Welcome!!!

It's a bit laggy :p

[MuseroChile]

?!?!?!?!

[Don'tPostThePear]

Hell yeah, i managed to find it through the RSS feed immediately after the countdown.:p

[shining_dark]

Hell yeah, i managed to find it through the RSS feed immediately after the countdown.:p
yeah i swear this site is having a fit lol, everything is slow, probably because there was just over 1,800 musers online...

[danger]

LAME. :chuckle:


This is not fun at the moment. Still love you guys, but I'm kind of mad.

[Goya]

*goes back to the old skin* No offense. This one is pretty. But... no offense.

[knightofcydonia14]

Yay new board skin!

[ilovemuse.]

unintedeurasia is now starting to work for me!
Yeah! It's freakin' slow, though! So many people on at once!:LOL:

[FutureLegend]

Hmmmm.... I'm in my profile and I've suddenly morphed into BbqMonkey:stunned:

[NeonBomb]

I'm starting to get used to it :p

[Archdoom]

It's growing on me :)

Still, I like the old one more :/ but this one is nice too.

[o0oCroinao0o]

i like it!! :D

[alternaterealities]

Don't like it as much as I liked the old site layout, but I am starting to get used to it and liking it more.
Hated it when I first saw it though.

[clairbear]

Thanks to everyone at Muse.mu for a fantastic new site - well worth the nail biting moments - I could stay on there for hours!

And thanks to everyone who was posting literally counting down the minutes to the wait! It was great sharing all the excitement and helping each other with what to do - do we wait for the zeros, do we refresh????? Communicating with people from all over the world all focused on the one event - amamzing! I'm sure only Muse could bring people together like this! In the end it looked as though everyone just had to WAIT for what seemed like an eternity but we all eventually got in, but I'm still waiting to get into United States of Eurasia microsite!

I love being able to share my feelings about Muse thanks to Muse Messageboard, Muselive and now muse.mu itself! Thank you everyone! :D

[iamevn]

The layout is meh but the content is awsome, Finally I can listen to Cant Take My Eyes Off of You on the site. :musesign:

[Milky Joe]

First thing I did today was change the skin back to stars :LOL:

[bellamy'szetagirl]

I'm liking the new site. I can actually get onto it from my mobile phone, which is something I couldn't do before.:happy:

[Jessicat]

I'm loving the world map showing where all the musers are from.
It's funny though all us Aussies live in the middle of Aus where it is just desert.:LOL:

[spiiikes]

I have to register a new account on the website, as in different from the account I am using on the forums, correct?

[lostkiwibird]

Its very cool. I like the map of Musers across the world but not so much the skin map, giving me a headache :rolleyes: Only gripe though, in general its an improvement on the old site. Can we have the 2006 spooky mind control music back? :p It freaked me out in a good way.

[Niall]

Nope, you can use the same account.

I reocmmend you all have a look at the expanded media section with many b-sides, rare tracks and the DVDs, and have a look at the new gigs archive and photo galleries.

As for the background map, it's not gonna permanant.

[crazybobbles]

oww the iphone version of it doesn't work :(

[*OoS*]

I love the new features... very fan community focused :D but the design isn't as impressive as previous ones (I loved the Absolution one with the cycling menu :p)

[Niall]

oww the iphone version of it doesn't work :(

The whole site or just the media player?

All the media files are up in mp4...it was...tedious...

[muse-freak]

I tried to register with the website but it said the username was taken and you could log in with your forum username and password, ive tried but it wont log me in :(
Is anyone else having this problem or am I just being really stupid? Or do you have to register again?
Cheers :)

[Niall]

That might just be a temporary problem. Wait a bit and if you're still having log in issues contact the official help email.

[Green Mamba]

You have to be joking me. The board is ok but the website...... :$

The previous website was a fine effort.

This one has the layout and design of a website student. You most me joking us. It is shocking.

[scifigeekgirl]

Wellwellwell so this is what someone's been working hard on for the past umpteen weeks/months/whatever...looks impressive altho have only stepped inside the front door just now. When I tried earlier, all I got was a flashing map - looked like it was having a fit! :eek:Didn't surprise me that the porr thing couldn't cope - c'mon, what did anybody expect? :rolleyes: Musers+countdown=completechaos! :LOL:

Will have to explore the new site (esp Eurasia thingy) later - otherwise will get no work done this pm and will be savaged by my slavemasters...:(

[thelastdisciple]

First post here ;)

Content in the media player seems to vary with volume pitching, some files are very very quiet, is it just me?

