Website Overhaul

[Alec]

Just wondering what the main highlights of this will be apart from online reviews (which is great in and of itself)?

We've got to keep some surprises up our sleeves, but you'll be very pleased (we hope) with the new site - due in April.

Some selected highlights include a dedicated 'How to' section, a constantly updated Best Buys area, plenty of 'behind the scenes' stuff on how we test, and lashings of News and opinions.

Not to forget a fresh-look for Forums, too!

I don't bother so much about how good the forum look as long as we can format our posts 🙂

I was about to say a similar thing. The forum is getting more and more popular every week, and new subjects dissapear from the first page after a day or so, I think it would be good if you could divide these sections, e.g in Hi Fi, you could seperate amp from CD player in seperate pages, certain products that generate the most posts such as the 8th generation Pioneer plasma's could have a section of there own,, for a while at least. Also TV settings, a total minefield for most, you could have a page to compare settings,, just some thoughts, that you may have thought of already,

cheers, take care!

Brand Director, Thai, Brand Director...

And it seems quite a lot of people already can format their posts, but don't worry - it has been mentioned to the people building the new site.

One very angry Brand Director, who's only just got her luggage back - complete with one of the two bags utterly trashed/drenched. The good news is the press discs and releases are now drying on my radiator. Not so optimistc about many other contents.... I apologise in advance to anyone who works in Baggage Handling for Virgin Airlines for the ear-blistering they are about to receive!

How did they manage to drench a bag in a luggage hold?- Just tell Virgin how much bad publicity they are going to have through your telling the story of your luggage's exploits on the site, then see how high they jump. 🙂
