I have no idea, But yes it is crazy.
The majority of them go to the same place anyway. ie. All PC, PC Parts and PC Peripherals all go to the same site. We are just making sure you are totally confused. :)

Yes and No.
The site itself is fairly easy to navigate and the way the forums are layed out is certainly better than any other forum I've been on, but the only search engine on the forums is hidden and even then it's not very comprehensive.
The links on the left are good, but could do with being spaced out more or making it easy to pick between different consoles/items. There should also be a link on the left straight to fog chat (here) so that as soon as you get to ukgames.com, you can click once to get here.
Looking at the games lists or hardware items can be a bit of a pain too, it would be nicer to look at other sites that sell games (yes, there are some!) and the way they list them when you do a search or look at the charts. Though having all the information there is nice, it does make the list look quite crowded and cramped and you don't even get any pictures next to them until you choose a single item.

Yeah, my res. is 1024 x 768 and there about 1/4 of the screen thats just white nothingness..
yeh there are too many links. Put fewer on their and make em bigger.
my main problem though is that because of my screen resolution i have SR covering just over half of the screen then white nothingness covering the rest (well not the screen, the window) ah i dunno.

Why do you have 'All PC' at the top of every new list of links? Surely uyou only need 1, right next to the other PC stuff?

Bingo! I totally agree :)

Yes.
But only because i've not been here for a while.
For the page to fit perfectly, you need to have a really small web font, or an extremely small PC monitor; I think having slightly larger writing would help... I know you can change it, but the web-page goes all out of sync.
I also think it'd be a better idea if you split the web-site. Because PC is so vast and has quite a few sub-areas... "PC Parts" "PC Peripherals" etc, it might be worth splitting the web-site like we did with the FOG Forum, thus freeing up more room for A) Pictures, which there isn't enough of. And B) A bigger font, which would help my eyes... especially after a 3-hour session on TimeSplitters 2.
You could have http://PC.SRDN.COM - and - http://GAMES.SRDN.COM.
Just an idea.
The main problem is the small writing for members with large monitors, and the fact that most people will just see all the white writing down the side and shudder at the thought of filtering through it to find their desired link.

Have I found it hard finding my way around the site? No, not really. Not in the sense hard but maybe a little annoying. When I tried to view the cheats I had to keep typing in my email address and postcode, that's probably just me being lazy though :P The layout down the left hand side is really useful because I didn't spot that little search box until this morning :) To make the writing on the left hand side stand out more you could change the colour of the writing for each thing, maybe?
