New Website

[Gwydion]

I clicked my bookmark for Pendraken this morning and something different appeared!
Snazzy new website - looks cool at first sight.
Newsletter sign up
One thing - the Forum links on the front page and Renaissance page don't work at the moment.
How did I get here? A circuitous route - Latest News then Go to Pendraken Forum.

Just me?

Anyway - best wishes for new site!

Yeah it's looking good. Renaissance works for me, though the Forum link is broken.

Just had a quick click around and the site seems much faster, tried out the search and it's much improved from the old one

Much more mobile-friendly too and easier to navigate.

Yes, I should have been clearer - the Renaissance page works for me as well - it's the forum link that doesn't work on that page (it was the only page I tried before searching for the forum links)
The only forum link I could get to work was the one at the top of the Latest News page.
The rest of the site I've skimmed through looks brilliant.

Same problem with the forum link for me, otherwise looks really good

Looks really good, I like the grid view of the figures, which makes browsing much easier.

Great job on the margin too - new stuff integrated painlessly.

I can add to the chorus that the link to the forum does not seem to be working.  Also, from the NEWS page the link back to the front page still seems to reference the old page i.e. states it does not exist.

I signed up for the Newsletter.
A short time afterwards I received a 'Newsletter Confirmation' email with a 'Confirm Subscription' button to click.
Now I signed up to a newsletter and got a confirmation email to click and confirm - you'd think I'd click wouldn't you? But I am a suspicious kind of a chap and nowhere is there any indication of who this 'Confirmation' is from except 'mailer@ekmresponse'.
I have a natural reluctance to clicking on U/I links in emails from U/I senders.
I presume it is Kosher Leon?
Anyone else clicked and been inundated with offers to move oil profits to the UK for equal shares with an escaping General/Minister/Political Refugee?

Forum link on front page working for me now

Looks great!

One small niggle:
When clicking a picture for more detail / better look the image that pops up is smaller than the image clicked on...

Use Quickview to get a slightly closer look.

Liking the new site a lot.

Good to see that everyone's found the new site then!  The Forum link is fixed now but there's a couple of other links that I need to go tidy up, we thought that they'd update when it went live but some are still pointing to the test pages.

We've found this with folks using bigger screens?  The images are generally 400-600 pixels wide so if you're using a larger computer screen they won't show much bigger when you click into them.  It's something we can look at fixing over time.

The new site is looking good and I had no problem with the link. I also like the 'four in a row' grid.

.... It's something we can look at fixing over time.

Like all new builds, there will be some snagging issues, however. For example, in the American section of the AWI range, the "American" flags shown are in fact British ones (although to be brutally honest, the AWI flags - certainly the ones that I received - are not a very good product, imo, and should be replaced with better quality prints). Plus, most of your North American buildings for the ACW can be used for the AWI so it might be worth an explanatory paragraph in the scenery section highlighting this (I seem to recall the old site highlighted this)?

Perhaps a separate thread for feedback on snagging issues any of us find as we all work our way through the new site?

Nice stuff
