    Ok, the site is currently being worked on so might be seeing some strange things from time to time. We are now setting the full launch of the main site to Monday to all the content and graphics enough time to be done right. The new page will also be organized and changed from the current format.

    The blog will be combined with the older site to form a much more interactive Gameogre that should do much better on mobile devices:).

    That said, you can post here on what features you want to see on the front page or to report something that has changed or broke in the meantime:).

    Ok, still working on the front page. Unlike the previous/old site structure, we could place anything anywhere we wanted just by using HTML. Some of that is still possible, but more revolve around posts now. Thus, items like Events, Online Game of the Week, Review of the Week, Giveaways etc will now be blogged every time:).

    That said, look for the move in the next few days as we try to get everything worked out first. Will probably start about 10PM or Midnight in one of the next few nights:).

    Thanks, Branko:). That is exactly what I was asking for earlier. Yes, that is something we will want to improve on:).

    Beta MMORPGS List is 404, Top 10 online games list is the old site, all of the images on the mainsite homepage for articles are world of tanks, cheats is not a genre, the arcade2 category is empty, the three dropdown toplinks are to empty pages, the blog remains the only area of the site where "Home" links back to itself and not to the main site, the main site doesn't link to the blog.

    1. Fixed.
    2. Should be. That is our most dynamic list.
    3. Needs to be fixed, but may put a logo as a default instead of World of Tanks until it is:).
    4. Moved it to Lairs.
    5. Will tell the developer.
    6. The top links are only sections, not actual pages.
    7. The blog will go eventually and just be the main site.

    6. In that case I would recommend either having it redirect to one of the sub-pages, make them not actually link to something, or add content to those pages. Otherwise you have three completely blank pages that are incredibly easy to access.

    The recent posts thing on the front page jumps really fast from one thing to the next, which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if it had more than five items in it, but as it is it runs really fast to shift the last two into view, then flip right back to the beginning.

    There have been a bunch of reported forum anomalies that don't really have a home, but I assume that most of them boil down to tinkering on the site causing errors on the forum.

    ^ indeed, the forum seems unhappy... lots of little problems cropping up. Something with refreshing.
