Transitions: Has anyone else noticed black and white 'flashing' transitions when navigating between pages on the official site? (this changed around the time updates started coming through).

Whether intentional or not, i used to check that page every day (much, i suspect, like everyone here) and i swear it didn't used to have those 'flashing' transitions... maybe they're easing in a colour scheme... could well be a B&W BOC moment(?!) :x

Yeah, it's been doing it for a while now. Think it was mentioned earlier? Not too sure why, but if they're working on something in the background, perhaps it's just running that tad slower, hence the 'flashes'. Mind you, I know less than web design than I do about book-binding so that could - in fact - all be a load of bollocks. :wink:

Here, Mexicola. You're going to have to do better than that!!!! You started this thread so you need to get some new stuff together for us to get excited about. I therefore second your application for a book-binding course at the local adult education college and look forward to you uploading video tutorials for same.

They certainly know how to make us wait, thats for sure!
Do you think they are going to unveil new artwork? Or is it all just some sort of teaser? Hmmm.....
Die hard BOC fan since 1998!

I'd suggest the next development will be a little 'coming soon' or maybe a rough date in that box. By the time we get to artwork unveiling I'd imagine the website would get a (long overdue) overhaul.

As with all things BOC, it'll happen at a tectonic-plate like pace.

i would love it if there was a new website with a bit more user interaction with the band. the atomless website for example. it'll be interesting to see just what the new release will sound like...i'm not quite sure what to expect. i had only just discovered BOC the time the campfire headphase had been released...since then, i've delved into their discography, and have currently climbed back out of it somewhat. i'm really hoping for a release before the end of the summer months...ideally in the vein of in a beautiful place, echus, flute frum thing...the thought of lying on the grass after a warm summers day, listening to some beautiful boc ambience...yeah, bliss.

Well then, from where I'm standing, it came out almost 2 weeks ago :x

(I couldn't help myself, self serving joke)

I know the new record is gonna hit me in the side of the head just when I least expect it.

Guys, I was just at the site and I was clicking around and suddenly I was able to move the whole discography and it all got supersized. This is probably nothing (cause I suck with computers). But it might be something to look into---unless we could always do that.
