Here is a mock up and how to make the front page with only 2 columns. Taken me forever to do. Paint is to simple for something like this. What does everyone think? Also I readded the Recent Threads on the left side.

Actually, I love it.

But also looking at the inverted colours version made me crave a site with those colours. ioi you talk about how sites like Gamespot and iGN have a dark colour scheme but those sites have never really caught my eye for that reason.

I wouldn't mind that setup... I also feel the same way about sites with darker colors. I never liked them, vgchartz felt different.

An old problem (from the launch of 2.0) has cropped up again- in the graphs on the front page, Others and Japan are always the same size, despite Others being responsible for more sales. America is bigger than both. It was fixed for a while, but now it's back.

excellent job with those changes. The front page now only takes ~10% CPU when idling, which is very low compared to similar websites, and 0% when in the forums.

Does look nice but I hate change :(

Oh, and the forum posts don't fit in my screen. They're all too wide with the bars down the left hand side of the screen. Take those away and the posts'd fit. It needs some calculations done somewhere to take into account the bars on the left, I reckon.

Not enough forum posts on the home page for me, either. That's all I used before. Like I said, I don't like change.



ok, there is some spare space on the bottom right of the main screen, and the PL box is now smaller than it was in the past. Could you possibly add just the first 4 games in the PL back? It acts like a mini advertisement for what is being predicted. When big games like LBP were up there it brought in lots of people.

I've only just noticed that none of this place fits into my screen.

No doubt people with nice widescreens have it fit lovely.

Spare a thought for us 1024x768 paupers please :(

I am having a slight problem with the recent post thing, much of the time there has not been a recent post, and when I go to hot topics, it says 1 unread post, but it also says that I am the last person to post

 

@Munkeh111 - some of us were having this problem with some threads on the old vgchartz so I don't think it's a vgchartz 2.0 specific bug? (Someone said it was to do with a user's posts being deleted by a mod?)

On topic: Thanks for changing the menu. SO much better now it's not flash :)

Yahoo! As soon as the main menu was replaced and isn't anymore in Flash, overall speed and stability improved. Still some Flash glitches, but they don't make the site unbrowsable anymore, now. Good job!

Flash menu has been replaced by a css menu now, should be a lot quicker and display on cellphones as well as have right click...

Good work, thanks! :D

The site runs waaaaaaayyy better now. 



I haven't read through all of the posts so someone might have mentioned this already but there seems to be some games which don't show up on the "my games" section when you add them to it. An example of this is Pokemon Gold.
