Awesome! New background for Antares!
That looks awesome, Lighthouse!

But I'm still having a problem with the updater looking for cityofheroes/beta/eula.html and apparently not finding it.
Any fixes?

Thanks for the head's up on that issue, it should be resolved very shortly.

I find it interesting that the NVIDIA "The way it's meant to be played" logo has been replaced with an ATI logo. I know they supplied video cards at the recent Hero Con, and they are sponsoring the current costume contest... but wasn't this game originally coded for NVIDIA support (hence the problems that several ATI users were having)?

Wow. I didn't even notice that. Awesome. Although honestly, I have had really good luck with ATI and CoX over the last year.

The forum migration will have a few more steps involved in it. Very soon we will have the new forums available as a beta test for people to get comfortable with vBulletin as well as uncover any problems with the forum software and allow time to make corrections to address them. As you may be aware, we've been using vBulletin for the Closed Beta Test forums for Issue 13 and have done a good bit of troubleshooting there.
This migration plan is to ensure a smooth transition for everyone involved. Thanks for your interest and continued support!

Fantastic LH. The new forums are a much needed addition.

My work comp doesn't seem to like the new website. It freezes up IE.

Well you know... we got all excited about it a year ago at the M&G in San Jose...
So you guys are just killing off the villainside of the site? What about the folks who like the red view instead of the blue?

Says who? 
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

One of the consequences tho, is my RSS reader just alerted me to new announcements, dating back to 22 September 2008.
The server status page, anyway of making the graphics smaller so the servers show up quicker?
Is the server status page using the same code as previous, so those of us that have it on our fansites aren't going to get broken Java?

We are collecting feedback on the new site, so if you see a functionality issue or problem with the re-designed CityofHeroes.com please post it here, thanks!

Wow! I love the new website. It's so cool. 
A question though: the www.cityofvillains.com/ site currently redirects to the main CoH site, will there eventually be a CoV site again?
[/ QUOTE ]
The main website covers both aspects of the game. We've given anyone who ever had access to both sides, so they are both sides to the same coin that is the City of Heroes franchise.

I did notice that at http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_inf...y/longbow.html it says; "Viewed by Recluse as a mere annoyance, the Longbow units slowly hope to establish control over the many contested islands just off the coast of Paragon City."
I really believe that this should read; "Viewed by Recluse as a mere annoyance, the Longbow units hope to slowly establish control over the many contested islands just off the coast of Paragon City."

The new web site looks great (easier on the eyes)!

Can you open IE and go to the Help menu item and then to the "About Internet Explorer" item from that drop down menu and list for us which version of IE you are browsing the website with?
