Pep Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 When did this happen? guess they figured they needed to catch up and revamp, i like it a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Huh, I hadn't been by in a bit so I hadn't known they revamped it either. I like the look of it and the functionality seems improved to me. The previous incarnation of the site was like that as far back as I can recall with minor tweaks and modifications.

Holeshot Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I don't deal well with change to familiar websites, so it's going to take some getting used to. They definitely added some functionality, but the new look is going to take some getting used to. They need to bump up the size of thumbnails, and give you the option to sort search results by scale--it didn't seem like they gave you that option anymore. I do like that they give you the option of showing various numbers of results per page, that's a plus. Curtis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went to the contact info and it simply has text that says "This is contact information" which screams web page place holder to me.Hopefully they add the scale to the search functionality as I would think most modelers are looking scale specific in their searches.

arc01 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Oh great, now Squadron's website looks just like any other website out there. Way to go, squadron! There are some buttons that look like left over Domino's pizza boxes, I guess these are the "NEXT" buttons, how can anyone tell since it doesn't say actually "next". Fail.

nerdling Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Personally I like the old look myself. It seemed to work better with the different search options and the ability to sort by scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camaroz06 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This website is much better than the old one. The old one reminded me of AOL and dialup. It was very dated. Only thing off the top of my head they should add is maybe a scale search criteria. Otherwise that older site was way past its prime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomcatFanatic123 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sweet! I actually kinda like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) So, it REALLY needs a "Search by Scale". Yes, one can "Choose a sub-category", and "KITS" or "ACCESSORIES" but then you're forced to also select "JETS - 1/48 SCALE" and "PROP - 1/48 SCALE" and "ROTOR WING - 1/48 SCALE" and and and.

Julien (UK) Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A very good site now, used to be so clunky. Good service as well, got a small postage refund on my last order which was nice. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
