Mine's still up, so maybe it's only certain domains where there's a problem, unless it's resolved now.

It's working for me, but it shows how long it's been since I was on there last - I had no idea they'd changed the layout.

It's working for me now. I think it must have been due to the layout change that they had to take it down temporarily for some of us. Panic over.

I was on there last night or the day before and it was the same as before. I'm thinking some of you are having trouble with the site loading because of the layout change. I think they may have changed servers as well because the icon on my tab is different. For those of you who cannot load the site still, here is what it looks like. I like how they have added songs to the player. They has Made Of Stone (Renholder Remix), My Heart Is Broken, Made Of Stone, The Other Side, What You Want, Together Again, Bring Me To Life, Call Me When You're Sober and Good Enough.

I'm irritated by how they used the font from the album cover in the website. It isn't really meant to be used on a web page. (isn't an issue on macs though, you jerks and your superior anti-aliasing lol jkjkjkjk)
Also something interesting. They put a ASCII art styled Windup Records logo in the source code of the website. (right click --> view source)

The biography page is a little messed up. There are a bunch of random question marks throughout the whole thing. The photos page is pretty cool though; it's got a nice variety

That's pretty awesome about the source code! Haha! I like it.
I'm going to move this to the General Evanescence section, sticky it and rename the title to "Evanescence.com: Discussion and Concerns". I've also merged the previously locked thread about the Band Merch store into this one.

Yeah the font might be cool if it wasn't so screwed up. Here's a screen from my Win 7 machine running the Google Chrome. It's not really readable to be honest. BTW for a long time I'm using a Czech web service which tells me when this certain website changes, it just sents me e-mail. This change on evanescence.com happened around 3:39 AM CEST (GMT+1). Which means 9:39 PM in New York. edit: forgot the picture click.

I haven't actually seen it on the Mac though but I'm assuming from experience. There is software out there that can smooth the fonts on Windows but it seemed kinda funky to me when I tried it. Might have been my personal taste though.

People should ensure accessibility on ALL platforms when they're developing a new website, damn.

It really looks normal - no cut off letters and stuff. Something that's bugging me is that the new photo section has already been seen by idiots who love putting watermarks and logos on everything they DON'T own and reuploading it. One less page to follow...

Osky: Oh! Okay! That's cool. I will definitely try this on my school Mac's on Wednesday then! Haha! rionka: That's cool that you get an email! In the source page text thing, it says this: "Served from: www.evanescence.com @ 2013-08-31 19:45:59 by W3 Total Cache -->" I'm not sure if this means when the website was changed or what that's even for! XD But that's cool that you get an emial and it said something about the change! OMG I said The Change! Haha! That's what the song is about! Now I get it!!! haha XD

AeternusAmatorius lol, The Change! unfortunately it was just "Page evanescence.com was changed" in the original e-mail. The W3 Total Cache may be related to that page update, it's some Wordpress module to reduce page load time and optimize the web behaviour to be faster using some compression and caching. There's someone definitely working on that website. And there's a question, why now?

I wonder why they changed it...I'd get it if the band was releasing a new album.But it's a nice layout.
