We do have some plans to add an "initial user tour" that would guide new users through the basics of using Review Board. This is the first I've heard of someone with your particular confusion, so I'm not sure what else we could do to communicate how comments work.
We redirect back to the reviews page after submitting a review because we want to show continuity between the act of creating the new review (the publish) and seeing the result. It's possible that it's not the best choice, but it's been that way for a long time, so changing it now has the potential to anger just as many (or more) people as it pleases. -David On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Andy Matthews <amatth...@eventbrite.com> wrote: > > why are you publishing them ad-hoc. > > When I type a comment and click "Save", the "Publish" bar shows up at the > top containing the text "You have a pending review.".
