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

Good Idea in principle edgy but you cant go back to certain days, you can only go back a certain number of pages...however your idea would work i.e. you could choose to go back 5 or 10 or 30 pages!

Or when we register or edit our registration (with a handly little link that would be nice to have at the top of the page) we could have a drop down list which lets us choose how many days ago the oldest topic we want to see was posted!

e.g. the drop down menu could look like:

show topics from 5 days ago
show topics from 10 days ago
show topics from 20 days ago
show topics from 1 month ago, etc

The best way to sort out the toppic problam is to use color coding. Withthe recent say red. The ones a day or two green, one week orange, and the rest in brown.

you could miss your old topic by miles!

By moving back in stages of 10 pages at a time you would be able to see the dates and make a judgement as to whether you are somewhere near the topic you are looking for. Then flick through one page at a time looking for it.

Either way it is never likely to be easy to find a particular topic.

I think the answer to this is for the regulars to POP them to the TOP. It's pretty clear which ones are popular by the number of replies shown

Nah i thought flipping would be good, but pushing forward 10 topics you could miss your old topic by miles!
