As you will have noticed, the new website is now live.
It is recommended that you clear your browser cache to make sure that modified css and js files are downloaded.

Please post any problems here: I'm sure there's quite a few small ones such as colours etc. but hopefully nothing too severe. I have tested as much as I can using Firefox, IE, and Safari.

The menus are dynamic, btw. You can bookmark friends' gangs and have them stored in your gangs menu. Whenever you view a vehicle or character of your own its added to the menu so you can find them again easily during the current session.

When I am in the lobby, and try and open a second window by hittin gteh forums or gang buttons, it says that I am not logged in on the new window opening. Using IE 7.

Edit - It appears that when the new window opens, it stays logged in and logs out the other one.

OK now? IE is slightly annoying in that every page with a transparent background has to declare it...

Will there be an option available to continue to use the website in "classic" format? Some of the older dogs here aren't very good at new tricks....

Otherwise, looks great!

I toyed with the idea, but lots of the code has edits so this would mean future changes would have to be applied into two separate places, which I'm not keen on.

I copied the old site here though, and it should mostly work (apart from some missing images, decals, custom skins):

http://www.dark-wind.com/v1/

.. but I don't want to maintain it as future changes are added

the six drop-down menus at the top.
It would be nice if clicking on places took you to Somerset.

Everyone starts there.

Or could be configurable ?

Looking good Sam. THis is going to be a big shift you guys, but I predict you'll be quite happy with it once you have found your usual focus.

The font used in the drop-downs is too bolded I believe. I'm in Firefox on a Mac. Looks like bolded Impact.

I was envisioning all my vehicles listed under Vehicles, listed by town in dynamic spring-out submenus. Is this still planned?

I'll get you that new style sheet I've been talking about. The center stuff needs to be updated too. Cream doesn't fit chrome.

Yep, and thanks for the great design BW!

It's not bold actually, but I noticed that's how it looked on my Mac also. Must be the default Impact font on the Mac at fault. Maybe we need to use a different font?

Not sure. Keeping the dynamic menu populated correctly as you buy, sell and loot could be a bit tough.

Aye, yep. Thanks :)
The centre colour is best done as a one-pixel GIF, if that's ok?

Looks great, some very nice functional improvements too.

But from an event page, clicking on a character or car does not seem to be working. Clicking a gang does switch to that gang's page.

I'm getting some pages, like this one, with the old cream page background and others, like Squads with no background. None isn't working well, and cream is icky. How about we make that background pix either a semi-transparent PNG or a 4 pix gif with every other pix trans?

I'll send you one to try, just tell me GIF or PNG.

On some pages, I kept the cream background because of the black/dark fonts that were overlaying it.

You don't like the 'no background' pages? One of the benefits of them is that they no longer visually stretch right down to the bottom of the iframe

I'd love if in addition to characters and vehicles adding into that dropdown menu, recently selected squads would also be on there.

But overall, pretty slick.

When i edit ped equipment in the pop-up (after clicking a gangster in my character's page), I need to drag and resize the window to see all the info.

if the new window's pop-up width was resized to a minimum 435 px it should fix this

Safari 4.0.2, mac os 10.5.8

Cheers nice work btw!
