It appears the masthead has changed indeed. The MORE... link now opens on hover over, when clicking on the MORE... link (on the homepage) it takes you to bbc.co.uk/a-z/.

The MORE text has also changed:

*

The Olympic 2012 now also has a drop down and opens on hover over.

The MORE font seems to be the same as it was before for me - not ultra bold like above. London 2012 feature is useful but I don't like how clicking on MORE takes to to the A-Z.

Looks like Gill Sans Ultra Bold (EUGH!) to me. I'm guessing there's a dodgy CSS selector (or a browser bug) because I'm seeing it in normal Gill Sans here on both IE and Chrome.

There were fairly widespread style sheet errors covering diverse pages on the BBC Website last night, a bit like being back in IE3 days, with dodgy dial-up connections.

It appears the BBC are serving up a different style sheet for Opera browsers. The text is not bold in IE9 or Chrome.

Also I've noticed the Olympic 2012 link has disappeared from the News site.

At last a decently sized search box on the new masthead!
Does the 2012 link have to be so big?!

Some serious issues with the live video on the Sport live update tonight, tripping out regularly. Requiring a reload.

5 Live website, among others, has a beta version. Are these new?

I wonder why the Olympic link has disappeared from the News site but still exists on other BBC pages including weather and sport.

Strange that the Olympics link has disappeared from some pages.

Also note that you get a panel reveal if you hover over the Olympics link, as well as More.

Don't think this has already been mentioned....
iPlayer now has 'Live Restarts', enabling the rewinding of live streams. Pretty useful IMO
