So this is something that's been on my mind for a while now, and I've only just been reminded this section exists lol.

As things are now, user reviews are a black void of visibility. They're worked on and submitted, and after that, they're not seen. It's not to say people wouldn't be interested, moreso that the site itself has no means of finding these without intentionally going in the review section and scrolling down.

I think it would make a lot of sense to have user reviews, and official ones for that matter, show up in the recent content bar, and get bumped with comments the same way a thread or question in the Ask section would.

It seems like such a simple idea, but that small bit of visibility could be what gets a few more people into writing, and sharing their opinions in a review format.

We could perhaps also have a box on the portal for user reviews?
What if you split the existing Reviews box into two and, instead of it showing the 5 most recent official reviews, it could show 3 official and 2 user ones?

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    In my opinion on all other factors they are pretty much the same.
