Summing up
I think we need to make the search more obvious, reduce the duplication on the links to the left, and consider a redesign at the very top of the page to separate the menu links from the banners. Oh yes, and we need to make Gameaday.co.uk more attractive to look at, and we need a home page.
Coming soon - SpecialReserve.com !!! You heard it first here.

Good point. It's difficult trying to be all things to all people. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating and we are ahead of the pack in numbers of visitors and page impressions - and that's official from independent internet analysts.

I must say this rates very high on observation to me. I agree with some of it, but not all of it, and I think the "search thingy" comment is particularly relevant. Well done Hercy

Wait I mean no!
Told you I was stupid ;)

Yes. I'm stupid.
The site used to have those subheadings, but not anymore for some reason.
I think the navigation is alright, only improvement I think could be made is if you had subheadings like 'consoles', 'games', 'PC hardware', 'DVD', 'domains', 'ASDL' etc. and when you put your mouse over them a menu came up to the left with the options like 'PS2, Gamecube, XBOX'...know what I mean?
Might have been mentioned already but damn, the thread is long.

Another good thing is that you have seperate domains for everything of importance. SO you have ukgamecube and ukchatforums. This is less confucing than having to type in say www.ukgames.com/gamecube
