Title: Submit Hardware Information Explanatory Texts
Post by: Sirgin on March 14, 2009, 11:02:36 AM
I've noticed that the texts under the different submission options in Submit Games Additions / Edits and Submit Hardware Additions / Edits are the same.


The text under both Add Game Additions and Submit Hardware Additions is:
Quote
Got a game that is not in the database or its variation or regional variation is not in the database? If you do, then please click the above link!

That's fine for game additions but I think under Submit Hardware Additions it should be changed to:
Quote
Got a piece of hardware that is not in the database or its variation or regional variation is not in the database? If you do, then please click the above link!

Similary, the text under Submit Hardware Image should be changed to:
Quote
Got a hardware image to submit? This link then is for you.


I know these are only small details, but it makes the site better overal, so why not change those explanatory texts to things that make sense? :)

Because you can submit a "piece of hardware image". ;)

It could be changed to an "image of a piece of hardware" but that just sounds horrid and probably grammatically incorrect.
I never really was all that good with english/grammar/sentence structure/etc/etc though so i could be wrong about that.

But it still seems like an unnecessary change to an already acceptable sentence.

Obviously, you didn't read my post properly.

Right now, under Submit Image in the Submit Hardware Additions / Edits section it says:
Quote
Got a game image to submit? This link then is for you.
I don't know about you, but in my opinion a piece of hardware usually isn't a game, thus the sentence should be changed.

If anyone would actually take the time to read what these lines say, they'd realise it doesn't make sense at all.

It's alright. :)

My post may be a bit confusing, but I don't know any other way to explain it. ;)
