I really like this site but have found the inner table to a bit screwed up sometimes , my screen is 17 inchs so that may be the problem, as for the commercial content I do think it is a good thing, I have tried to find the .PDF files of the tutorial I payed for or something to down load but this has not being the case. I found this confusing as I dont know if what I am reading at times is what I have paid for or is the free part. I really like and have found the site helpful the last few years.

The link to the .pdf file of purchased articles is in the blue properties box by the article. If you would like to see a list of all your purchases, go to MyDMXzone and select MyPurchases.

Well, I feel the site needs some major improvements as well. The information seems very scattered and hard to follow. For instance...

The tiny image beside the title "How to Migrate to SQL Server: Learn it here!", I have no idea what this image is supposed to be and can only tell by letting my cursor hover over it... it reads "add to favorites". What favorites? I clicked on it and it didn't show up in my IE browser favorites, is that some "site" favorites or something? And if so, where the heck are they?

Let's move on.

I would expect the heading "How to Migrate to SQL Server: Learn it here!" to be a link to the article. But NOOOOO... I have to scroll down below the 292 pixel banner that is god afwul ugly where it tells me to visit the "Premium Content" section.

So let's do that... we'll go to the Premium Content section. Cool, now I'm at the Premium Content section... oh wait... what article did I want to read? Let's see... scroll, scroll, scroll... hmmm.... I don't see anything that says "How to Migrate to SQL Server"... but I see that guy Robin Dewson's name who wrote the article... at least that's what it said on the last page. So Let's click that.

Ok, now I see a few articles on SQL including one titled "Move your database to SQL Server". Ohhhh... but I have to pay $1.99 to read it? That sucks. I could have gotten much further by simply doing a google search.

Oh wait... I have yet another complaint. So the favorites are located in the MyDMXzone page. But when I go there and click on Favorites (or any other link for that matter), it logs me out and says "please login". I was already logged in! I sure don't remember hitting the logout button. Maybe you should just add a "search on google" button and just use this site as a portal or something. dmxzone could just as well be a site for bad rappers who star in movies with Steven Seagal.

Ok, so maybe this site has a couple of broken links or bits that are not that clear to individuals, but if you can tell me that every site you have ever designed has never had that I dont beleive you.

I use this site daily and mainly the talkzones. They have helped me in ways that no other site has managed to do. The community of programmers here is excellent and there is always someone who will try to help.

Does it really matter that an image somewhere was 'not that clear'?

Keep up the good work DMX Team. This is one of the best web development tools anyone could ask for
