THIS COMPETITION IS CLOSED.

Congratulations to Rik-Rik.


There were far less bugs reported than in previous similar competitions, so I think the site must be getting better!




Roll up, roll up, here's a chance to win an EXTRA GAMEADAY prize.

All you have to do is find little bugs and problems with
the navigation
the content
our search facility
the product descriptions

of any and all of the Special Reserve Discount Network sites.

List them out below as you find them. You can post them in as many messages as you want, over a period of time, and they will all be counted together at the end of the month.

The person with the most valid set of bugs/problems will win the prize.

Please DO NOT suggest redesigns or major work.

This competition is intended for you to report small problems. But you can say "The Classemail page does not look very nice" if you want, or "I find it difficult to understand the Gameaday rules", or "There does not seem to be a link to the trolley"

Good luck.

I find the <£10 section really confusing.

It would be better, when you add new products to the section that they appear on the first page at the top rather than having it in alphabetical order otherwise I spend ages trying to find new products that are cheap.

Maybe you could just highlight new products instead.

Also having different sections like a DVD section, Dreamcast, N64, Playstaion etc... would help.

Just a few ideas that would make it more user-friendly!

Just a little point, the "domains with love" page is really uninviting, and you have to read a large bulk of text to know what it is. It might be nice to be greeted with a picture of a card, and have a short sentence, summing up the service.

Tony, for some reason I get random things in my trolley, like today there was the PC game sheep in it. While this isn't important, it can be annoying.

A small review of every game wouldn't go amiss, even if it was just a few paragraphs to summarise what the game is about. Some game title give you no idea what it is about.

For DVD's and films maybe you should consider having the preview video available for download or available to be watched as potential buyers can have a look at what they are buying...

...it would help a lot of people when choosing a film, you could have the trailer for people who want to have a look at a film before release etc...

A bit like what apple.com/trailers do, and if you decide to do this, make sure its with Quicktime. :)

I'm not sure whether it's just my or computer, but I can't get the Pokemon Silver (Streaming) video clip to work.

There are also no linking lines between the forum levels on some sites like there is with the FOG.

Nothing is returned for 'gameboyadvance'
Nothing is returned for 'rumbul racing'
Nothing is returned for 'pokamon'
Nothing is returned for 'resedent evil'

At times when you enter your e-mail address @ ukcheats the information isn't stored. So, if after inserting a 10-strong batch of cheats, you happen to want to add more, you have to enter your details over again. This didn't happen last time I did it so I don't know if the problem has been combatted, you might want to check it out mind.

I also think the specialreserve.net homepage is terrible. The customers aren't even greeted... you blast away at them straight away... join, join, join, we're so great etc. etc.

A welcome note and some pictures wouldn't go a miss! It is, at present, a load of text that people will just dismiss on first sight!!

I am surprised you don't host Diablo II, Half-Life or Black and White on your website multiusergames.com!

It would be a good idea to swipe the GBA boxart (Games and Hardware) from IGN to advertise your GBA games library, at the moment you can tell they're pathetically croped sections of a picture!!! - If that!

It would look much better and more people would feel reassured that there is actually some proof of the game and that it isn't just some fabel!

NO E-MAIL SUPPORT? You gotta be joking!? - You have customer support for domainswithlove.com but not for the rest of the SR subsites, wouldn't changing this be a good thing?

Just a few pointers...

Here is a bug/funny item, go to this address, everything looks quite normal a topic that claims to be in the FOG Prime Topics (185) and however calls itself a 'Games Not Listed Below & Requests' with the FOG Bridge still in working order and in the Games forums?

(remove the space)

Now how about that for a great find!!
Why is this? I would love to know!!!

:) Oh thats a good find, can I have a sweet?
