The point is not to show where you've been, but where you haven't.

Noticed something with the poll. It says there are 27 posts total, yet there are only 26 that I added up. Maybe I am just stupid and missed one (I looked over it a few times), but I think it is off by one... |

| You're right. That's 26. It looks like someone voted in a hidden option... |

Well, that's odd. I guess I screwed up somewhere.

Well it's just one screw-up after another today:
Konqueror sucks as a browser. I just thought what it did to the layout was funny. |

| That's pretty screwed up, lol. There is always Mozilla or Firefox :-) By the way, is that linux or windows? I've tested VBgamer with IE6, Firefox 0.9 and 1.0PR, and also Opera 7.51. Another possibility is that your font might be screwing up the layout. Its really really really big. |

| Linux. The layout looks fine in any other browser, while using a small font size. But the font size shouldn't make the words come out of the table box unless it's a fixed height or something. Big fonts are easier on the eyes. |

| Noticed something else on the poll... It looks like it adds up correct now, but the VB 2005 bar is messed up. The number says 0, but the bar looks like it is around 10 o_O. Might want to check that out too... |

Unfortunately that's a limitation with how I created the poll. It's a table with two TD cells, and each cell must have something in it or it would be transparent, so I have a non breaking space in the empty cells.
I just changed it to use an image instead, so it should work now.
Oh, and post a tutorial or article or something, if you want to write a game or book review let me know! |

It would be really cool if the 'game spotlight' included a screenshot (using the app you wrote that creates a thumbnail from submitted pictures in news posts, just have it download the screenshot from the specified URL - if one exists - and create a thumbnail)
It would be much easier to decide if I actually wanted to download a game or not if I could at least see what it looked like. Just an idea (something else to add to your LONG list of TO-DO's =P |

The "Game Spotlight" just randomly picks a game from the Big Huge Games List, and screenshots for those games aren't uploaded and for some of the game a URL to a page of screenshots is provided instead. I suppose I could provide a link to the screenshots. One thing you need to realize is that these games are hobby games, so they won't have the same amazing screenshots as games that you find in a store. My point is that just because a game doesn't have an amazing screenshot doesn't make it any less fun to play.
If the screenshot doesn't look like Doom3, well that shouldn't be a reason to avoid playing the game, play it anyway.
I'd like to promote the games instead of giving people a reason to avoid them

you have over extended yourself Eric, the only problem i can spot is the arrows in the news posts dont fit in with the theme (i.e. the goto top arrow).
maybe a light blue arrow with a yellow border? |

Good idea. I'll see what I can come up with later today. |
