Often my reviews take only a few minutes to go live (why do they take longer than this?) but after about 12 hours with it still not being online, I replied to an old thread of mine here mentioning the reoccurrence of the pr

It's been a while since I submitted my review and it hasn't been posted yet. Usually the reviews are posted shortly after being submitted but now it's taking a long time. Here's the contribution number of the review: #211207-061138-217704. I hope IMDB posts it soon. Thanks.

IMDB staff arbitrarily changing info

Highlighted Review - banded
When you see the single highlighted review, it is far too individualistic to be useful. What would be better as a visitor would be to have eg three band rating ranges - 1-3, 4-7 & 8-10 - (or similar eg 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-10) and show a top review for each of these bands, so that you are presented
