First off GREAT job bungie team! This has got 2 be one of the best websites ive ever seen. again, GREAT job!

I did notice that the render of transparent mc (its on pg 3 of the renders section) has an awry caption. last time i checked, the battle rifle scope had a more...cylindrical shape to it. other than that and a few typos ill leave to other scavengers to find, it looks fantastic.

Round of applause guys. [Clapping noise]

none taken, but i happened to be looking to see if they had added any new renders.

and, (no offence) but you would have to be blind and stupid not to read the captions and realize that that that render was NOT a battle rifle

awesome website bungie...my only gripe is that on some pages, when i try to scroll down, the thing at the bottom with the games, stats, community, etc. wont scroll down with the page and obscures some of the text on the screen...otherwise, this site is kick ass! keep up the great work!

First of all, the site looks great. I'm really enjoying the new layout and have set bungie.net as my new hompage. I'm really anticipating how it will integrate with the team setup, live 3.0, halo 2, and 7th col. But, that's for another day.

Suggestions for improvement - copy and pasted from a post I made in the underground:

more avatars

the nav bar at the bottom sometimes sticks into place and won't move

there needs to be a link to return to the main board at the bottom of every posting.

when you post, the site should automatically route you to the last post instead of the first - saves time

there should be options to show more topics on the first page and more posts per page so those of us with broadband don't have to do as much waiting and can get to more content, quicker

is there a way to have yoru gamertag display below your username?
ie

jndu
member
Live GT: Joey

what's the big circle at the top left corner for? It sort of gets in the way. That's about it. Everything is really very slick. Awesome site update, I'm really impressed.

jndu,

first of all, your sig rocks. You are the first person ive ever known (or in this case - read) that has read Ender's Game. It actually reminds me of Halo, the book. Great read, both of them.

OK - now that ive stopped marketing for books, down to what i really started this post for - to answer some of your questions.



~The circle at the upper left hand corner - its job is to look pretty. But i agree, no matter how awesome it looks, it does get annoying and gets in the way. As a suggestion to the Bungie team, pin it to the upper banner.
~About the gamertag, I think that was (or is now that we have the NEW b.net) an option when setting up your account as a b.net member. Try clicking on "My Settings" or "My Profile" at the top. When you are logged in, it is displayed under "Welcome jndu".
~You mentioned how the toolbar at the bottom (games, stats, community, etc.) sometimes sticks. I have high speed DSL and it never sticks. When I went to a friends house, he had dial-up and it stuck like nerd's hand to an Xbox controller (I guess in that case I would be classified as a Grade A nerd). I don't know what your connection speed is (though you may have broadband based on your allusion in your post - if you do, im typing pointless words and am wasting characters), but that would be my best guess as to the cause of your "sticking" problem.
~I can't answer or help you on any other of your comments, because I don't work for Bungie, only unnoficially. If I did, I could make those changes right now and wouldn't be typing this.
