...more will come up later (this month/year)

Thanks Bill for all your effort and work on the one, which is gone now!!!!
It was always a great pleasure to have you sitting near to them...

...it needs some time, until everyone can see the new page, because of the DNS caching, which will be different on several places around the world... So please take some patience and check back later!

Seems they pulled it back. Old site is back in place again.

Ironically, nobody ever consulted with me about the staging server where they could have tested all of this, worked their bugs out and then easily launched it live. I offered my assistance for technical questions but wasn't going to do grunt work for them.

Sack the new Design Agency and bring back Redman.

I don't know what the new official site looks like, but Redman's design is pure bliss. 10/10.

Let's see what happens but I have some doubts about the updatings news of the new official PSB site. I hope the new webmasters are PSB fans too.

Same design so far...

I'm sure that Neil has told them to build an admin site, as I did, that will allow him to continue updating the news on the site. They are an agency and PSB are one of MANY clients for them. Where as I did all the little updates for free...any time PSB needs something, I'm sure they'll be charged for any and every little thing. Perhaps not..but they're (Airside.co.uk) a business and as such..they can't do work for free. It'll be different for PSB...but I'm sure they'll do just fine with Airside.

Biill your design is/was brilliant. I can only assume the chosen design is perfect if it managed to beat an excellent design like yours!

Anyway, they are not going to put as effort as a fan can put.

Thanks. I can't take credit for this alone though. Tom Jordan (some might recognize that name) is the other half that pulled the designs together around my concept. We were very excited about this concept and felt it would have easily beat any competition..but...guess it wasn't PSB's flavor.

As to whether the choosen site design is better then this...it'll be all the fans reading this, decision. I'll be curious to read what everyone thinks once they get it up and running.

The new design is up now??
