Love the new name & the new web site...

Moving on is always a good thing.

I AM curious to any reactions you may have to Apple's WWDC announcement about Home Automation.... Frankly, I LOVE Apple, but can't think of any single thing I'd change about Indigo, so short of some major "parting of water" feature, keys to nukes, or-tele transportation ability, I don't see how or why I would leave Indigo Domotics for whatever Apple may have to offer.. Those feature will be in V7, right ? :mrgreen:

PLEASE keep up the GREAT work, Jay & Matt. :lol: ... ALL of us appreciate it! 8)

Couldn't agree more... Great new name and site just as the Apple community is paying a bit more attention to domotics thanks to the HomeKit (http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?t=12055&p=80669#p80669) announcement! Keep up the incredible work Matt & Jay! 8)

Odd - not sure why your posts are being displayed as alerts. Guess I have another bug to look at. :P

[EDIT] The theme we used as the starter for our skin apparently wraps new posts in an alert - so you can tell it's new I suppose. Not a bug... :lol:

The timing was completely coincidental. We've been trying to get this done for months (literally) and have just now gotten everything done(ish).

Re: Love the new name & the new web site...

I also like the new name and website on the whole.

One point I'm not so keen on on the homepage - which might just be me - is the 'Expandable' image; it looks very much like a Google Ad, which in turn demotes your excellent website from a good product site to one of the thousands of news/blog pages which are littered with google ad's, facebook links, trackbacks. If I'm looking for say a new piece of software, I look for good product sites to backup the development of that companies products; sites which are thrown together with cheap website builders and Google Ads for revenue point to a not-so-flourishing company?

On the forum front, have you considered implementing the Tapatalk plugin for phpBB so iOS Tapatalk users can follow the forum and their threads?

Re: Love the new name & the new web site...

I can see how being hit with a bit "Save Money" slide can look like ad from an ad network. We'll consider how we might re-word the initial slide and/or include Indigo specific references to provide a better visual clues that the slides are talking about Indigo.

Thanks for the feedback.

I like the "ego" :wink: naming of your own posts.

As the guy who's primarily responsible for the new design and implementation, I can safely say that this site was most definitely not "thrown together with cheap website builders"... :roll:

Absolutely not - I was putting you in the FIRST bracket (good product sites to backup the development of that companies products) NOT the second! That's why I don't want your reputation tarnishing by what might appear to be Google Ads if you spend only 5 seconds looking before hitting the back button and finding the next search result.