Using firefox latest version here.

I know there's going to be things that are broken and with tons of traffic still, it will take awhile to know what is broken because of other reasons.

Things are starting to fall into the right places it looks like though, not bad!

My account picture on the new site won't change to the actual profile page when i upload it in the edit page, it shows that it is successfully uploaded yet it is not on my page, only in the edit view..

Ah sorry if i made that sound redundant lol hopefully you understand what i mean.

Edit view vs. Page view

[Niall]

Welcome!

Which files are quiet? Post a list of any you've noticed and I might be able to sort them some time :) A lot of the bugs are just teething problems and will be sorted soon from wha I've heard.

New Born video, I know it has a bit of a quiet start to begin with but i have the volume notch on the player turned up and i usually never change my personal volume level, versus youtube its quiet that's for sure not to compare but example wise..

I'll continue (same idea)..

Showbiz - Perfectly fine except for the two videos Sunburns and Unintended.

OoS - I have to be honest and say most tracks video/audio alike are quite quiet except for Screenager (perfect!) and Futurism (perfect again!)

BH&R - Supermassive Black Hole [video]

Haarp looks to be fine, Hullabaloo too

Absolution - Time is Running Out [video], Sing for Absolution [vid], Stockholm Syndrome [vid], Hysteria [vid], Butterflies and Hurriances [vid]

This is all i have checked out for now.

[Natalia]

This will take a couple of days to get used to, but aside from that, -- I likes the new site lots! lol

[LifeOfSydonia]

The new site is not as ''goodlooking'' as the old one, but still.. it's awesome! :)

Yeah I noticed the New Born video was quiet last night. Hmmm. Not sure why but I'll see if I can up the volume. OoS...Yeah, the whole lot is quieter than the other album. No reason for Screenager to be any different though. I dunno why since they were all done the same way. I'll redo the audio at some point on those. Might be able to boost the audio on the quiet videos.

Not really a problem when one whole album or DVD is a bit quieter I guess but if it's varying between tracks it needs sorting.

[Miles Prower]

Looking back on the old site, it was so simple compared to what is all offered on it now:LOL: I think it was a good idea to update it, it'll just take time to get used to it.

So Niall....there are a lot of references to .mu teaming up with MuseWiki! Are you happy;)

[NUCLEaR727]

The new site is a lot easier to use and better content-filled than the old one.
I always preferred CMS type sites over full flash thingys.

[Turing Machinehead]

Hey, the new site is awesome! Big thumbs up to everyone who put it together. Looks like a lot of hard work went into it (web developer myself so gives me a headache just thinking about it). Bloody great job. I like it a lot! :):):)

I was when we started. Later turned to stress :LOL: but that's probably nothing compared to management!

People keep abusing the "Report Comment" link. All the reports so far have been for good comments =/

If you;ve been reporting these comments for no reason, STOP IT NOW.

[NUCLEaR727]

http://bacolicio.us/http://muse.mu

Now my life is complete.

[Kuutar]

I like it:happy:.
Nice skin too:)

[garseys]

New site is better laid out than the old flash based one and the integration with Musewiki= :awesome:

[Liz0_o]

:erm:
i dont know how to feel about this

[Liz0_o]

oh fuck theres so many new n00bs

ahhh!!!!!
bertha dosnt like this

[beeSides]

just starting to really explore what's available. the media player is :awesome:

so is the members function with all the venue information on upcoming shows we've bought tickets for.

some really slick stuff!

sorry for any early morning bitching :p

ok...gonna keep playing around with stuff :awesome:

[QueenOfNerds]

I quite like the new skin. Good work y'all

[lalalive]

There's something really engaging about the map as the background. It feels...classy? I don't know if that's the word but it's in the same ballpark.

[datastorm]

The link CSS should fixed from default blue, also some fonts look ugly.

Seems like this was rushed.

However, I like the backgrounds and the graphics

GO MUSE!

[agntexas]

I agree the map background does make it look more fancy! :awesome:
I haven't seen everything yet, but I like what I see. MUSE ROCKS!:musesign:

[nendo]

in all honestly i don't like it. I can see there going for the in thing atm which is css design.

but tbh atm it just looks like myspace layout which i personaly don't like. In time i will probably get used to it but atm i don't like it. spesh with the css errors. mis alignment and wrong sized images. looks abit amaturish and rushed tbh

[Moriah]

New site is shit.

JS.

Makes text really hard to read too. I suggest making everything less transparent and changing the font color from blue...

Edit: The media player/disc. is the only thing I really like atm.

