Ball Reviews in general
« on: November 22, 2016, 09:39:57 AM »
Hey ADMIN!!! Whassup? What's the deal? Every time I go to look up a ball that is currently being sold, and I want to check out the reviews on it, amazingly, "that topic has been removed" or it is somehow off limits!!

What gives? I thought this was a site where you come to look up reviews on the current equipment that is out there! Yet every time I look up a current ball, those reviews are magically missing!

I have never had a problem finding a review of any ball---current or retired. What ball review(s) were you unable to locate?

I went to the ball list. Hit numbers 44 and 48 in succession to compare reviews of both the Roto-Grip Haywire and Hy-Wire. And what I got instead, under both headings was:



An Error Has Occurred!


The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

Back

And this has happened often, when I am trying to do research!!!

Post this in site problems. This presents as a user profile issue and the admin should be able to assist you. Easiest way to figure it out is to go to those pages in a browser that you've never logged into ballreviews with. It should show up.

Will do! Thanks for the advice!

I did the same steps you posted and got the same error message.  I never tried that method before.  When I am looking for a company or ball, I usually go to Ball Reviews at the top of the page (just to the right of Ball List), then scroll down to the company, RotoGrip in this case, then look for the ball by model/name.  Both of the balls you mentioned showed up that way with no error message.

You should still send or post a message to the Admin about that error.  Something is wrong with that Ball List link.
