Looks much better anyway, haven;t had a chance to dig through it yet and see what's new/missing.

Not too impressed, it does look better, but that's a very basic job. It looks like they bought a template and just plugged their stuff in, which is a shame because they have so many great art assets and personality that could have went into the job. Also, it seems like a lot of their additional pics are missing and there is less to see per model now too.

Maybe next time, but for now, at least they brought the site out of the 90's lol!

The 28th of April 2010 saw Forge World take over Warhammer World Forge World for another of our ever popular Open Days.

Good to see they proofread what they post.

When I saw the thread title I expected something nice. This new site is pretty damn ugly, but at least the navigation has been streamlined.

8000 points of XI Legion the Space Vagabonds, they can adapt their tactics to represent any and every Legion and Chapter as needed because they were created by the Emperor to be the ultimate tactical power. They have faked their disappearance in order to infiltrate every part of the conflicts in the galaxy.

8000 points of Tau/Craftworld Eldar/Necron because the Space Vagabonds can also emulate their wargear and tactics.

Victories: ALL
Losses: NONE (My armies have the psychic ability to conjure a cataclysmic storm whenever they are about to lose. This allows the Space Vagabonds to teleport away while releasing power waves that destroys the battlefield and so every battle is a victory)

I'm getting the new one. Maybe a very odd caching issue?

It definitely looks like it was done by the same designer that did the current GW web site. Similar dropdown menus, no real line between 'store' and 'web site.'

Not offensive to the eyes, but nothing to make me jump up and down, either.

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy.

Yes, some people seem to be having cache issues or summat...

..but I have no idea what any of that means and will simply state that only the really cool, handsome and virile people can see the new site.

Not too keen on the turquoise background, but an improvement still over what we had.

That certainly looks a lot better, but I'm surely not seeing it here on my screen. I wonder what the issue is? It's not coming up in IE8 or Chrome.

What browser are you using Breotan?

People who are able to view the new site... What browser are you using?

Much better to navigate now. You don't need 3 -4 pages to get to the products. And you don't have to scroll endlessly to find a specific Eldar product. From the structure I guess that the extra photos missing will be added later (arrows in the photo section defunct ATM). Some missing items back online (e.g. Fantasy Inn).

Give FW another 5 years and they will master the technology of colour photography for all of their products

I don't think it was the same guy, the menus are really straight up html/java, standard stuff. I had a look at the code and I am almost 100% sure the navigation functionality is template based.

They couldnt update the logo either??? Most of the smaller DIY resin casters out there look better than this... maybe i'll send them an e-mail lol....

Well I kind of moved near Toronto, actually.

It is kind of meh to me, to be honest. Front page could be more dynamic/ more of a selling platform. Ork trukk is cool.

Still no change in website layout no matter what buttons I press.

Having a look using Fierfox/linux now and still the same.... force change is having...no effect either....odd.

It is a nice store, though good thing I do not have a credit card. Click, click, click, click.

I had to reload a number of times, I was going to do a ctrl-reload but it finally worked. It could be _their_ website, they could have the old site there for old browsers. Something like if it does load the new style sheet then it loads the old site instead. But it will load eventually.

I am still seeing the old site as well, and I am certainly not going to change anything on my computer.

No other sites have ever given me these issues before, and apparently I am not the only one, so this really is Forge World's problem. They better fix this or they will probably lose out on a lot of traffic on their site (and sales).

Didn't get any link there to work, all lead to errors.

Refreshing the page isn't helping anyone. It's not likely a cache issue. I'm guessing they moved servers as well and it's taking some time for DNS replication.

It doesn't work on IE or Firefox. So I'm waiting for the main caches to get updated.

Ah darn that sucks.

On the other note- the site is much easier to buy things as more things are shown at one time and things feel cleaner. Like it.

I don't think this behavior is a DNS issue.