[hystericali]

I like it :happy:

[Lizzie_loves_Muse]

and i like it very much :D

[Rebecca]

Like it too :)

[Qúentin Räikkönen]

I like the new look! Thanx, guise! :happy:

[MuseMegz]

New websites awesome!!! I came on early thinking that more Muse tickets might come out today at 9:00, because 14th July was supposed to be the date of tickets coming out. Then tried to get onto website and this massive countdown was there! So we thought that the countdown was for the tickets :LOL:. The page kinda threw a fit when the countdown finished, too many muse fans on at once.
So yeah cheers for the new website Muse ;).

( And no more tickets came out just to let you know :( , lol)

[petraenmylou]

Did an migthy fine job on the new site,looks realy nice!
Had to work all day,and could'nt wait for the clock to go to six a clock so i coul'd finaly go home and check it out hahaha

[Alise in the Wonderland]

Hi, and thanks to everyone who was working on the new version - well done!!:)

[Davy]

After having a good browse, its actually very good.
The tour archive now means I don't have to go to Micro Cuts :awesome:

[Popelady]

The whole site or just the media player?

All the media files are up in mp4...it was...tedious...

the previous site wouldnt work for mine either
i havnt tried with this one though
:erm:

[Furygirl]

The map thing is really cool! There are 9 members in my city! Wish I knew 'em...

[Popelady]

The map thing is really cool! There's 9 members in my city! Wish I knew 'em...

ha im all alone.

[nirajp]

Thank you to everyone involved in this. I've always disliked flash layout sites so the HAARP/Absolution ones pissed me off (though they were vaguely cool in their own way). Simple sites FTW.

Also, putting every song and video (including 2 DVDs !) up for streaming is much appreciated :D

[beeSides]

every new site is gonna have some wee buggies. they will sort them out...have some patience.

if you don't like the skin you can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. it's on the left bottom corner of the page. says " -- mu. v 3" click your drop down arrow and pick a skin you like better and stop your bitching :p

:D

[petronia]

Very nice work! Congrats. I went back to the old skin, 'cause it's easier to read, but otherwise the whole experience is great. :) Thanks to all those involved in this.

[Furygirl]

:D

Oh jeez. What a freakin' n00b I am. I had no idea about the skins. I remember when I signed up, I found the black background difficult, and I looked all up in the settings and profile stuff trying to find a way to change it. And it was so obvious all along! Serious :facepalm: Even though I'm totally used to the black by now, I think I'll have a go with the OoS theme for a while. Thanks! (But I wasn't bitching...) :)

[vampiresquirrel]

I think i like it...not sure, am a bit confused on some things, but as a whole, it's very nice-looking! Just need to spend some time strolling around the site. Good job!!:musesign:

[beeSides]

actually...it's not that obvious...there's nothing down there *points* that says "skins" on it --but considering that most sites have multiple skins all anyone would have to do is ask. :yesey:

Even though I'm totally used to the black by now, I think I'll have a go with the OoS theme for a while. Thanks! (But I wasn't bitching...) :)
you weren't bitching...but others :shifty:

:chuckle:

i like the new skin...but hey...can't make everybody happy, that's why there are options :D

[starlight_lucy]

I waited till like 2 minutes ago when i got the email saying about the new site :P

I like it so i do ;)

[*OoS*]

Is there a way of staying logged in permanently, a Remember Me feature?

Also, I uploaded a profile picture which works but then when I view my profile it just shows the Muse logo. Has this bug been fixed yet?

[the aurora]

I like how I can't sign in. :indiff: Says my email isn't valid. Of COURSE it is.

[Mozza]

I like how I can't sign in. :indiff: Says my email isn't valid. Of COURSE it is.

I don't exist apparently! :LOL:

[the aurora]

I don't exist apparently! :LOL:
I don't, either! lol It's stupid cause I had my password sent to my email last night and I did receive it.

[Mozza]

I don't, either! lol It's stupid cause I had my password sent to my email last night and I did receive it.

Your username should work

When I joined the board I had a different email address

if you are trying to log in for the treasure hunt you actually have to register...even if you are already a member of the boards.

so yeah...it's being treated as a seperate thingy...for some reason *shrug*

[Niall]

Email help :)

[dead-duck]

if you are trying to log in for the treasure hunt you actually have to register...even if you are already a member of the boards.

Probably to sorta purge the list, so they can know how many people are involved? Otherwise they'd have someone who registered with the site once in 2006 but never came back on their list :)

[Niall]

It's because the advancement of the treasure hunt depends on the number of people signed up. It won't carry on until there are enough people participating.

