FYI, looks like they've done some redesign on the abc.go.com site, maybe that's why they forgot to flip the switch on Chapter 2.

Maybe, but they did put a link to chapter 2 up….. ON TUESDAY! One day before the big revamp. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I think they just forgot. Yell

Well if they are like my company's web development team, the "go live" on the new site was probably supposed to be Monday, but they ran into trouble and didn't get it to work, did the stop gap on Tuesday, worked all night and still didn't get it up live until Wednesday. Wink  

And the marketing dept shares 50% of the blame because they kept changing the content they wanted on the site, causing coding changes Smile

Hahaha! That's probably quite likely what happened. Ah yes, feature creep and constant changes… the life of a computer scientist/programmer/web designer. :P

Unfortunate that the redesign is not better/nicer than the original. :(

I'm a little disappointed with the redesign too.. something about it doesn't look very professional. I'm probably biased though LOL

Yeah, agree it isn't that great, they should use this site as a template!  Much more professional looking, better flow and easier to use!

I don't know what the original page looked like, but have to say that this new one looks like a page out of a scrapbook. Maybe it's supposed to be more user friendly, but I find it rather awkward.

Yeah, I find the blocks at the bottom really odd looking, same with the text over them. It doesn't look professional, more like a high school attempt.

Those blocks at the bottom with the text are what bother me the most. That's the scrapbook page haha!
