Can't post a review [SOLVED - write it short and then edit it]

So basically the review I wrote was around 7500 characters long and when I hit the button to post it, the button just disappeared and nothing else happened. Is there any limit to how long it can be or any other explanation to this? (or possibility that's being controled or something?)

No, there is no limit to reviews and character numbers. I imagine it was just a glitch. There is no way for anyone else to control your reviews, so that is not it either. Did you reviece an error message though?

No, I don't see any error or anything in general happening.

I tried it with Google Chrome and Firefox and got the same result.

Wic Feb 12, 2015 @ 2:24am

How about Opera? (I don't want to install it atm)

Same thing here. Hope it gets sorted soon!

So there actually is limit to how long the review can be.
8000 characters(with spaces and newlines) it is, to be exact.

Yes I tried posting a review yesterday and just moments ago and still am unable. You put your review and when you say Post It the button disappears and it just sits there without actually continuing on to say its been posted. Really annoying.
