Don't take this the wrong way but you need a proof reader to spell and grammar check.
It's better than it was but is off putting sometimes  |

I'm back! (did anyone even notice?)
Would it be worth adding the comments selection to the manga reviews as with the anime? I'd worry about it as it would open myself to all kinds of abuse, but maybe it would be worth it?
Oh and I second the proof reading as well... not that I can talk!  |

Adding comments to the manga reviews is an idea that wouldn't be too hard to implement.
Proof reading will always be an issue I swear I can read my own stuff 4-5 times before posting and it wont be until after posting I spot something.
I hate to open the flood gates *sweatdrop* but can you be more specific is it one reviewer over others or the whole site in general. _________________ ...

Heh, bet you'd thought I'd done a runner! I was on holiday in Norfolk for a week but now I'm back with a vengeance!
There's been a lot more manga stuff coming onto the site lately which is why I mentioned that idea, dunno what other people will think of it though...
I terms of the writing quality I noticed that some of the news itmes on the main page were a little off a while back. Around the time of the 'mange' incident. (I'm aware that a quite a few of my reviews have some dodgy phrasing and missing words etc. so I'll try and sort myself out as I go ) |

Heh that (the mange incident) was the start of me giving the manga reviews-for-posting pile to Rob - so he got to do the news that goes with the posting of the review...
/edit - that said I know I'm not perfect. _________________ ...

Just noticed a mistake I did on the Pon-Chan 2 review... dammit!
Edit: A lot of my reviews have odd random words in the middle of sentences (stuff like 'was' for no apparent reason). The spelling's generally fine, but I mess about so much while drafting that leftover words from old sentences are still in there!

Im pretty certain Ive read about a spell checker that will cheack anything, regardless of program type, it adds it to the right mouse button menu thingy, so you can hilight any word/paragraph and check it.
I'll look into this as I'm always having to correct typing errors on my own site:) _________________ Subtitles only!? If I wanted to read I would've bought a book!  |

To bump this thread again.
Anybody got any thought on us re-doing the fornt page to a possible new layout. Or would like to see the return of a links page. Or additions alterations to the resource section / release dates pages.
Thing is seen as me and gradian will be at the same place at the time time due to the london expo things tend to get done on the site more. _________________ ...

Hmm, been giving the main page a good eyeing up so might as well give an opinion:
I think the general layout of 2 smaller columns with a big one in between works well. But maybe the order could be rearranged a little?
The Release Day Updates and Latest Article links are dead more often than not, but they push down stuff I personally prefer like the random DVD Reviews further down the page. Maybe the randomly generated stuff could all be put together on the left or something?
I like the site, it's just that those two boxes on the top left seem like dead space to me. I'm not saying get rid of them, maybe link them the relevant links that are already on the opposite side of the page? In any case, it's your site so even if you leave it as it is I'm happy!  |

How about a dedicated bargains section? Either a thread or a forum in it's own right?
Not a new idea really but useful as I find using the Neo forum annoying at best. |

Sure that can be easily set up, I've wondered about a buy / sell / trade area / thread as well, as I have a high rotation rate on my collection. And sell stuff on quite often.
Edit - I've also thinking of merging the manga forums in with the anime ones as they are rarely used - if at all. _________________ ...
