THE GREAT TWEAKNEWS ERROR HUNT IS ON!

[TN] Nathan · ALMIGHTY PWNER! Joined: 14 Feb 2002 Posts: 7406

The game is simple. Although I try my best, some things will fall through the cracks and I will not notice them until someone points them out to me.

To make this website as professional as possible, I am posing a small error hunt to find pages or problems on Tweaknews that I can fix to make this site even better than before.

I will be awarding the biggest helpers with some small gifts such as professional mousepads, fan controllers and miscellaneous items to say thank you for you help finding the problems and bringin them up to me.

The kind of things I am looking for is:

- Bad page links
- Reviews with photos that are pushing the page wider than the header
- Broken picture links
- Anything you can find.

Let's all pitch in to make this ship as tidy as possible.

The only thing I can think of is finding a good image host for sigs. I know mine randomly goes down alot.

And the menu header is still narrower than the forum page.

Not a big thing. But in the Zalman ZM460 Review, in the blurb on the opening page it says ZN460 instead of ZM460...nothing big just a minor spelling mistake..

Okay I'll play

In the forum topics all major words are capitals, except for memory in "Motherboards and memory" it should be "Motherboards and Memory" to be consistant.

I have, many times, still no dice..... Maybe a problem with my connection... Confused

Maybe you could put this in the forums and keep the existing one in the rest of the site?

Should only be a few lines of code to do it.....

I've got one. The affiliates page, is way outdated Oct. 24th 2003. Some of the links are dead / redirect to other pages.

Well two things at first glance...not mentioned already....

The shopping button is always orange, while the others are black...on purpose?

and Two, in the affiliates links, to get specific.... BigBruin & Bjorn3D get higlighted as the same link...but only take you to Bjorn

and is that "Link to us" icon at the bottom supposed to be a button...or just the graphic?

on this page, in the tweaknews banner, where the ad should be, it doesnt show up. and same goes with every subsection. (tested with firefox and ie)

"multimedia"
http://tweaknews.pricegrabber.com/home_catpage.php?catzero=14

"input devices"
http://tweaknews.pricegrabber.com/home_catpage.php?catzero=11

"networking"

"scanners"
http://tweaknews.pricegrabber.com/home_catpage.php?catzero=16

"software"

yet another booboo

when you go to the main review section of the site, and you choose between
COMPUTER CASE REVIEWS,
COMPUTER POWER SUPPLY, ASSESSORY & CASE MODDING REVIEWS,

the button at the bottom that takes you the the forums is a broken link.

sorry for the triplet posts, cant delete/repost

Well, this isn't very important but in the team section....well...there's been a couple of birthdays....except maybe for Joe, he's getting younger, or at least better.

By the way, nice to see Zhenya's picture in there.
