Not sure if it is in the process of being updated, but when i looked at my profile, I see my place in the cheats hall of fame and walkthrough hall of fame have "N/A" next to them.

Is this feature being removed, updated or could it just be an error (can't check the cheats and walkthrough section to see if it is there as my work has filtered those pages out...- could the N/A be down to this...)

I think that's a goot idea (much as I'd like a seperate 3rd prize for chat and reviews!) but putting technical and reviews together makes sense as you'll get people writing more cheats and walkthroughs which will, in turn, bring more hits to the site and I won't feel so intimidated on a thursday when the guys who write those wonderful technical posts roll up their sleeves!

Clarification on how to win, when it is judged, how many prizes and how the categories are separated will, I hope, be appearing on the Win Free Games page very soon.  Most likely it will break down to one prize each week for cheats, walkthroughs and tips, one prize for technical, chat and reviews, and potentially a third prize for challenges.

As far as I am concerned they are Any Game of Your Choice or a £30 Amazon Voucher.  That makes them AGYCOAV's.  Sounds like a name for the latest Toyota.

Anyway, officially they are now "Free Games".

Hmmm...:
    "The small images on the main forum pages "thread title" "last post"
    etc.    work fine in FF but look clunky in IE7 where the background
    displays without the gradient."

This looks like IE has some extra space (padding / margin) at the top of the row, so everything within it is pushed down, and hence out of line.

Oh there's many more than that Hmmm..., I'm mildly disappointed with your (lack of) effort!

Thanks anyway, I'll fix :)

Sorry Butch, it's gaming only from now on. Unless you want to say 'CAG' then an acronym isn't really gunna work :/

I'm with Hmmm... on this, not so sure. I like the whole GAD prizes thing. They are awarded for Gaming And Design so why not keep it?

Then again it's none of my business really!

Oh and by the way, we're no longer using the term 'GAD award' or 'GAD'. Instead we are using 'Gaming Award' or occasional 'Chat & Gaming Award'. This is as far as I am aware, anyway.

Hi, I've been away for a few days so still getting used to the new look and catching up with things - but so far it's looking good :¬)

Only the other week I had been experimenting with my own page 'framing' Freeola chat in various ways so that I could create links to move between the forums I visit easier (i.e. with one click rather than using the dropdown menu) but Freeola's anti-framing JavaScript had thwarted me!
So the introduction of the forum tabs (which is what I was trying to do) work well :¬)

Baha! So true ;P

It feels like someone has broken into my house and rearranged all the furniture while I was out ! :)

Not sure what my favourite part was... probably either the hall of fame frames or the little icons next to threads :P

Thanks :) Any feedback to give, please post it here.

I think ButchML just volunteered to stay late until it's all sorted ;D

Not quite, luckily.

Just a bit of re-jigging and some necessary maintenance is all. The changes affect quite a few of the files/pages though, so like Tim said, please ignore any temporary errors and refresh the page after a few minutes.

ommmm! I'm telling on you! Spamming thing thread with blank messages :P
