I found out that pasting a text fast enough in editor's box makes the editor ignore any formatting and then the review has no format tags (and has proper fonts). It seems that there is some time before browser uses the script That would explain why some fixed reviews look OK.

Just as you mentioned, no formatting makes the editor use standard format of the site. I just have to remember to copy every review through notepad before submitting. I'll let you know if I have any further problems with that.

EDIT: There's something more wrong with Polish database. A lot of games have wrong genre associated with them.

Example: http://www.abandonia.com/pl/games/9802/Abuse.html
In Polish version it's a logic game without mentioning other keywords (Sci-fi, 3rd person, etc.).
Another one: http://www.abandonia.com/pl/games/96...ts+Boxing.html
(it says it's a board game, whereas it's clearly a sports game)

I doubt that translators would make such a mistake in almost all games. In most cases, game has "board game" as associated keywords.

Moreover, in edit menu, some genres are not translated or are from different languages.
For "game perspective" I can choose "3rd person", but also Polish "Tekstowe" (text game)
For "game theme" I can choose "Management", but also "Bojovka", which is from some foreign language I don't know, but certainly NOT Polish

Was this problem already mentioned somewhere?

Another bug. A ton of games have wrong tags, and editing the main English node breaks them again:

The same "broken internal base connections", I suppose. Unfortunately, Abovo cannot resolve it, I think.

(Of course Abovo could resolve it, they just won't.)

For Polish translations it's not that bad as I go through every review and can fix these tags when fixing national letters. Other languages may have bigger problems. I wonder why tags have different connections and are not simply related to main English page...

Still, if somebody just clicks "edit" on English page and then doesn't save any changes, it still breaks the tags?

PS. Some other bug clears my "location" entry on my profile everyday, but it's not that important. I see some other users also have only comma as location, so are also affected.

PS2. By the way, can someone also see THIS POST to help me with one English sentence? Thanks in advance.

They key word here is: "BUG" :P The long story is terrible design and terrible implementation.

No. Accessing the edit form has no effect, only clicking on the "update game" button afterwards. Anyway only updaters can edit the main English page, I think.

PS. Some other bug clears my "location" entry on my profile everyday, but it's not that important. I see some other users also have only comma as location, so are also affected.

I wasn't aware. Maybe it's a recent bug because of the forum update. You can report it on the feedback board, perhaps Horseman can do something.

A lot of people choose not to enter any location, actually it was originally (after the "upgrade") compulsory to enter one, and some people complained, so it was changed.
