Re: ZXSR bugs
Yes. ZXSR already has the correct author for the individual title:

Re: ZXSR bugs
Hi guys. You may have noticed that the ZXSR Reviews aren't rendering at all on here and it appears to be because the hosting company, Somee, are "experiencing issues".
Hopefully it'll be back sooner rather than later.

Re: ZXSR bugs
Back up and running.
No mention from the hosting company about what went wrong, but as I don't pay a penny for it I'm not going to make an issue out of it.

Re: ZXSR bugs
According to ZXSR, Planet 10 overall score in Crash review was 26%.
However this review has 2 different scores and no overall score.

Re: ZXSR bugs
In ZXSR, reviews of Komplex are incorrectly associated with Komplex City.
Only the SU #43 review refers to Komplex City. All others refer to Komplex.

Re: ZXSR bugs
IMHO it makes more sense to store these ratings in ZXSR as ratings (without overall) instead of pure text.

Re: ZXSR bugs
Thanks for all of these Einar, much appreciated!
I have made the adjustments where necessary and they will be present in the next version. It doesn't surprise me that there's a few incorrect SU review scores - SU is due another sweep and hopefully most of these errors will be picked up.
I'm also aware that I did say I would make a new version of ZXSR available last week but unfortunately life has got in the way. Long story short: I've broken a rib and pretty much in agonising pain most of the time. I will get a version over to you as soon as I can but I'm conscious of rushing something in my state.
Planet 10
I don't think this one requires adjustment. 26% is the official Overall score but there's a strong disagreement between the main reviewer, who gave it 26%, and the other two reviewers who gave it 79%. Didn't really want to add two separate reviews for it so 26% is the official score with the review text containing the other reviewers score.
Komplex/Komplex City
Always had a blind-spot with these two. All have been adjusted to Komplex apart from the SU #43 review that stays as Komplex City.
The Writer/The Last Word/Tasword III
Agreed. Those ratings are far better off in the Scores section rather than pure text. They have been swapped.
The following titles have all had the scores corrected:
3D Bat Attack
Battlezone
Dr Franky and the Monster
Micro Mouse Goes Debugging
Nether Earth
Skull
Star Raiders II
Talisman
Thrust II
Winter Sports
Xavior
Ramprint

Re: ZXSR bugs
You are welcome!
There's no hurry. I hope you get well soon.
In every other case of different reviewers giving different scores, ZXSR ratings contain all of them, with no overall score. In this case, ZXSR rating is only considering the opinion of a reviewer and ignoring the other 2 reviewers. This seems inconsistent to me.
Moreover I don't think anyone seeing that Crash gave it 26% will get the right information about the conclusion obtained from actually seeing the review...
