Woohoo, I'm in it again

I'll try to get in in next time too.

 

[Sinkhead]

Good work as always Teej!

 

[Sephi]

Quite a bit of User Submitted news, good work

 

[JPH]

Lots of good news this week!

 

[The Teej]

Oh sweet. I'm totally in this. I didn't even knew we had this to be honest >_>

(I know. I'm not a very loyal temper. =()


Sweet nonetheless. =D

Well, it's fairly new, it's not been out that long

There's one every week though, so stay tuned!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This news posting could use better formatting to make it easier to read.

 

[JPH]

I agree.
It seems just kind of scrunched up...but I guess it's only when there's a bunch of news to add (it's E3 season, what do you expect!).

Hopefully the formatting will start looking better in the future...

 

[Costello]

how about something like this:



Putting all the news items in a scroll box, using a better formatting.
Could be a good idea to have more content without stretching the portal vertically.

Hmm, a scroll box might be a good idea. I have an alternative layout (different to the scroll box idea), but it goes against the idea of news being zero clicks away.
