Already checked and answered.

I've been the busiest I've ever been in my life, pretty much building up slowly since I left the staff two years ago. Should I just assume that when everything was erased that anything I wrote went with it?

**Melf** · 07-09-2011, 04:34 PM

No, it's all safe. I'm doing reviews in ABC order, so everything you wrote will eventually be back online, as will all our articles.

Big improvement over the old site, many congratulations! Sega-16 has finally entered the Web 2.0 era.

I would like to be able to view the reviews as it was on the old site. Indexed by letter, it will be a disaster clicking through the "Older Entries" button.

**vintagegamecrazy** · 07-09-2011, 08:14 PM

Yeah, the old review layout has to come back even if it's in the new style. Melf it would be fine if you could make the color set for the reviews gray like the front page as that looks pretty nice. The box art needs to be brought back to the top like it was as I think that's what made the reviews as visually enjoyable to peruse as they were, screens at the side would be amazing too. Take your time, I know re-entering them will be a chore. I'll look forward to all of the changes when they are all implemented though!

Melf,

Just PMed you about some custom code! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

This is one definite drawback right now

Wow, Ken. That's all there is to say - you've kept on putting the hours into the site and it looks fantastic! The new design is excellent, and seems more like a labor of love then ever. Congrats on soldiering through some tough times.

**InternalPrimate** · 07-10-2011, 02:48 PM

Melf,

I just figured out how to solve the sorting reviews issue. PM me if you want the details, but it's just a matter of using the AZIndex Plugin. There's a little adjusting you'll have to do to the settings and you'll have to modify categories (Genesis Review, CD Review, 32X Review), but it'll solve the problem completely and give the site the functionality people want.

**oldmanwinters** · 07-10-2011, 03:12 PM

I gotta say, the new site design is sexy! It doesn't quite seem as easy to navigate (As a retro-game enthusiast, I love simplicity!), but it certainly looks great and gives the impression that this is a busy site with tons of content (which is true!).

**Jibbajaba** · 07-10-2011, 04:14 PM

I just wanted to stop in and say that the new site looks GREAT. Glad to see that everything is coming back.

Chris

Done! Thanks to InternalPrimate for the help with this.

**SegaMan89** · 07-10-2011, 05:39 PM

The new site looks amazing!

Great job to everyone who worked on the new site

Question though. How do I log in on the main site? I click on the log in button and it says invalid username

**djshok** · 07-10-2011, 09:39 PM

Wow, new site looks cool. Only thing I've noticed is I can't seem to update my profile pic in the word press control panel. Whenever I try to upload one in there it just doesn't do it. I tried in both Firefox and IE and it's a no go with both.
