aria.
Nevertheless - I'd recommend Aria to anyone!

Dont see why not, but it has to be a different review, or the same review on a different site.
Im not entering this week purely because I won the main prize last week.
Im going to copy it over to the other ones then :)
you can enter as many times. please post the link here so I can see....

As Aria has more than one review part on that site, does it matter which one we put it in?
heavywater
20-10-10, 18:35
If we write a review for a site that's not ReviewCentre can do still get entered for the draw? I did a ReviewCentre one last week but I still need to submit to some of the sites from before. :)
Here is my review.. Its a bit of an odd one as I haven't brought anything but you'll see what ive done hope its okay

Also id like to request the USB pen drive please

I tried submitting his yesterday and it didn't work, didn't look like there was any dodgy language in there!
I`ll give it a go in a few mins :)

21-10-10, 10:50
Andy, can we write one on another site of your choosing if this continues?
Hi Andy, I posted mine on reviewcentre yesterday evening (around 7ish) without any problems

You've signed up here with a special account making yu win straight away and post on review centre with no problems!
I want your account :)
Oscar,
I keep getting the 404 error whenever i submit your review mate, might be worth re-writing it if the filter is blocking it?
http://www.reviewcentre.com/review731164.html
ThunderFlash
21-10-10, 11:02
You get that message because they need to approve it mate.
Although they seem to take ages to approve some, or if it's Oxigin, you get straight in!
mine went through straight away yesterday too, i think its either being filtered and blocked or you can only post once from an IP to one store to prevent spamming?
ThunderFlash
21-10-10, 11:12
Possibly.
Proxy time....

Ahh yes that would make sense as it was my 1st review.. That could cause some problems!.. Bit stupid really as you could have good service from a company one week (Aria not inc :)) and then the next awful :surprised: without being able to change your view
Posted a review there twice yesterday and they wont show?? so maybe it is blocking IP's can I write one as a guest and post it if i place my name at the bottom of the review?
ThunderFlash
21-10-10, 13:17
Posted, but I bet it won't work...
not working for me either ..

Andy is awaiting the main man's word on if we can use other sites for this :)
Sorry i've not been on guys.
If i have to reword the thing to get past some security restrictions or whatever - then i think i'll give it a miss then.
Tried many times & failed & simply cannot be bothered anymore.

21-10-10, 22:22
I think it's more complicated than that tbf...

22-10-10, 11:06
No word yet im afraid as Aria is in a meeting. We will have to stick with reviewcentre.com for now guys. People still having no joy? is ot an error, or is it that the reviews have not been acceoted as yet?
He should be here later, i will ask him then.
Apologies for the messing about guys.
I think its an IP block preventing people from mass reviewing the same place?
I think they are suspicious of the resent mass of reviews.
I think we should spread them around instead of just the one place.
Mircorsofts review site has a relay bad negative with Aria,
How about some on that site?
ThunderFlash
22-10-10, 13:36

Pretty much this.
I may go to my girlfriend's and submit one later...
I think the deadline was 12 o'clock today mate

22-10-10, 13:42
Wooot.
Mine best miraculously pop up on the site then.

Please PM Andy with the prize link & address please matey :thumb:

Please PM Andy with the prize link & address please matey :thumb:
I dont think id be allowed to post how happy I am about winning this in fear of being band for indecent exposure haha.
Honestly Tom, this has solved a massive problem for me as im in dire need of some new memory and I would have liked to buy an SSD too but i couldnt afford both and with xmas round the corner my next few wage packets would have been preoccupied!
Thank you:

Congrats bigian, am jealous, really wanted that.
Mods, can we use a different site next time if possible? That site is so much hassle, I tried on three different days and not once it went through :(
Yeah Congrats Bigian
& i fully agree with Thunderflash's idea.

22-10-10, 21:06
I third the different site idea, I'd think most users that were going to post would have posted on that one by now.

22-10-10, 21:24
I think some of you guys may of been right, i think reviewcentre.com have taken issue with the amount of reviews all of a sudden, il discuss this with the chief on Monday.
Thanks to those who reviewed, and those who tried. much appriciated.
And also thanks for the free gift.
Did anyone else get the pop up after submitting the review at reviewcentre.com saying 'have you been offered free gifts/discount for submitting a review by the retailer?'
