Hi folks,
 
I developed a little program that automatically exports all your reviews/ratings in text files and your avatar image on your computer, for the 3 websites of the network (Prog Archives, Metal Music Archives and Jazz Music Archives). I called it the "PMJA Review Exporter". The functioning is very easy:
 
1) Select the website (PA, MMA or JMA)

2a) For PA, fetch your reviewer ID from your reviewer page (the ID is the last number)
For example, my reviewer page is http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=11816" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=11816
=> my reviewer ID is 11816
- Enter your reviewer ID in the interface

2b) For MMA or JMA, enter your reviewer name (case insensitive)

3) Click on "EXPORT"




-> The program will automatically:
   * Export every review/rating in a specific text file per album
   * Export all your reviews/ratings in a single general file "_ALL_REVIEWS.txt"
   * Export your avatar image in file "_AVATAR.jpg"




You can get the last version, 1.0, for Windows, here (right-click, save as...):

http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/uploads_macmetal/34220/PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.jpg" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/uploads_macmetal/34220/PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.jpg
 
* Rename "PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.jpg" to "PMJAReviewExporter_1.0.zip",
* Be sure to unzip the file first,
* Double-click on "PMJAReviewExporter.exe",
* If Windows asks you to confirm the execution, say yes,
* All the files will be downloaded in:
   "<your_windows_download_directory>/PMJA_REVIEWS/<reviewer_name>/<website>".
 
Please bear in mind that the data fetch speed depends on your internet connection.
The program is for Windows only (sorry Mac fans) and only takes ~400 kb.
Feel free to write a post in this thread if you encounter an issue or want to suggest a helpful improvement. Any pertinent comment is welcomed. Smile

Handy tool Nico, I don't have many of my older reviews original files any more due to them being written that long ago. Many of these old reviews I'd like to revisit and update.

Great idea, certainly helpful for if an old review somehow gets lost or I want to easily update one. Great job! Clap

^Well actually it only takes the HTML tags from the reviews off PA, but since they don´t show here on MMA it doesn´t matter that much. I´m still hoping that Max will turn on the HTML tag option at some point, but I guess it´s a stupid dream by now LOL.
