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

Thought of another quick idea. How about having a forum for trading 2nd hand stuff. I for one would love to find some old gear! It would basically be run at the buyers risk, but that's the same with the 2nd hand section in games master and many more.

An even more elaborate version would be if SR got involved. Maybe both the buyer and seller sends product and money to SR, and gives a 10% commission to make sure they get the goods?

Obviously the second idea would need a whole new SR department, but the first one isn't too hard. Like ebay, but devoted to hardcore gamers!

Some sites ask for your modem speed, perhaps you could have versions for people with different modem speeds.

I think the Christmas lights were affecting this. We are quite conscious of page loading times but there is not a lot on most of these pages to slow things down. i.e. not many graphics.

You need to sacrifice something to make page loading faster, it is quite fast when you leave your Temporary Internet files alone, but that just uses up more space.

Meka is right, we are concerned that the list would become invisible. We are working on other ideas though, to avoid the extra page loading

Actually they do this on purpose! It's so that we don't forget about the other forums.

Else is a case of the popular forums get more popular, and nobody writes in the others.

The shortcut to the future of gaming forum on ukdiscussions.com
takes you to the forum listing instead.

You might want to fix that!

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Easy and free service!
