... well the new site at least doesn't have any problems login in like the old one did (for me at least). I kinda miss the nice Regiment Badges too compared to the slightly bland "banner" underneath the name, but other than that I've the impression the stuff works smoother compared to the previous design.
It would seem the "upload file" doesn't have any type-filter-restrictions anymore like the previous site did, but it also seems that's the only way to include a picture or whatever from your own local machine, as the "image" button only allows URL-based coupling. Don't really like that though I understand the reasons behind it. A downside to this is what I see on so many Fora : you get this really interesting article "showing" you how to do X or where to be careful about Y, but the images are replaced by large "X"'s as the validity of the URL was lost years ago.
Overall, I do share StayFrosty's notion about the somewhat bland look of this site now. Not sure if it fits into the "we want to have a more serious profile" politics 405th is going for, a restriction of the used platform or if this is just the first page of the new chapter and we'll see some new-old-refurbished stuff returning after some time.
Never liked the pretty harsh black/white layout though, it's less than friendly on the eyes, and it's like a lot of screen space is lost doing nothing at all. And I admit, i'll never be a fan of the urgency to go for a flat design. Personal taste and all that, but the more business-looking style kinda collides with the notion that in the end, we're here to have fun, no ? The old design stood out. It was unmistakable 405th. This design, atm, has the same "uniqueness" as grey cars have to me : they -all look the same-, they have 4 wheels and they drive you from point A to point B. Again personally, it feels like more was lost than there was gained. Yes yes I know Microsoft and Apple have been pushing the same layout. Then again, a lot of people keep using Windows 7 because "it really looks better" (I agree in spite of begin a Win10/OSX user) so it's not because Redmond and Cuppertino say it's good that it really is good.
Anyway : those that were responsible for this change : I appreciate the job and I hope you'll have some new stuff for us in store too.
