this is actually the new official forum of EotR.

There is - apparently - a new website for EotR too, but I've just tried it in a variety of browsers (some of which have never been to the EotR website before) and am still getting the old one.

Didn't know about new EOTR web site.

Have just used my short-cut linky in Firefox and yes new site has come up.

Nice one

[airwaves]

Oh and I see that when you click on Forum on the EOTR web site it brings you to here!!

[ljsawyer]

New site is awesome, and I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they've sneakily added Brakes and Shearwater to the line-up!

Oh, and Explosions In the Sky, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case and Steve Earle are the four names in bold on the front page, so I'm guessing we still have a second headliner to be announced as well as the Sunday headliner (based on the idea that Neko is playing under EITS and Steve under Fleet Foxes).

Cool!

I can't see the new site yet, sadly. But I'm looking forward to it.

[DragKnuckles]

For everyone that can't see the new website, it should be visible within 24hrs (just takes a little time for the internet to recognise the switch of servers).

All your feedback on the site is more than welcome, infact I might just well start a thread on that

Hmm, they were there. Maybe they're being saved for the announcement.

Inevitably I've checked this list off against the last.fm bill and apart from self-confirmations Papercuts and Howlin' Rain have disappeared.

Can i just say that the main page band names (bottom left in dark red) is an awful font that looks distorted and should be changed pronto!

With the new site going live there will be a few that have slipped through the net (or not been transferred from the database).

Check back tomorrow and I think all should be revealed

[DragKnuckles]

Thanks for the feedback.

The site uses CSS font stacks, which basically means it goes through a list of fonts until it finds one that is on your computer.

Are you viewing on a PC or Mac? Which browser/operating system? Do you just have the basic fonts installed?

[shoebox]

Having the same problem on Firefox, it has to be said. I'm at work though, with a terrible selection of fonts.

I.E. 6 at work looks messy as well, and is loading with errors. Could definitely be the work set-up though.

[DragKnuckles]

I am using Firefox 1.9.0.10 on PC. I have lots of lovely fonts installed...I tried refreshing the screen but no use...the text still looks awful...in explorer it does look better. I will have to have a play to see what I can do from my end...thanks.

[DragKnuckles]

Found an easy way of fixing this problem in Firefox:

- Go to TOOLS menu

- Go to OPTIONS sub menu

- Click on CONTENT header

- Click on ADVANCED button in Fonts and Colours box

- Un-tick the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..." option

Not sure how this will effect other sites but EOTR in Firefox is fine now

Haven't looked at the new website yet - but YAY for the new forum - well deserved

[angelheaded hipster]

I've only just seen this but had to add a 'yay' that EotR finally has its own forum! And it's official! Ace - should be a slightly less confusing run-up to the festival this year

[challengechappers]

really hoping to try EOTR this year (i enjoyed Glastonbury again but it's just too crowded and emphasis on the crayyyzeee for me nowadays).

i'd be travelling from brighton via the train, how do people find the shuttle bus experience? probably be arriving at salisbury at about 1pm. are there long queues?
