Apologies for the huge picture, but why on the BBC Beta Homepage am I getting adverts in German?

I shouldn't be - I'm connected via a BT HomeHub!

Also on the BBC website, this has just come up as the most read across the world...

Has BBC Three not changed it's clocks? As currently, coming up to 6pm, I'm being told they're live in 3 minutes, when their TV Guide shows programmes starting at 7pm, of course.

It's been in the Gen Election thread but not here, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/default.stm is the home of elections coverage on the BBC.

They've posted a blog asking for views on the new Doctor Who site. I decided to reply, It ended up a bit longer than I meant it to but hopefully they'll take the slightest bit of notice.

The beta home page is currently displaying a 503 error page...

I wonder if it means they're close to launching it?

PS - I like the fire behind the clown. Very Happy

Some changes to the Beta homepage:

- There's now a date/clock widget

- You can now have the Music widget in the right-hand column without it giving horizontal scroll bars along the bottom of the browser window (IE8)

It can't be too far away from launching now - it looks pretty-much done.

Glancing back at the BBC Internet blog entry on top level domains I thought I'd browse a few of the site listed. Interestingly I noticed on http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportsummit/ as well as the standard mothball header is a message on the page...

We've been doing some tidying up!

The page you are looking for has been swept off this website. You might be able to find some or all of it on the Internet Archive at

http://web.archive.org…/sportsummit

Or you can try using the search box up there to search the BBC.

...this is the first time I've come across such a message with a link to a version of the site stored on web.archive.org.

Edit: Another albeit rather broken version can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/rugbyacademy.

Still no blogs though!

I know it's in the pipeline for all the regions, but how long have London News, Wales Today, Newsline and Reporting Scotland been available to watch on BBC iPlayer?
