Helpful things you might not know about the website and forum

* There is a wide skin for the forum so that it fills the page - see the dropdown bottom left.

* There's a review search - look on the homepage. It turns into an advanced search when you click it, so you can sort by score or region for example.

* You can click on reviewers' names in the reviews to see other reviews and features they have written.

* The 6 most recent reviews and features are listed when you click on a category, e.g. Nintendo (includes most recent reviews from GBA, DS and GC). So although only the latest feature is shown on the homepage, if you have been away for a couple of weeks, you can see if there's any features you missed by clicking on Features.

* The NTSC-uk banner normally relates to the latest review, or one that is about to be uploaded. Click the banner to go to the homepage to read the review.

You guys didn't know about the wide skin earlier?

I thought most people had been using it for years. Otherwise the forum layout is an eye sore. :P

I prefer normal - narrow bands of text is quicker to read than scanning across the page a lot (thus narrow columns in newspapers), but lots of people prefer Wide.

wide skin FTW

I don't like the wide one, even on my 12" iBook. I just find the narrow compressed text faster and more comfortable to read.

widescreen makes it more obvious im browsing in work

I prefer the non wide one to, it does seem easier to read.

Man... it seems to take forever to read something in wide mode... the normal one is far easier on the eyes I think.

I was sort of realising that about the NTSC-UK banners; I knew that there was something Gradius-related going on when I saw the maois
