I'm new to the "upgraded" section of the forum today, so I thought I'd see what you guys thought of Big Dog Arcade

Looks good.

Although I suggest either putting something in that gray box under the title or just take it out. Right now it looks as if something is supposed to go there.

And the green circle in the header just seems a bit pointless. It stands out a lot but does not do anything. Either make it do something cool or change it to a duller color or just take it out.

The rest of the header looks very nice. And the sire has nice colors.

Yeah, I meant to do something with the infamous "green button" but I ran out of steam Smiley  I ended up slicing the header in thirds, and one slice is right down the middle of the green button.  I did that so I could more easily plot image map coords for the center image's buttons, and have an animated gif for the right side.

I'll probably get rid of the green button soon, and I'll try to think of some "banner" I can put in that other area you mentioned.

Thanks for the review.

My mistake.

I didn't actually slice the infamous "green button" down the middle.  Maybe I'll make it do something Roll Eyes

I got rid of the green button and I placed something in that gray box.  When you click it (the yellow button in the top left gray box), a "report broken game" form pops up in a new window.  After completing and submitting the form, the info goes into my webmail, and a "thankyou" form pops up in it's place.

Thanks for the suggestions

Nice Design, NIce Logo.

I do recommend removing the "Click here if game s broken" it looks more like a search!!.
Put it in displaygame.php instead, then it will appear under the game for example.

Very nice clean looking design. I like it. Didn't see the infamous green button, so I guess you got rid of it.

I agree with this also. Plus having the report a game right there on every page, makes it feel like there is a good chance that games will be broken so your making it easier for people to submit the broken ones.

Try something else there instead.

OK, here's the deal.

When I played some of the games on my arcade sight, I saw this little orange and white circle (image) and had absolutely no idea what the heck it was.

I looked at "displaypage.php" and figured out that this was "reportgame.jpg", and it was a link to the popUp window for reporting a broken game.

I changed the image to a text link that says "report broken game", and assigned the text link a different CSS class so it would be at least noticeable

I got rid of the "click here to report broken game" button on my header, which pulled up my own form mail file in a new window.  I'll probably modify that file and use it for my "contact Big Dog Arcade" link, instead of using a mailto: link.

Then, as I wrestled with the idea of putting an "iBlob Spam button" there, I came up with a different idea . . .

BACKGROUND MUSIC with an equalizer display and a "music on/off" button.

Maybe not as cool as the iBlob Spam button, but it does fill the void

Now you got me worried that you were seriously thinking about that hahaha.

The background music is nice. Im just not sure how many people would want to listen to that dramatic of music, a softer one might be used more. But Im not sure, I know that I would rather hear a softer song then a dramatic one.
