Better.

I wish you had not changed the url's again, notably the download link http://bitshares.org/resources/downloads where /resources was added. All of the links pointing to the download page across the Internet are now broken, such as facebook, social media, referrals, and third-party website links... I will hold off for a day or so before updating my 20+ links to that page in case you decide to remove the /resources part.

Will add rewrite to htaccess later on - have to sleep ...

Thanks, I figured you would do a redirect, but do you know if /?AffiliateID would pass on through? I'll update mine to the new one anyway.

guess this doesn't matter...

http://www.bitshares.org/downloads/ is pointing to http://www.bitshares.org/resourcres/downloads/

Online!

new site is online - also still work is in progress! We will add additional content continuously!

Hopefully, because bases on previous experience, current things got stale and never added new stuff.

Apparently the old one had a negative response to it.
Yes, there is no point to the count down if its not counting down to anything.

I think a 'watch this space' message would suffice

mitao · January 31, 2015, 05:07:34 PM

This is crap, if you are unable to do the job, find someone else. At least put the old one on. What is this stupid counting idea come from. Gosh...

Coming soon pages are very good at capturing leads and I use them regularly.

It is better than the other website. If offers the individual a direct link to download
and a possibility to be noticed when the site is relaunched.

Curiosity is very effective in marketing and I think it's doing a good enough job.

*agreed*

Further, there are good reasons to add extra time to cass's budget ..

this countdown is useless, if you change the date all the time. what a joke!

We need strong leadership to avoid this mess imo.

nomoreheroes7 · January 25, 2015, 06:55:06 PM

Lol I like how the countdown now is the exact same as the countdown time for the Pirate Bay...heh.

cusknee · January 24, 2015, 07:06:16 PM

Sorry I know that you're working hard etc.. and for me it's no problem that the countdown date keeps moving but you already have me. The poor blokes that we are trying to attract are the ones that I'm worried about. With them in mind the countdown is annoying and counterproductive. Just my opinion.

cass · January 24, 2015, 03:42:01 PM

done

liondani · January 24, 2015, 03:18:57 PM

Please add a link to the bitsharestalk forum also on the page ;)

<- patience in person :)

cass · January 24, 2015, 12:17:48 PM

We apologize for any inconveniences that may occur as a result of these changes and will keep you informed about related developments.
We are working hard on soon completion of the contents and therefore ask you for just another little bit of patience.

lzr1900 · January 24, 2015, 10:56:20 AM

what？
another 7 days added???!!! :(

yup working on it :) countdown puts a lot of pressure into it btw^^

So this pressure makes the countdown changeable? Or I remember it wrong?

Ander · January 23, 2015, 11:16:53 PM

From the glimpses we saw on Nullstreet, its way better than the old one. Just dont expect it to magically take BTS to new highs or anything like that.

It would be good to include options for translation.. I suspect some users are frustrated that there is only English GUI etc.. see https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=13587.0

It can be simple to translate content and even if standing text is hard to resolve, that can could just be a welcome page with text that can stand the test of time - request anyone submits a translation for each language, match two submissions and consider the difference.. throw through some online translation to check it's not wild. That'll likely be gifted to you for free, if you ask for contributions. It's simple to use a user's browser preferred language, to redirect to a page that is in that language or a place holder for it.

yup this will be done on 2nd step ... no time for getting this work to tomorrow..

I've also learned around here that promises of new websites aren't generally to be taken very seriously. Maybe that will be different now in the post-Brian Page world. :)

i fully can understand your feelings ... hopefully we can convince you this time .. i can just speak from design point of view ... content is another part ...

Haha, I certainly didn't mean to disparage your work, cass! Much respect for you and what you do.

The countdown is up because cass is working on the design for the new website. Looking forward to it. :)

toast · January 22, 2015, 09:30:46 PM

Nothing special, just a fresh look that matches our branding and has a clearer message about our core value propositions and opportunities.

The only reason for the countdown is because an empty page has 0 public perception impact instead of negative impact we had with the previous site.

biophil · January 22, 2015, 09:26:10 PM

That's what I've heard.
