http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2410 Granted it's not as big of a number as those using IE, not even close really, but the poll position is ****ed up on AOL too. And no, I don't use AOL. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I would like to report an error or problem on GameFAQs. Message From TeamRocketElite at 2006-06-18 23:38:10 The Best. Series. Ever. banner causes a display error in Internet Explorer because it's too wide. The PotD and everything else on the right side is pushed down near the bottom of the page. This has had a serious effect on the vote totals in the PotD and would affect the upcoming contest. If the banner was reduced to 420 or less pixels wide, the problem would disappear.

Message From Applause_Sign at 2006-06-19 15:47:41 The current banner for the series contest on the homepage appears to be a few pixels too wide in both Internet Explorer and AOL causing the poll of the day to jump all the way to the bottom of the page. With the contest coming up, it would be great to see to poll of the day return to its normal place.

What? Pointing out a problem with the site and providing a solution to
it actually prompted a timely response from CJayC? Yeah, maybe in
BIZARRO WORLD. So, um, awesome TRE and all that. <.< |

I'm starting to think that whole Sonic/SSB and MM/MK may not exactly go as parallel as we think. --- "People who play RPGs are depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games" - Hiroshi Yamauchi * Is Dranze * |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 6/19/2006 11:58:05 AM | message detail |
| It likely won't. I'd take SSB to beat MK with ease, and I'd have a tough time choosing between Sonic and Mega's games. Even if MM beats MK -- comfortably, even -- that won't make me feel any less confident in SSB > Sonic. |

It doesn't say would you buy a PS3, it says would you buy a FF7 remake.
I answered yes, but it still wouldn't be enough to make my buy a PS3. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Also, it's pretty intresting how 24% listed FF7 as their favorite game
ever for the Top 100, and in this poll 26.2% answered the top most
option. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids |

It doesn't say would you buy a PS3, it says would you buy a FF7
remake. I answered yes, but it still wouldn't be enough to make my buy
a PS3. That's pretty much the point. People want to look at polls with Nintendo and Sony in them and determine that Nintendo is obviously dominating the site. I have always said that how well the PS3 or Sony does in these polls doesn't relate to Square in any way, and I think this poll does a good job of reinforcing that. I mean, 43.93% of this site would buy/consider buying a PS3 whereas 73.69% of this site would buy a PS3 remake of FFVII. --- "If you're asking for a date, forget it.

HEY TRE, I TOTALLY SENT MY FEEDBACK TICKET IN A FEW HOURS BEFORE YOU!!! Message From JDMS at 2006-06-18 19:25:43 The banner on the front page promoting the Best Series Ever contest causes the whole right side of the page to get pushed all the way down to the bottom of the page in Internet Explorer. I think decreasing the width of the banner would make the poll go back to where it belongs, and the error is only in Internet Explorer (as far as I know... it's not happening in Firefox anyway.)

Didn't the poll used to be a little lower before it was fixed? I
thought the poll was located in the lower right hand side of the
screen. Now it's on the upper right. Or maybe I'm wrong? In either case, its better on the upper right. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

Buy it? I'd invest in Square Enix to make it happen! 28.64% 20544 Yes, I'd love to see it on a modern system 24.06% 17256 Probably, if it was re-done well 22.24% 15953 Probably not, I wasn't a big fan FF7 11.7% 8394 No, I can't stand it 13.35% 9577 TOTAL VOTES 71724 And the "invest" option continues to rise. Also the vote totals are very nice. 71,000 with almost 6 hours to go. If the poll had been in the normal location for IE the whole day, we might have broken 95,000 today. Even with it at the bottom for half the day, it still looks like we'll get pretty close to 90,000. --- 1123581321345589 |

I don't know if it was ever recently asked or not, but Advent

America, 1.0 million copies in Japan, and 1,000 copies in Europe, which

I declare myself the winner. I would like to report an error or problem on GameFAQs. Message From HaRRicH at 2006-06-18 02:50:41 In Internet Explorer today, the poll-position (no pun intended) is messed up compared to both how it had been and how Firefox handles it. It would be in the best interest of the polls for that to be fixed, especially with the upcoming contest.

I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN 50 DOLLAH NO MATTER WHAT and yeah, two things today made me change my pick: - this poll; - the random realization that FF11 might help FF, even if only a little bit.

The second isn't necessarily more impressive, but it's more useful

the voting population that will be participating in the July contest. --- Enter The GameFAQs StarCraft Tournament of Champions 2006: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=2000184&topic=28674294 |

Well, I gotta say I'm impressed at the power of FF7. Almost a third of the site would buy a remake without owning the console. It's a great game, no doubt about that.
