    I started a project last night.
    I want to make a site that will have a new flash game every day.
    This is what I've got so far:
    gotdprtal.com
    It will be another service of dahoster

    If you guys have any suggestions let me know!

    Thanks!

    Right now it looks too basic and a lot of work should be done, you know it.
    So it's somewhat difficult to comment your site or give any suggestions. Because at the moment it's hard to predict what exactly you are planning to create.
    But I want to inform you about one small GUI issue: Register, Login and RSS links at the top right corner are slightly displaced (in FF and IE)

    It's definitely a great job! within one day or even less!!!

    Thanks for the first review.
    I've been working on it very diligently.
    I'm trying to make a game/audio/video portal.
    The Audio and Video, will be run by the users, (they can submit there own work). And the Games will too, but a new game will be posted every day.
    I think I fixed the user bar problem for the FF users, but IE, it just doesn't like me.
    I don't want to move it over too far (it'll look bad in FF).
    So, if anyone knows of a way to make a sertain code IE specific, please let me know!

    Thanks!

    It’s nice you have a tag cloud so it will be easier for everyone to understand what your site is about.
    I suppose showing previews of the games and videos which have been downloaded to your site will also make your site’s homepage more impressive. It’ll motivate people to download the stuff from your site. Link “Download” isn’t so motivating as game’s preview, etc.

    Thank you.
    I'll keep the game preview in mind.
    I'm thinking of taking a screen shot of every game, and using that, but I don't know yet.
    Thanks for the Review.

    Pezboy45 using a screen shot of every game is really what you need. So everyone will see what he/she'll get having downloaded a certain game from your site. Good luck.

    They arn't actually downloading any games.
    They are all flash games that are played online.
    But I'm workin on screen shots.

    Well, saying that IE sucks.
    And there is no way to get the fullness, and goodness of GotD with it.
    I had to block it.

    Pezboy45 sorry for misunderstanding. But you are right screen shots are useful even if the players will play online.

    All I see is a "Browser Warning" telling me that the site works best with Firefox. Nothing to review.

    I'm using IE so I can't see your site, though I really wish to. Why don't you make it available for different browsers?

    But, I'm workin on it.

    BUMP

    Just wanted to say that I've made many upgrades, and updates to the site.
    It works almost 100% perfectly (maybe like 85).
    But, anyways works great for IE, and I haven't found any errors.

    But, I'm looking for beta testers, if anyone wants to, please register here:

    Here is my feedback:

    1) The pages should be linkable this is the link I get for the video of the week, the page breaks out of your main website design.

    2) Links in content/text areas should always be underlined example: Gotw play it now needs to be underlined

    3) On the Video of the Week page I would make the screenshot clickable

    4) Having two Home links that link to different places doesn't make any sense.

    5) You might want to test your website in firefox 3.
    You get horizontal and vertical scroll bars and the second navigation bar is on two lines

    6) The portal http://gotdportal.com/portal looks good I would make that your homepage, but that's just my opinion.

    Ok, I think your not loading the page correctly.
    Because, everything is quite different for me, and a bunch of people I know.
    First, the box at the bottom, when you click on the links, it slides not loads a new page.
    And I use FF 3.0.1

    The problem is that if you want a link to gotw page you have to right click -> open in new tab or window and you get http://gotdportal.com/core/wp-content/themes/wiilike-05/coda-slider/index.php#2 that's a problem, because that is the only link to this page and it has no main navigation.

    I use a FF 3.0.1 on Mac and this is how it looks.
    I tested it with Safari too and it looks good.
    Also did a test with windows ie6, ie7, ff 3 all good.

    But the fact that you get broken page links is everywhere the same.

    So, I should probably code the slider in the "home.php" page, instead of using an Iframe...that I can do!

    Thanks.
