Well, there *is* a comment saying "We have a few more features and tweaks to make, so do bare with us" - but, of course, they did use the word "bare" instead of "bear", and I don't feel comfortable taking my clothes off with them. Not unless they buy me a nice dinner and drinks first.[/QUOTE]
As far as I am concerned the #1 rule of professional website design is do not launch a site unless it's finished.

... at least, from their css, they seem to have discarded that horrid Garamond, and kept to a sans-serif family, as their default font.
I suppose that might be the reason for the delay with the message boards: chances are, the templates needed being re-written all over again to match the styles.

It looks quite okay although the design is very simple - it looks more like a fan site. I didn't check the validity but the html code looks good. I never liked QOL but I think this is slightly better than the previous version - not graphically but at least it's more "accessible", especially from other browsers.
Yes, lynx rules !

Regretfully not, there are some "issues" with the database that Outside Line are trying to resolve with EMI at the moment. I can't say any more than that right now, but it isn't a new forum, it isn't anything major and there's certainly no conspiracy theory style issues going on.
As for the new forum template. I will be adapting the fonts on it to match the website once it's back up and running, it appears they listened to the complaints on the forums and changed the main fonts on the site before going live (although didn't mention it to me) so I'll re-adapt the template to match, but that's not a major job and can be done once it's up and running again.
My understanding is the new site design was approved by Jim Beach and Brian before going live, I have my own opinions on the site that I have made clear before now on QOL and will leave it at that.
Hopefully the forums should be back up and running again soon. If I get any more info I will pass it on.
Cheers

I've been checking the concertography that was added. There are some inconcistencies with your own. I spotted the Puebla dates for one.
Do you see any others?
It also apears that Canada is now in South America:)
Concerning the new design.
It does look basic, but I never realy liked the old design. it just looked to elaborated and no to practical to me. Sure there is room for improvement and i'm sure we'll see it in time.

thank you very much for the update and the work you're doing.
And - no conspiracy theories here: of that, you should know I am innocent ;-)

Did QOL not pay their bill? :-)

No, they just want to make sure they've got as many email addresses to spam as possible...otherwise they might need Jacky back...

Surely it's the quality of the comments that make a board worth visiting, not the colours and layout....
