With the premiere of American Idol’s eighth season bringing us a new judge and other show changes — more about that here — AmericanIdol.com is also excited to bring you an all-new look. We’ve streamlined the site, reduced text and introduced bold new visuals to enhance usability and increase the sense of fun!  Here’s a brief summary of what’s new.

Utility Bar Featuring Search and Community

For the first time, the site features a utility bar with integrated site and community search as well as a MyIdol community log-in module. The utility bar stays put at the top of the page, so it is easily accessible no matter where you are on the site.

Richer Site Navigation
You’ll find the text-heavy navigation menus have been replaced with simpler and more visual submenus featuring highlights of each section.  The new Phase Menu in the left-most position, just below the Amerian Idol logo, will take you the most recent and relevant content of the moment!

Home Page Video
Near the top of our page is an all-new video player, which allows you to watch multiple clips – in full screen, if you like – directly from the home page.

Photos
Our wildly popular Photos section  has gotten a full makeover and provides multiple ways to enjoy the most recent and popular images. Once you click into an album, you can explore it using the thumbnail slider, click through image by image, or sit back and enjoy a slideshow.  We, of course, kept the must-have commenting feature and have made sure it is easy to discover related content you might find interesting.

Videos
The highly-visited Videos section features an all-new player with full-screen and continuous playback options, as well as an informative display of related content at the end of each video.

MyIdol Community
The #1 Idol Fan community online has a fresh look, and brand-new features in addition to all the ones you’ve come to love.  Enhancements include the ability to display status updates, to create and join groups, and to be able to share your favorite features (videos, photos, news items) with a click of a button[what exactly do you mean here? How is this new?].  Well, the fb and my chiclets are out of the share this box.

Coming Soon
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be rolling out all-new contestants, downloads, mobile and style sections and will be reintroducing an improved casual games center. We’ve got a lot in store for you this season and we’re thrilled to have you back to share your voice!

FOX and the producers of “American Idol” have received information about a mail fraud scam using sweepstakes award letters printed on what appears to be “American Idol” letterhead and allegedly signed by creator and executive producer, Simon Fuller. The letter notifies recipients that they have been selected as a winner of a sum of money and contains fraudulent checks and a phone number to call to claim the fake “prize” checks.

FOX, the producers of “American Idol,” and their subsidiary companies, do not sponsor or support any lottery, sweepstakes or prize contest that resembles the letter referred to above. The producers of “American Idol” are investigating this mail fraud in conjunction with local and national law enforcement agencies. If you receive a letter like this, please report it to the United States Postal Inspection Service at:
