I love everything except the site is using way to much cpu power now, especially the frontpage. Thats the only thing I would like to be improved.

Wait isn't even more bias now because two consoles are white and only one is black?

I think real professional look would be like this:

Kotaku? You're joking right? Even VGC 2007 looked more professional.

If this table is green then good if not there's a bug.

@Giglamesh - I can't see anywhere on the game page where it could go but I definitely agree about things like mailbox, profile pages.

My plan is to have a standard left sidebar that will provide personalised notifications - the recent forum posts fits into this - and have it on all community, forum, mailbox pages. News, games and the homepage have got too much going on already really imo.

Well I meant here (below). It would be nice to have it on a game page but there doesn't seem to be any room.

I can't edit my last post in chrome.

The background color is supposed to be green not the boarder.

I was wondering if there were going to be any new featutres for the compare console pages? I would personally love to be able to compare year over year for the same and mutiple consoles. The the moment if I want to make a comparison I have to extend the time index outwards and I lose the clarity of knowing what weeks corespond to which data points, and I don't exactly get an overlay. So for example if I wanted to compare the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii for 2008 and 2007 over top of each other. Also I wonder if its possible to make it so I can choose a data set and embed the graphs directly into the forum for discussion?



Tease.

Oh, I just noticed this is the new thread to report problems.

The only big problem I have is the clutter in the front page. In the old page, things were placed better (for example the "most popular stories" were much more emphasized than now). There was also more blank space in between things if I recall correctly.

It really kills my head to look at this front page. I can only imagine it would be even worse for someone who visits the site for the first time and doesn't know what content to expect.

Ok, trying tables again as liquid managed to get a green outline somehow.

(Once again I can't type anything after my table, but this time I definately made an extra blank row and added the table in before it, but it seems to have ignored it)

[this is an edit meant to be after the table] Ok, upon posting, the actual table only has orange outlines, although the specific cells I coloured have changed (brown and blue) the row that I supposedly changed to yellow has not been affected.

Ok, So using the advanced section I can at least get a
Single background colour, but I regularly use different colours
for rows and columns as a way of organising things.

 Aha... I can get single cells, or rows
coloured, but not columns as there
is no "edit column properties" button

@TWRoO

I was trying to make the background green not the boarder. I failed.

Also, two of the VGC sig templates don't have proper names:

Oh, and I really like the idea of selling answers on the FAQ.
