Hi guys. First let me start by saying I love your site for both its reviews and forums. There is one thing I would like to see though. I know it is your custom, when doing reviews, to compare a vid. card to its previous generation not to products from other IHV’s. Would you consider a web page whereby people could enter a model of GPU and then access any testing results that you compiled for that GPU.. This would allow us to make our own comparisons and buying decisions.

Another suggestion. After posting in a forum, would it be possible to return to the point you left off at. Sometimes if you take a long time to post other people make posts and it is easy to inadvertently skip them.

But you can do this, e.g., with Netscape: Right click on "Quote" and hit "open in new window". (If on (Li|U)nix then use the middle mouse button)

The following is what Marco has planned/is implementing in his new engine for our site :

- When you write a review you can add your benchmarks by putting them into a seperate screen. The benchmarks will be stored as integers into the database. What will happen in the end is that our readers can compare, build their own benchmark charts. For example; Dave has written a review of the ATI9800 and Nvidia5900 on his system. When both are publised, a reader will be able to tell the site I want toe Quake3 benchmarks from both reviews and put them in one image, so that I can compare which one is faster.

Is this something like what you mean?

Marco says that this is 40% done a few days ago. Extremely kewl, huh?

Perfect. :D

Simon, I know about the right click. It is in IE as well. I usally have too many windows open, so, to default this when not opened in a new window would be good. Well, for me anyway. :)

Sounds really great!
One thing is bugging me though:
How do you intend to address the problem with different test setups?

Edit: sp.

I think you meant "bugging"... unless you are currently finding it uncomfortable to sit down...

Any chance of getting URLs auto-underlined? I miss so many. :?

I'm with MuFu. At least make the buggers more contrasty.

As long as we're suggesting, I'd like a link for each post somewhere within the post. Makes it easier to refer people to a specific reply, rather than manually calculating and editing the thread start link myself (&t=XXXX&start=YY). Cheers!
