Okay, here's the plan...
We are going to switch over to the new website today (well, we're going to
try at least). There is one problem: we built the new website inside a sub-folder to keep it separated from the active site. Well, the first test we did to bring the new site online broke everything because of the dependent paths to images and pages.
So, we are going to do our best to switch the site and updated all the links as quickly as possible. Until then, the website may or may not work.
However, the forums shouldn't be affected. Baring a catastrophic failure, they should stay up during the switch over.
As soon as the new website is functioning normal, we'll put up a couple new Book 2 screen shots.

Yeah, that was not meant for you- it was part of the setup screen for the beta website. That old beta test link should be dead now.

FYI:
Clicking on the Book I and Book II links under the Pub sign still takes you to the old site...
*EDIT*
And the catacombs shows up as "Untitled Document" at the top of the screen.
**ONE MORE EDIT (I think)**
I'm using Windows 7 and IE 8

But you didn't fix Bernie's Windows 7 problem!...

Gotta new bug:
Clicking on the "Comments" (it's actually "No Comments") on either of the front-page topics at the new home page gets you a "404 - Page Not Found" error.
(I really want to comment (there) on the new screenshots!!

)

Comments are fixed. Sorry 'bout that.

Also, a couple of the Book II screenshots, and all of the Book I screenshots, are lacking figure captions. (I don't know if this is a big deal or not...)

The New Archives page (no longer the Catacombs?...

) looks much better. Just a couple of things:
1) A few of the date 'headers' down at the bottom of the page are unbolded.
2) Is there any way to get more space (like two carriage returns instead of one) in between each archive entry? I think it would look better with more space between the entries...
I think I've checked everything now (except for things like the purchase links), and it all seems to work great!

Nice new screen shots for Book 2.
The text box at the bottom had some interesting game information.

If you're suggesting I
downgrade to one of those "alternative" OSes, I'll pass.

OK, New Archive (Catacombs) looks better with the new larger topic headings.
Now the only problem is that a few of the dates (March 23, June 14 & June 20, all 2007) 'headings' still need to be changed to the new larger bolded font.

The Catacombs page looks a lot better.
Those new screens are great!
I didn't find any bugs at all, up to now.
