Only 10x06 and newer had polls on their episode discussion threads here in the forums (which is where the ratings are pulled from).

I also don't want to add polls to the old threads as then I think the votes won't be accurate as it'll be a small sample size (not many people I imagine will go back and vote) which could result in skewed results.

Great changes to the site !

One suggestion from me (if its possible).... Why not have a GIF image showing the mentioned segments in the description of the same size, instead of the static screenshot?

As i said, its just a suggestion. What do you say, Viper?

Two reasons:

1) The amount of work involved for not much payoff really.

2) It'd be incredibly distracting IMO having a bunch of moving images and they wouldn't all change at the same time (as each would have to download). As it is some people think the images make the season listings too busy and this would only further make it so. Static images are a nice compromise.

Feel free to do any in the Wiki that don't have screenshots, minus season 8 and 3x5 -> 3x9.

Lots of hardwork I'm sure. Am fairly website illiterate but know how to appreciate a good concept. This IS a good concept. Well done bro's.

I agree. What happened to the complete season 1 and future season 2 rips from SBS, as opposed to BBC Prime. I mean, I already have Season1, but I was curious for future users looking for these complete season rips as they are referenced in the forums but not on the new and vastly improved pages.

btw - I wish to thank Viper and all the other members that have put in so much effort to make this site truly spectacular.

I like it, but the season banners are a bit busy with all those tiny pictures in it.

Out of numerous forums I visit, FinalGear is the best laid out and maintained, and easiest to navigate of them all. And despite the risk that software upgrades may go wrong (just ask Microsoft!), FinalGear still is images/smilies/smile.gif Thanks for all the hard work Viper!

Scrolling on the main page with the latest firefox is kinda choppy.
And it's not my CPU's fault.

All of the download links for season 1 each point to the same torrent on Mininova. Same for season 2.

SBS has only aired season 1 (which is what's on the site). They will start airing season 2 later this month and I'll eventually replace the current season 2 torrent with SBS rips.

http://www.finalgear.com/shows/ is probably going to get redone. I needs a link to the torrents feed and yeah, it could do with links to the official sites as well.
