Excellent! I've spotted this as well! Exactly my sentiments.
I keep going back to my original question of, "Why was it planned to shut down the old site before the new one was even proven!? Surely this can only serve to drive people away to other sites and mags?
This isn't Beta testing, this appears to be what comes before Beta; the developer actually trying to run it on his own bedroom server himself first!
I think DCMAG lost sight of this, there seems to be a lot of effort gone into the content - with loads of tuitorial videos etc - and advertising, yet the basic functionality isn't anywhere near complete or ready!
