www.rcdb.com has updated the look of their site.

Do you like it better than the previous version?

I guess it is basically the same site. I don't really like the colours though.

Gotta go against you there my friend. The sites the same but lookind at the same site for last 2 years is making me sick it was just so dull lol. I couldnt really care if the changed it or not as it holds the same info. Oh well!

I dont mind it, better than the last one. Personaly i would have loved a dark blue and cream colour. Orange Black and White also tends to work well

I liked the simple look of it before. The color would look alot better if they had changed the look of the rest of the page, rather than the just top.

I like it but you should be able to change the skins of the site or something that would be neat.

I honestly like the layout, it gives it, kind of a "retro" look, if you will...

Did they have the google map function before, or is that something new? Propably just me that haven't noticed.

I like it, it's a lot more colorful than the old colors.

Go to some of the major parks in the US (SFGA, SFMM....) and you see a google map function. I don't think they have had that before.

Found on RC.be:

Nieuwigheden die je als bezoeker/gebruiker kan terugvinden:
- zoeken kan nu ook op gemeente, stad, provincie, land.
- locaties zijn ook vertaald, staat je taal ingesteld op Duits of Nederlands,
bvb. Deutschland ipv Duitsland of Germany.
- zoeken op iets algemeen zal je nu meerdere resultaten geven:
achtbanen, parken, steden met parken en parken in de buurt van een stad...
Of als er meerdere steden dezelfde naam hebben, zul je de parken nabij elke stad zien.
- bij het bekijken van foto's, kun je nu rechtstreeks terugkeren naar de parkpagina, ipv eerst naar de thumbnails te moeten.
- Google Maps en MSN Virtual Earth links toegevoegd.
- verder nog enkele grafische updates
- en Jean-Marc Toussaint maakte een logo.
De kleuren kunnen nog wijzigen...gelukkig.
Een mogelijk is om de bezoeker zelf een kleurencombinatie te laten kiezen (met een cookie).


Translation:

-You can now search for city, state or country
-Locations are translated too (Deutschland instead of Germany)
-Searching for general stuff will give more results
-At watching pictures, you can now directly return to the park instead of going to the thumbnails first
-Google Maps and Msn Virtual Earth links added
-Some graphic updates
-Logo is made by Jean-Marc Toussaint

Colors can be changed, maybe visitors can choose their own colorcombination later

I believe Jean-Marc Toussaintis the same man that makes the covers for First Drop magazine. Well I love his work. And the new site looks nice.
