Ratings and Reviews Don't Add Up

I notice that in my ratings column I have 2858 films rated but 2857 films actually reviewed.  Since I only rate a movie at the same time I review it there appears to be one review that has been deleted.  Other than actually going over each and every review is there another way I can correlate the ratings with the reviews?  That way I can see which review is missing and add it again.  Thanks.

Hi james_a_burgin -

I just reviewed your IMDb account and can confirm that you have both rated and reviewed an impressive 2,859 titles.

You can confirm the numbers on your Ratings List and on your Reviews List.

I hope this helps!

@Michelle

Thanks.  After 3 1/2 hours I found the "missing" review.  Apparently putting brackets"[   ]" on a review will cause it to be rejected.  So I fixed the problem.  That being said, there has to be an easier way to find out and if anybody "in a position to do something" (hint: That would be you Colonel Needham) is listening I would like to suggest that something as easy as listing the review titles similar to the ratings titles might work.  For example:  Lets say a person rates 10 films.  They are listed one after another.  Why can't the reviewed films be listed similarly as well?  Kind of like this:

Rated

xxxx

yyyy

zzzz

aaaa

bbbb

cccc

etc.etc

Reviewed:

aaaa

bbbb

cccc

dddd

eeee

etcetc

Just sayin'...
