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

That's what I like to see. Lateral thinking.

I see the objectives.

OK - what about if people could send an e-mail to [email protected] which would be forwarded to you, provided you had clicked ACCEPT CORRESPONDENCE on your sign up? It might mean that all those squirly, squiggly things would have to be erased from the aliases, but that might be no bad thing.

I don't know if it would be easy to automate this, but it might be. BUT - we were not really planning to do much development on the discussions site for the time being as we have a lot of other things to do. SO, I'm really looking for more comments outside of the forum areas.

Still some good scope for somebody to post a full bug test. Maybe I'll post one myself and try to win the extra game!

DOH! beat me to post 300. About my idea, it is NOT a chat program... simply this:

It's not a chat program! You simply have a new board called "members". Each member has a topic. You can write a message into any topic, but only read messages in your own topic. It's a simple read-write tweak needed, and a new board has to be set up. The latter of these is easy enough, and I'm sure the write/read options can be set up?

I got a better idea. Who is this site for? Who visits this site? What does this site DO?

Answer: GAMES!

Why not have a shockwave game on here where we can all play against each other to post the highest score of the week? For a PS2? OK, for a mouse or something, then.

Toni has that competition as to how to improve the site... here's the answer. I have just found that me and fantasymeister are both online now, and are putting posts ontop of each other. However, we cannot comunicate directly. We can't even exchange email addresses or MSN messanger screen names, in case other people on the site read the message we post it under. So how about a very simple posting system whereby u can post notes to other people. This would work by having a topic for each person. Then anyone can write a message and post it in this topic, but only the owner of the topic could read it. Therefore, we already have the technology to get this idea up and running, it just needs to be set up.

Why not filter out the topics you don't want to see?

How about a topic filter, read whatever message is the relevant answer to your question?
