orjr, I agree completely. We originally envisioned space for a few words next to the individual category ratings, but EVERY member who posted a report got truncated. So, we expanded those comment areas but we have left a HUGE “Visit Description” field for those more personal anecdotes. (That field will hold as much text as three admissions essays or so!) So far, not many have posted more than a paragraph or two in that area, but I hope that some of our talented raconteurs will make good use of that space.

fourkidsmom, we don’t have the visit area linked much yet while we are getting the kinks out. That will change. We’ll check out the “wrong link” thing to see if it’s different than what I explained above.

We can’t really transfer the reports because each report is posted by a CC member. Any member, though, is welcome to transform a visit post they made in the Parents forum, a school forum, etc. into a visit report. Feel free to encourage the members whose reports you found useful to do so.
