You might consider a free wordpress page as the blog format might work better? You get a fair amount of control even with the free version. 

At the very least, the latest review needs to be boldly linked, preferably with a screen shot, on the main page. 

I added a small extra bit of information on the front page that mentions the reviews being on the review page and that the button that takes you there is at the top of the site. That is as far as I will go to make sure people will get there.

I still don't get this complaint in the first place, mind you. Pressing a single button that can easily be seen at the top of the page takes no effort whatsoever. 

You make a fair point about always mentioning the latest review on the front page. I will take that into consideration. 

Ok, I fallowed your advice. The front page now has and always will have a link to the latest review. 

They are not complaints, they are helpful suggestions (mostly). ;)

In this forum, no matter what you do, you will be criticised. Usually in a constructive way that can help you "improve" in any way.


I like the review style, it seems solid and honest! 

For those too lazy to traverse the site:

Having the Latest Review link there on the front page is helpful. 

You aren't getting these from QuakeTerminus are you? (in my world of delusion people still visit my site) I was a big fan of Neil Manke when I popped those on the site 12 years ago. They are very early maps for him, and probably have not stood the test of time. On a sad note Neil Manke has pretty much dropped off the Internet. Some say he has died, but I couldn't find his obituary, so lets hope not.

Good luck with your review site by the way 

Grab stuff off the terminus now and again, it remains a useful resource.

Chrome's fault that time. 

But... Orange text on a grey background isn't very easy on the eyes. I'm on the mobile version, I guess.

I like how you've written and structured things. Keep up the good work. 

sadly I can't help you when it comes to the mobile version and the orange text and the grey background on the reviews. I have tried changing that but I can't without also changing the way things look on the original site. Your just going to have to live with it or else read the reviews on a PC. 

And here I thought anyone tech-savy would switch their phone browser to identify as a desktop browser.

I rarely run into websites that are awkward to read, I can highly recommend it. 

Of course it is trivial to request the desktop version, but if you aren't going to officially support it, then don't even have it at all. 

Your snide comments to yourself Spirit.

With what you suggest I'd have to change my browser settings back and forth, because other sites do have a working mobile version, easier to read on a mobile device, not more difficult. 

Sorry, I did not meant it as snide at all. Honestly! I got mad when sites pushed some annoying dumbed down versions of websites in my face. 

 

 

No website on earth should have orange bulk text. Reserve that colour for headings at the most.

To be honest if you've got no web experience, I'd highly recommend starting with a wordpress style blog rather than fumbling around with webs and wix and the other free website builders. Those other 2 sites someone posted http://taw.duke4.net/ and http://spmapcorner.blogspot.co.nz/ both of which use blogs, are far easier to navigate that this new site. I had to click to get to reviews, then all I got was 2 giant pictures which I had to click into again. Getting too time consuming.

Deqer might have been a bit arrogant, but he was actually right with his suggestions. 

I have updated the FAQ. From now on the general goal is to review 1 map each weekend. The "1 review a month as a complete minimum" rule still applies, but expect to see 1 review at least during most weekends. There is a new one coming probably some time today/tonight by the way. Or in a worst case scenario, tomorrow. But probably tonight. 

Reviewing some of Tronyns maps, since he can*t do it on Quakedicted.?
That would be nice! 

yeah, review those monstrous beasts! 

Where are they found?
