Others have already commented on Adobe.com‘s new look. It’s clean. The menus are intuitive. Downloads are all listed in one place. Shortcut URLs (try http://www.adobe.com/coldfusion for example). Products listed on the homepage is great. And there’s more …
But the best part of the new site? It’s powered by ColdFusion, of course!

Just a hunch, but the new adobe.com looks like an old retrofitted macromedia.com. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s taking load very well as I can’t get there after many repeated attempts.
Brendan: I’d imagine the URL you posted above is one of the many areas from the old macromedia.com which is implemented in Mach-II. -
Their site is still very slow & timing out a majority of the time. I’m guessing there are some very, very busy folks at Adobe today. I miss my CF forums!!!!
-
Yes, about a quarter of the 50-ish ColdFusion applications on adobe.com are powered-by-Mach II (just as was the case with macromedia.com before the integration of the two sites).
Ross, not sure what you mean about the CF forums – they’re still there just as they were before the integration, still powered-by-ColdFusion, exactly as before.
Not sure why some of you are reporting timeouts / slowness – I’m not seeing that on the URLs I’m visiting. Could you be more precise about where / when you are seeing problems? -
Love the clean look, but I noticed yesterday that the site is very slow and pages timeout more than 50% of the time (especially the forums).
-
They really should fix the TITLE tags . . . the title for the shortcut URl still has "Macromedia" in it.

index.cfm?event=displayStoreSelector
found a URL that looks familiar, does it use any framework? -
I noticed the slow down/time outs beginning the same night that the site changes were implemented (2 nights ago?). I just got another timeout on this page:

I’m seeing this across all forums (or, I should say, teh CF forums and job opps., the two I visit most often…) -
Ross, were you seeing timeouts on the forums before the integration? Nothing much has really changed with the forums (and I have heard reports of timeout problems on and off for a long time with the forums – the only third-party application running on the "Dylan" system).

I’m trying to access the adobe.com site now and I am unable to get to it. Same as yesterday when I was trying to look up some verity information. All i’d get was a timeout. I’m not sure how much this is going to help but I figured I should let you know that it isn’t just the forums.

I’ve heard a couple of people report timeouts from http://adobe.com but success with http://www.adobe.com – I’m reporting issues to Web Team as they arise from the community.

Support

looks like it works just fine in IE.
the bottoms of ALL of the containers line
up at the bottom, in FF, but in IE the right
one "Customer Success" is not as tall as the
one directly to its left. thats all…
anyway, GREAT mouseover change of color/highlight
on links. good stuff.
