Scheduled site maintenance tonight; pay no attention the man behind the curtain photo

As we get ready for next week's festivities we'll be messing with your cheese for a few hours into the evening. A few of you may already be experiencing some template weirdness earlier this week -- we hope to resolve all of that sooner and also roll out some of your suggestions for site usability improvements including "pinned" big news stories of the day and a faster way to browse our daily updates without having to chain yourself to the refresh button every 20 minutes. Plus, there's that new contest thing. More on that Monday!

As always, we're all ears -- let us know how we can make Dtoid better and it gets put into the queue. Until then, have a great Friday night. If you have no plans, are broke, and don't have any clean bodily fluids to sell for Dead Space you should make it Mother 3 night! I hear it's kind of like dating a girl made of cheesecake. Feel free to interpret that any way you'd like.

Overall template similarityness.

Random Dtoid sayings back on the front page. I don't like looking for my random refresh quote.

Comment tracker that is more organized and separated from my blog posts comments and other peoples blog post comments and front page comments.

I ate my girlfriend once. The trick is to boil her when she's sleeping...


Wait are we talking eating or eating out? I always get those two confused.

Which is why it is difficult to mow my backyard.

Sweet.

I'm guessing you probably have already noticed this, but, I'll mention it anyway (just in case)...when you click the "next 20 blogs" in the cblogs sidebar it goes to the actual cblogs section in the sidebar. The rest of the site stays the same, but the sidebar displays the cblogs page in that tiny space instead of loading the whole new page.

My comments tracker has never worked, it's only shown my blogs pretty much. Intentional maybe? Either way I really would like to track my comments besides my last 5 comments that's on my profile page

Ive always had the same problem as well. Sometimes it shows a lot of them and then sometimes only my own blog comments.

Some form of Karma system for blogs would be nice.

It may give community members a bit more incentive to not fail.

Why can't people edit there own posts/replies/responses within a certain time limit to fix any errors?

Also can we have a wider version of destructoid. I'm on an HDTV 1920x1080 and the layout is crap for it as it is just a spindly coloumn down the centre of my TV.... I want a wide version for widescreen peeps like Gamespot tested out and then switched to. I could fit 3 coloumns on my TV easily... but 2 would be sufficent and means I can read more and scroll less.

Just seems weird everything stuck in a very narrow middle coulmn.

Better cross-browser compatibility would be nice. This is the only site that I have issues with in IE7. It renders pretty poorly at times, and the browser often stops responding entirely. Also, viewing a full article often results in the next page not even rendering fully. I really hope that the site is less bloated as a result of this maintenance.

@ Kevinski - I am on Firefox and I have same problem as you.

Ddestructoid is the worst site (and only site I can think of at this time) which roughly about 25% of the time does not load up pages correctly and I have to refresh sometimes several times.


I just think they must be on slow servers though when busy.
