Hi What HiFi

Any chance you can put review dates on the website?

I've stopped using the reviews section of the website for the time being because I don't know if a review is one day or one year old. I don't need to point out to you that with so many products being launched every year by every manufacturer, trying to figure out which is the latest is frustrating when the reviews are not dated.

Please can you rectify this omission

Thanks in advance

Any update on when the review dates will be added to the reviews ?  I would be really useful to see when the review was done.

It's still being worked on, I gather.

Not meaning to hassle you, but just to add my voice for support for this simple addition. Not sure if it's actively being worked on or just in the backlog - if the latter I'm adding my support here so it could be bought higher up the list.

 

Cheers

It's being worked on, as part of a range of upgrades to the site.

Hear, hear. I would like to add my weight ( all 15-stone of it Smile ) to this request. Dates are indeed very important where AV equipment is concerned.

You can always 'view source' and search for the 'dtreviewed' span tag...Laughing out loud

Indeed: in other words the data is already there - we're just working with JD's erstwhile colleagues on a means of making it visible on the reviews.
