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

I think you need to change it, then log off and log back in again.

I think!

Tweak 1: Sort the links out, far too many to list on one side of the screen, fit them in two columns, one left and one right.

Tweak 2: Number of posts next to names in the forums would be nice.

Tweak 3: Make your search engine for games more 'intelligent'.

Tweaky tweaky tweaky, wasn't that in Buck Rogers?

Tweak 4: Make all cheques payable to FantasyMeister c/o Zurich Offshore Banking.

Tweak 5: Lose the white background on most pages, a nice transparent graphic of a subject relevant to the page in question would be nicer to look at.

Tweak 6: Delete the word 'Barbie' from the whole site.

Tweak 7: Merry Christmas

Lots of Love,

FantasyMeister.

I like to browse, and I find it rather difficult on your site, as there doesn't seem to be a page that lists all available PC games in alphabetical order (Or on any format, actually). Your magazine does it, so why can't your site?

Your search is great, and often finds the information you are looking for, but when you don't know what you're after and just want to see whats available, and at what price, you can't. Or not from a link I can find, anyway.

There were problems with the Redsplat front page, with half of the links taking you to the redsplat page, but this seems to be fixed now.

I'll try and have a proper look around all of the nooks and crannies of the freeola site etc when I'm not supposed to be working ;-)

What would make it a lot easier to navigate the site, especially for a 'rookie', would be to make the links at the top of the screen a little larger, have fewer of them - each console, discussions, cheats. Put everything else on the side menu.

List the games discussion forum seperately by console, N64 in one group, Dreamcast another, PS a third...

For every console have one screen where all the games available are listed, just like in the magazine, and include price, links to order, links to review, cheats and discussions.

Oh, and items that cost £4.99 - do everyone a fovour, make them a fiver or kick in a reddie anyway.


Also, maybe introducing mail order CD's could be a productive business venture?

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Very pleased
Very pleased with the help given by your staff. They explained technical details in an easy way and were patient when providing information to a non expert like me.
