Neither do I. It says I have to update my Flash Player.

I do have Flash installed, but all I see is the OLD website (fully functional, btw)

Ooooh, I can see and use (with minimal functionality

) the new site

I am getting the new one but I still hate it. some of it doesn't work. I hate the way it opens into a new window (why?) and the arrows are wierd and intractable at times. and I don't see the Q&As either. I really hope things improve on this otherwise they're gonna lose me coming in there every day. it's gonna be a chore to navigate that thing.

The new design is nice (if uninspired) but all in all its extremely user unfriendly. Short of selling exclusive downloads on the site I probably won't visit often. And forcing a new window to open is simply unacceptable!

I think the new site looks pretty swish. It's always good to see an updated site, with fresh ideas.

Thank you for the old site Bill. Now to get your own fan based site back up, just like the good old days

I can only see the old site too.

No that bad...
My pic/info is also missing on the Peatheads section...just as many others. As I can see, the max petheads on each country is now just 35, that´s the reason why many pics are missing...I hope this situation get solved soon!

I can see the new site now - ish. The "launch" page doesn't load properly for me, despite having Flash 8 and the correct screen resolution. It also runs very slowly, even on broadband.

I say this not to moan, but as constructive feedback!

I like the use of Geowayne's On This Day feature.

Oh, it's about time. Looks *very* different though.

Still, like it very much. The old site sure did need a revamp. Looks smart, minimalist, clean what more could one want!? Needs a bit of getting used to, but heck 'tis the *new* Pet Shop Boys of the twenty-first century after all! Well done to airside and the Boys.

Thanks Elena....I'll still be around....I was a fan long before this work and will continue to be a fan long after. I'm not that talkative on the forums but I'm here.

That`s nice to hear

=======================================================================
I see the new design with white background now. Will it stay like it is now? Is it the final version? Please say no. I don`t like it at all. The font size is so small. They want us to blind?

Well, as a professional webdeveloper I have to say this is a pretty bad functional website. It lacks basics as a proper document definition to start with, doesn't validate to any web standard, if not flash it uses all sorts fo Javascript. Further more they haven't even used the EOLAS Patent patch to enable active content. This results in a very bad accesible website (also for search engines). The only justification for this is the jukebox which needs to play continueously across all pages, but there are better solutions for that. This is not how you make websites 2006...

The site itself looks very minimalistic in design (if you can even call it that), just like the old site. Looking at this they probably found Bill's design to extravagant

BTW, the flash file includes the actual password for a test application login (with the test url even included), with a poor base64 encoding, very easy to crack/re-use....somebody needs to wake up at airside...
