New site in the hizzy. -DJ Sith - Feb 17 01:28am

I'm sure most of you are checking your address bars to make sure you're at the right site. Yes this is still the Academy site. :) Waaay back in June when the PHP based site was created we were under a real time crunch to officially open so I kind of threw a site together with a few screenshots. I was never really satisfied with it, and wanted the site to have a more "modern" and "academy" feel to it. This is what I came up with. I hope ya'll like it. :) I think I've covered all tracks of the old site, but if you see anything wrong with the new design (images out of place, broken url's, etc) please let me know.

I need to give credit where due credit is due. The Logo in the top left was made by Nightcrawler, who is working on a slightly different version that will go on all of our store merchandise. Yes you too can finally own JA boxer shorts. :) The image hiding in the menu is the Knight Insignia made by Ulic Belouve (recolored by yours truly though).

Neato site tricks: Each time the page loads one of 7 random screenshots will load in the title image. Fancy, eh? If you have a particurlarly cool screenshot that has an "academy" feel to it send it my way. If I can work it into the design I'll add it to the store of random loaded title images.

I hope you enjoy the change. Keep practicing and have fun!

You'll need to clear your disk cache and restart your browser. It looks like Mozilla based browsers *really* like to use the cached old menu image.

Like the new design.

I don't know if this is just me, but I'm at work using a Mac and I can see parts of the old site in the background.

I'll check this when i go home and use my PC, but can anyone else see this?

wow! really nice! the colours are much better and the menue looks very modern and the pics are way cool :)

only thing (just a minor thing): the text in the window with the changing pics is a bit blury... maybe get a high quality there?
and would there be a way to move that banner? maybe under the copyrights? or at the right side?

rest is perfect :)