[dead-duck]

Yeah, thats what I was thinking, make us register for the hunt so they can keep track of the numbers... hopefully it'll start soon :awesome:

[CarrieB]

I'm enjoying the new site. Have been watching the "making of videos"! :D Don't know whether they were there before but I haven't even seen all the videos let alone the making of videos, :D Must look out for those!:D

[the aurora]

Other people are apparently able to use the same email or username. Way too confused.

[beeSides]

Other people are apparently able to use the same email or username. Way too confused.


sweetie :kiss: you can use your same email and user name...but for the treasure hunt you have to register using your email and user name. you have to register period. you can't just sign in like you do here.

does that make sense?? :)

*wants to help* :awesome:

I'm getting mixed up with the hunt and actual site. Oh well, I still can't login cause it gave me a bum password. Kev already notified people.

[beeSides]

I'm getting mixed up with the hunt and actual site. Oh well, I still can't login cause it gave me a bum password. Kev already notified people.

ooh...sorry...i just registered on the treasure hunt and the members function with the same username and password...to be consistent.

hope it all works out for you :happy:


you're right it is confusing...i was able to log into the forums just fine, but had to register on the members function and the treasure hunt for each of those things. board registration seemed to carry over...

[dead-duck]

I'm getting mixed up with the hunt and actual site. Oh well, I still can't login cause it gave me a bum password. Kev already notified people.
awww so you can't log in anywhere but here? :( Hope it gets sorted soon! :D

I didn't have any problem with the forum, and was able to use my forum info for the main page. I wasn't sure what to put for the ununified site, so I put a different name with the same email and I thought the same password, but apparently I changed it by 1 character :facepalm: :LOL:

At least they know there's a problem, so hopefully they can figure it out and get it sorted for you soon :yesey:

im annoyed that my city isn't in the list..... there isn't one even close :mad:

http://bacolicio.us/http://muse.mu

Now my life is complete.

That's awesome! I am going to have to use that. Imagine sending that to a client.

“Here's how your new site looks. What do you think? I think the bacon adds a special something...” :D

in all honestly i don't like it. I can see there going for the in thing atm which is css design. but tbh atm it just looks like myspace layout which i personaly don't like. spesh with the css errors. mis alignment and wrong sized images. looks abit amaturish and rushed tbh

Sorry what?! CSS design is the new in thing? Do the W3C and people who have been styling pages with CSS for the past 10 years know they've been ahead of themselves all this time? What exactly is this new CSS design thing? :stunned:

I don't like myspace either. I would agree that the default pages in myspace look amateurish but this is miles off!

[gwezza]

My eyes, my eyeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz...*explodes*

[*OoS*]

The email said all our stuff from our .mu forum profiles are all available, but I see no way of importing all the pictures, comments. There appears to be no links between the .mu site member profile and the board profile... is there going to be a mass importation or will they still appear to be separate?

[nendo]

Its just a style of web design being produced. I know css has been around for a few number of years. but theres a growing trend atm. At one stage it was near enough all professional looking sites and flash etc. But it seems to of gone back to the more basic layoutand get the nicest looking creative site just by using css.

take some of these galleries for examples
www.cssremix.com
www.cssenvy.com
www.css-design-yorkshire.com

[Contrad!ction.]

I like the forum skin but it needs a higher opacity really.

Site looks cool but I miss the flash.

[Frenchfrog]

I preferred the previous one, it was easy to find what you were looking for. It seems like a mess to me now ! Couldn't you let the two sites available... the fans are the kings, aren't they ? ;-)

[Niall]

Can I just ask, are some of youn reporting comments for fun? I've received over 2000 reported comments emails today alone and most of them are absolutely fine.

[Moriah]

every new site is gonna have some wee buggies. they will sort them out...have some patience.

I wasn't talking about the forum skin, mine is set to 'Stars' anyway. I was talking about the actual site. :)

[datastorm]

I'm starting to wonder why is everything in CAPS ON THE http://ununitedeurasia.muse.mu/ PAGE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ ALL THAT.

I understand that it supposed to feel all mysterious and stuff but come on ....

Those sites are great examples of what you can do with CSS and latest Javascript frameworks. And I think muse.mu needs more design work later on to actually create a good layout and a user interface, right now its just a header with dynamic blocks. Does anyone know who made this new site?

[scifigeekgirl]

OoooOOOoooh new backdrops for each area = niiiice :D

[hystericali]

OoooOOOoooh new backdrops for each area = niiiice :D
