I have sent you a message through your contact form. I found one BIG fault.
Also you should find a way to put your error message in a variable when you don't have enough points to attack someone. I'm pretty sure there is a way to exploit that. Or maybe that was just a no no for personal information.
Either way, I like the concept. Just gotta work a little more on it.

No uncle ed, I mean the error message shows up in the address bar. There is a way to make it a variable. Otherwise i'm able to edit the error message.
http://www4.99k.org/healoptions.php?art=Tr...3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EAlso someone went through and completely destroyed everything I had. Now I am stuck, because I didn't realize they had destroyed everything and I healed my bookss interests and about me section and now am out of points. So I can't heal my add friends thing and add comments thing or sending messages thing. So now I'm out of points and have no way to make any points. I think thats pretty messed up.

Not bad, but I reackon it'd look better if the layout was centered and not positioned way off to the left. That, and what the hell is the point of this Profile War? What do you get? What's the incentive to play?

I like it , it was well done as long as you did it all yourself

forums match the site skin and everything well done just the home page is a bit small maby its the lack of content idk but all in all great job =)

Thats weird, I just figured you never centered the layout. I am using firefox and it's all off to the left. I just opened with IE and it's centered. I use margin: 0 auto; to center things in firefox.

You say that people can earn points by posting on forums, wouldn't this lead to spamming?
uncled1023
Mar 28 2008, 06:43 AM
im not going to do that... yea, i agree with you... too much spamming. but i have the comments/messages flood warning set up... almost.

Mar 28 2008, 02:17 PM
set up a game which leads to posting in a spam forum where nobody can get points. that usually keeps spam out of the rest of the forums for me

What if somebody destroys your whole profile?

then you will have to find a way to gain some points to heal yourself, or else delete and make a new one.

Dam you got rid of the glitch lol. You could add the same person over and over again to your friends list. I was going to tell you but it was like in the night and i had to get up early to go rowing then to london to help with Oxford and Camebridge race.
I got loads of points with it then destroyed some of trippins things lol.

I'm totally distracted when I visit the page, and look at everything but the content. I suggest using a lighter background colour for those sections; the black doesn't contrast well. Other than that, I don't have much of a complaint.

And it's awesome - at least it matches your game name haha.
I, though, have a pet peeve about domain names. I will sit there for an hour or more searching up domain names for something i like/need before I'll get ANYTHING other than a .com... But that's just me lol

HOLY POO that looks so much better!

Good job uncleD!
Change the dang link though to www.profilewars.net in the main post

I do suggest a couple of things though:
1) The banner is wayyyyy out of place. I would definately make it a non-animated one - maybe make it similar to the login one.
2) Make the colors more consistant - If you are going to make everything gray, make EVERYTHING gray.. Like basically make everything dark gray/black and yellow - Especially like the login background, kinda grundgy and it just looks neat.
3) Make the a:visited (css) for the links to be the same color as the regular links.. Or at least not purple.
But yeah, ditch the banner

Sorry but i just think it takes attention away from everything else.
