New Review this Item!
Hi,

Firstly I must say how much I am enjoying finding all these new additions to WDC. I love the new social tools and the new review area is really clear and simple.

However, I have one suggestion that is a matter of opinion. The 'Review This Item' button that comes up when you first load an item is a little distracting. I understand it's to get people reviewing more, but I find it detracts from what should be the main focus of the page - the writing. Now, I am not wholly opposed to this new feature, I think more chances to get reviews is great. Personally I would like to see a little cross next to the message so we can close the notification. That way everyone would see the message but have the option to dismiss it. Or, perhaps, it could only pop up when you're halfway through the item, or after a certain length of time. In fact, how about if the option to dismiss the message is added that the message pops back up after a set period of time, perhaps 5 minutes?

I really like the idea, but feel it needs a little tweaking. In its current form it is drawing my eyes away from what I am reading as it is rather bold.

I don't know if other people hold my opinion, but I thought I'd air it anyway.

Thanks,
Matt
