Assorted Minor Items

I don't have any huge concerns, but when you have time to put a little polish on, here are the little things I've found:

Comrade John (actually me, but nevermind) posted in the Oasis forum and I see his image, post count, and title in the body text instead of in their (table? area? what's the term?). No one else's posts seem to have that issue though.

Does the "The Developer Says" section end where the next bold text appears? I was reading the Dreamfall page and couldn't decide if the developer had only said 2 sentences or whether (and how much of) the following material was still from the developer. It seems pretty important to differentiate Manifesto sell copy, from developer sell copy, from editorial content. (Could be that all title lines are using the strong tag and that you don't have another bold font yet to demark these things, but that would be nice at some point.)

When writing a review for a game, you must preview it before submitting, which is fine. However, the preview button disappears after the first preview (to be replaced by Submit). I found that I wanted to preview what I wrote again after some changes, but couldn't (without breaking the normal flow of the site).

The One Pager for Investors is a bit out of date. I'm no expert, and it could be that you want that to be static or that it's a particularly low priority. However, it would probably be easy to update things like the site launch date, if you're so inclined. :)

If you edit your profile and try to change your password and upload an image, it only changes the password. It just so happens that I tried to do that twice, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed.

Typos:

License and Site Access (under Terms and Conditions): "us of this site" (should be "use of this site").

Tease for Welcome to The Word: "fine in a game zine" (should be "find in a game zine", and is correct in the body).

Dreamfall (under No Demo: Our Apologies): "you can but it here," (should be "you can buy it here,").

Sorry to be nit picky, just hoping to help a little. Thanks for all the hard work! :D

John Mc:

Thanks... I'll look at correcting these.

As for the investor 1-pager--yes, it's -way- out of date. We put that on back burner in order to get the site up, and it's something I have to revisit, well, instantly.

As for "developer" text--basically anything from their to "reviews" is from the developer. But yes, using bold both for that and subheads within their text is potentially confusion.

Welcome Greg, I'll post if I bump into anything else. Probably not for a few days, though. I'm busy playing your games. :)

The 1-pager is updated, and the typoes have been corrected.
