"In the image viewer, various information about the image is contained in a box to the right. Tucked away within these boxes is the image caption. I believe that the caption should feature more prominently, perhaps below the actual image? It's too easy to overlook in its current spot."

As someone who looks at and uploads images a lot, I didn't even notice that. I assumed you just couldn't view the caption from that page. So yes, the caption needs to be a hell of a lot more prominent.

Add a special category for game compilations!
Its just like a gamepage, but with a list of the included games.

When flagging a topic or post, a description box to go with it would be cool. Just to give the moderators the heads-up on what they need to look at.

So instead of dumping a list of games into article (and getting a ton of points for doing barely anything), we could have a separate part of the page listing the games in the compilation? Sort of like this? Or are you suggesting something else entirely?

Exactly, the same kind of list there are in the concept pages. And then the info could appear on the other end to, the Altered Beast page could say that the game is included in the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on a special page of the altered beast page.

This is a small suggestion, but I hope it's one that can be easily implemented. For polls, I'd like to see a *view results* option instead of having to vote first. You know, for curiosity's sake?

I suggest that, when watching a video in full-screen on GiantBomb's video section, that when the UI elements disappear automatically the mouse disappears too. I know Hulu does it, as well as a couple other sites, but I hate having to always bury my mouse into the right side of the screen so I can't see it.

Bring back the related game links, covers and descriptions on the videopages.

I was thinking that it would be a good idea for GB to add a 'classics' tab to the video section so we all have quick access to videos like the madden '09 football blowout extravaganza video, age of booty preview, the choco taco rap vid, and many others. Anyone else feelin' this idea?

Now that TVersity supports video websites like Hulu, NBC, Comedy Central, Juiced (or whatever it's called), etc... you should get together with them to get your videos streamed over TVersity. I love watching the endurance run, but I do not love crowding over my girlfriend's laptop with her to watch it. I'd love to watch it on my TV.

(Tried watching it in the Wii browser, but the Wii browser does not play well with this site in general).

Okay then...I say that we should have a Roll Call, like the bombsquad back.

It would be nice if the "sister sites" of Giant Bomb had links to them on the main GB page.

I have another silly idea... ^_^; I would like to see an "Add To Database" page. In this page, there will be links that allow you to create all the kinds of pages you can make at GB. Sort of like the "Hey I noticed you're missing..." section of the FAQ, but much friendlier, probably with big nice icons, for each type of page, that you can click (like the Add Image buttons, for example).

To avoid (even if just a little bit) people just going to that page and adding things without checking if they exist of not, maybe there should be a built-in search. As you type the name of what you are trying to add (kind of like the "similar topics" section when creating a forum topic) it should show you a list of similar items, with each one's blurb shown.

All that stuff that's blocking the banner on my profile (except for the avatar and user name), move it out of the way because I don't like that most of the image is being block.

I'm sure this was probably suggested/stricken down before, but could we have smilies? Maybe a Bomb Smiley?...

For awhile Giant Bomb did have a link to Comic Vine on the main page, and Comic Vine had a link to Giant Bomb. But with Giant Bomb's front page redesign and Comic Vine's site redesign, both links have been removed.

It has indeed been suggested and stricken down before. It seems the consensus is that emoticons would be seen as annoying.

Can't you just install a spellchecker add-on into your browser?

Couldn't the friends list be in some sort of logical order? Because it doesnt seem to be as is. It should really be in alphabetical order

Option to compare lists with other users (favorites,owned games,top 10,wishlist...). And page to view charts about your games, divided to different kind of categories; companies , genres and platforms etc... Like "Games you own by platform: Wii: 33%, Xbox360: 33%, PC: 33%".
Then option to display those stats graphically "pie-charts, custom pictures..."

The YUI-based editor might cause some problems with that. They are working on a new editor though, so that should take care of that problem.

It'd be nice if the "edit blurb" thing was still there, so I don't have to click edit article and then close the editing window every time I want to edit the blurb.

When in doubt, www.dictionary.com is your friend. That or MS Word, if you have it.

Anyway, I find it irksome that when wiki'ing, you cannot add images and edit the wiki overview in the same edit. Switching to the images prompts the wiki'er with a message that states that the editing session will be exited out and all unsaved progress will be lost if he/she proceeds to the image page. I'd like to see this fixed, so going back & forthe between the two pages can be done without losing any progress.

:D
