If you mooch about on the Special Reserve and Freeola sites you'll find little problems or annoyances. e.g. why can't I do this, I can't understand that or couldn't we do the other.

So we would like your comments in this BUG TEST. An extra prize will go to the person who contributes the most to improving this site with little tweaks or solutions.

LITTLE TWEAKS are the operative words. You will not win anything for suggesting that we spend £35 billion on a re-design.

You must post your comments under this topic (or the similar one on the Playstation 2 forum) to stand a chance of winning.

Good luck


The Winner will be decided on Christmas Eve

Sometimes you repeat your stuff too many times!
I know most people's not coming on because it;s near Christmas, there's no point in coming into a deserted forum.

I think you should scrap the whole new search engine and make a link which takes you to the refined search. Bu doing this you have a reason to remove the banner down the left hand side containing Ukgames, ukdreamcast, ukn64 etc. This would make the site less confusing than it already is.

I know Tony, i think you should get rid of some links and make some links larger so you can read them more easier.
Why do you have discussions map anyway? If you could take that away you could fit quite a few things on there.

Some splendid stuff going on here.

It'll take us a while to get around to dealing with it all.

I had a quick look at this and agree it was quite good, but it would have caused some technical problems further down the road. However, I'm sure it's something we can add back on at a later date.

Yep I have read it, but my idea of a little tweak is a little bit of redesign.

Oh, and bring back FB fantasy!
I should have won but I got cheated!

I have another idea!!!
Um...
Oh yeah - there should be some better offers - well SOME offers at Special Reserve, like special discounts when you buy 2 or more games or something: Or get 1 game free when you buy two games over £30 - something that will help to generate sales by encouraging people to buy!
How about having a loyalty points system? the reddies idea is very confusing, and i keep losing them: surely there could be the online equivelent?


What do you think tony?

There SHOULD be a section where we, the people of ye olde future of gaming et al discussions forums, are enabled to write news stories, just like ali does on the front page. We should be able to sunmit a rumour or something, and then it could be broadcast on the front page as there isn't enough decent news stories. Oh, and as for the one about Sega and Nintendo sitting in a tree? Well it seems as though Sega have discovered a brain cell amongst them that allows rational thought and good business sense. I'm sure you all know what I mean, SEGA ARE letting sonic run riot on the gameboy as they don't see the little handheld as any threat to the Dreamcast. This could be very profitable for them: the GB userbase is somewhere around 130million, so Sonic could prove VERY popular for them. Everyone knows it's better than Mario...

Oh, yeah, back to the tweaks ideas - I think that a rumour mill should be introduced. We can submit a rumour, and then the best rumour for the week can receive a memory card or something!
Ok, thanks
