We recently made a significant change to the way we assign reviews. Previously, we never assigned a member to review the same work twice. However, after several authors dramatically changed their stories to incorporate review feedback, we decided to allow authors to review the same story if it had been edited. Was this a good or bad idea? Please share your thoughts.

Last month we announced a website redesign. This upgrade focused on eliminating the most common problems you encounter while performing and receiving peer reviews. You can start using the new site right now by going to http://beta.reviewfuse.com. We will replace our existing site with this new site in one to two weeks, based on your feedback. Please feel free to ask us questions, leave comments, or report bugs on either our blog or the contact us page. Some of the new features include:

• File upload, no need to cut and paste your story anymore, just upload it.
• Upgraded text editor, allowing you to make text bold and italic. If you upload your story the bold and italics will be preserved. Are there any other formatting features you would like us to include in our new text editor?
• The Remembrancer, a list of reminders and tips that make it easier to get and give peer reviews.
• List of recently complete reviews.
• Your Review Fuse Score. This tells you what other members think of the peer reviews you give them.

Please let us know what you think about this Review Fuse upgrade.
