Suggest some improvements!

the most awesome suggestion ever

there was a whole thread about this about a month ago:

Morrus, for the reviews section, in addition to the 1-5 ranking could you please add something that says "This product is rated higher than n% of other products reviewed on ENworld". Also perhaps a comparitive rating of the books that cover similar territory:

Example: 'Of sound mind' has an average ranking of X. This is better than n% of all suppliments ranked on ENworld, is better than n% of 1st level adventures and n% of psionic suppliments.

Book of Righteous might is ranked better than 100% of all suppliments, and better than 100% of all religion suppliments.

I would like to suggest a link to reviews on the news page that is not buried in the menu. A nice button near the top would be peachy.

My suggestions

• (I made this suggestion a long time ago) Improve the search options in the d20 reviews guide. Establish 'product categories' such as Fantasy setting, Fighter splatbook, high/mid/low level adventure, etc. Allow for category overlap.
  
• (also RE reviews site)Also allow people to search for PDF products
  
• (also RE reviews site)Provide a 'Back to Main Enworld" link at the d20 reviews site. (I can't find one)

Will think of some more later. I've had various ideas but don't remember them now. I have wanted to see the D&D links section expanded, but as I see that is being done.

I would add that the messageboard link could be more prominantly displayed.

Another way to make the more popular links more prominite would be to enlarge and/or boldface them.

1) This, or something similiar is in the pipe-line
2) Why can no-one ever see the link, top of the main menu that says "Back to ENWorld"?

Ahh, sorry. I'm not sure why I didn't know about that. I think I tried it a while ago and it didn't work or something, and since then I've assumed there wasn't such a link.

However, it would be nice if the big "Enworld" logo at the top of the reviews page was a link to the main news site (which would be more consistant with the rest of ENworld).

Links to Errata?

Not a new idea, but one that seems to have stalled: I often never hear about errata for a product or a relevant web enhancement. It would be useful to have links to these things from the appropriate ENWorld Reviews Product description page.

I think this is supposed to be happening, thus the header that reads "Previews, errata, enhancements and other links". They don't seem to get posted here very often though.

Here's a sample page if I'm not explaining myself well, and you're not sure what I'm talking about:

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=SatS


From reading another thread here it looks like the trend for the future is to have the publisher ( when possible ) add product info to the upcoming product lists - Perhaps they can add their own links for samples, errata and enhancements too?

 

[Blacksway]

Yes indeed, that is the trend, to get as many people as possible updating the products of their own accord.

Lots more work is being done in this very area as we speak

Even though I dun work with the d20reviews any more I make sure BlackSway treats my baby right , and my suggestions you do know about already.

Well, we've has some cool improvents today, but wouldn't it be better if Gamers seeking gamers and marketplace were in the non rpg specific group?

and how about putting house rules into bits n pieces then renaming that group DM toolkit?
