One thing I've been noticing is that people frequently miss any Notes a reviewer puts on how to run the game properly. These Notes are always put on the bottom, after the review. The Download button is on the top. Most people go straight for the Download button and skip the rest.
So I think you should either:
1. Put the Notes on the top, before the review.
2. Put the Download button on the bottom.

Maybe people should read the things that are handed to them on a plate. That's a bit optimistic, though - putting the button at the bottom might work, or the technical notes could possibly appear on the next page so they might get read while the thing's downloading.

This is one of those little things which could bring to the perfection!

The Tech notes could be placed in a box or something, so they'll stick out a bit more... Like say something like this:

Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, reviewBlh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review
Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, reviewBlh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, reviewBlh, blah,blah, review Blh, blah,blah, review

They should, but they don't. I'm just sick of things like people still trying to run Stunts with STUNTS.COM instead of STUNT.COM or not turning off the animations on Constructor and so on...

I like Reup's idea, though the box would still have to be on the top, or the download button on the bottom. Most people don't scroll unless they have to. They just read "Get It", and, well, get it. A lot of time on the internet makes you quite aware of how stupid people can be :P

Jordan 09-12-2005 03:41 PM

I'm not saying its a bad idea, its actually pretty good idea, but still..

BeefontheBone 09-12-2005 09:28 PM

Normally I'd be against pandering to idiocy, but if it's also lazy and effort-saving for the rest of us I'm all for it!
