Just had a idea for the site. Wondered if there was already a thread. Couldn't see one

Anyway... given that we've got all these flashing animated adverts everywhere, how about embedding some short movie footage of each game you (p)review? Nothing to extravagant - just along the same lines as the pariah advert.

Perhaps with the option to turn it off for those still in the technical dark ages....

It's a good idea and it's something we're working on... Quite a lot involved to get it up and running but hopefully there will be some developments on this soon!

Yeah great idea! It's already close to dial up speeds on broadband because of all the fucking adverts. Let's go one stage further and pretend we're on a 1200 baud modem.

Do I detect sarasm?

I'd like to have the 'latest articles comented in list' back, but other than that I like the new layout.

The back flipping dog thing would be cool too.

I miss the new posts star, but it's probably on its way.

And more importantly, a special star (or another icon next to it) showing which threads I've contributed to. Other forums have it and it's a great function to keep track of "your" threads.

From t'other thread:

I've made a list of over 40 bugs now, which we'll crack on with in the morning. I'll get the forum formatting stuff near the top of the list so you guys can natter away in comfort while we fix the rest of the bugs!

! Needed.

Who gets to design the Spiderwasp though?

It'd get rid of that nasty MH for sure though...

Ooh, I'd like that!
