Knightmare.com Update
-
Delayed until this afternoon.
-
The new site is now online.
You will notice that the forum style was not changed. I figured that there were sufficient other things happening at once that we could do without the grief of fiddling with that too.
Hopefully you'll like the site.
Hopefully the bugs won't be too extensive.
Still plenty more work to do!

On first glance it looks nice 'nd easy on the eye.
The site has probably needed an update for quite some time. It has had the same basic design since its conception afterall.
I shall have a navigate around, and will report if anything doesn't seem quite right.
So far so good, anyway
Be interested to hear what other people think.

What a fantastic update! Quite a shock to see such a huge change to a layout i've been fairly used to all these years. It's about time we had an update, to bring the site up to date with the rest of the internet. The site is fairly easy to navigate and the layout is very modern and up to date. The colours in my opinion are perfect, and pay homage to the original layout and work well with the layout. I hope the overhaul of the forum will follow suit and match the website.
I think the next step is to try and gain some exposure, I would suggest using the Facebook group and Twitter to get the word around, however there has to be other methods of doing so. It would be a shame to have a nice new layout, with no one to look at it. I look forward to the future, and I hope the new layout is to everyones liking.

The new look is much more different than I would have expected it to be! That's meant in a good way though, as Darren said the site had looked the same since its beginning. It's all fantastic and shiny now!
As for exposure, agreed with the Facebook and Twitter but that's mainly applicable to people who remember Knightmare and would be likely to search for it; some people who would have watched it may remember the show but maybe not the name. Maybe we should do something offline too? In other words, taking Aranel's suggestion of poking people in the brains and shoving Knightmare in their faces literally.

*And thus, it came to pass that Knightmare.com was introduced to the majesty of Web 2.0
and truly did its visitors come to know the name of the King.*
But yes, a most excellent update. Facebook'd, tweeted and LJ'd for, as ever, Great Justice.

Very shiny .
Hello to everyone who already knows me, hi I'm Lucy to everyone who doesn't! I got the email about the new site and had to check it out, it's very easy to navigate and looks very slick.
Well done to all involved.

Good to hear from you Lucy

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say a big thanks to Mystara for taking over the site (its now in his ownership) and to those who helped transfer everything across. I cannot believe some of the pages are more than 10 years old... seems like only yesterday I was putting them together! It needed a re-design years ago to bring it up to date and I'm glad it's now happened.
And a big thanks to all of you over the last 10 years who has contributed to the site and made all those years of late nights worth it putting it all together. I'm not around much anymore but hope the site lives on.

**Second Doctor: You've had this room redecorated haven't you.
[shaking head]
Second Doctor: Don't like it. > **
Whilst the above doesn't illustratrate exact;y what I feel, it was my primary reaction. The old site had that cosy feel as tho being accessed from the Powers that Be stronghold at Knightmare Castle and was therefore a little more 'clunky'. The new one has the aura of being modern and efficent in the way Fear would himself be proud. So all in all, it is certainly an improvement but it's essence is not the same. However it's reassuring the previous owners comments could be summarised as
First Doctor [ to the Fifth Doctor ]: Goodbye, my boy. You did quite well, quite well. It's reassuring to know my future is in good hands.

'twill be used for people to log in to the main site, thus allowing them to vote in polls, submit corrections and add new articles to the site.
The plan is to integrate with IKM in the near future, so if/when that happens, it will also allow editing of the lexicon, etc.

I'm very impressed so far with the 'new look' to the website & congratulations to all involved! One thing that will be good to update is the Video clips section, as nowadays with most of us having broadband & the likes of ''YouTube'' around, maybe some of the existing content from here could be uploaded onto there in better quality (than Real Media etc) along with some 'new' stuff too.
So, all in all it's looking good at the mo & keep up the good work folks!
Kind regards,

P.S If anyone's got the start/end credits of S3 Ep16 (incl ''CITV'' links) from the 22nd Dec '89, then I would be so estaticly happy to see this one day, as I've only waited over 20 years since TSW opted-out of nearly all the links on that day! Take a look at my video of it, which explains more!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2DDd2XgMlA

Thanks, DJF! I hope I'm ok to speak on this - I've been silently chugging away for a little while on content without detailing anything here.
Absolutely, the video content hosted here can be replaced now that technology has moved on a long way. There's a list that is being worked through, and updating the stack of images (the display) has been a high priority. Some image work has had to be redone, alas. But it is coming along, with what is available, and I'm sure video content will follow in due course. Thanks for all the encouragement!
