news.bbc.co.uk Homepage

Nice little beta feature that's appeared on news.bbc.co.uk so you can have your regional news and weather feed on the homepage too.

Beta is the word though as it thinks I live in Surrey and is currently telling me the weather "fore"cast for yesterday. Still s'pose it can't be proven wrong that way!!

I quite like the idea. It saves me having to go into my local news page everytime.

The weather problem isn't occuring here. A cache problem perhaps?

I think it would be better if you could add more things to it, but other than IMO its a great idea.

Erm, try the buttons at the bottom that say "add more news or sport"


Also, not worth it's own thread, but the "WATCH" icons for videos seem to have been given a glossy finish from today. Looks quite pleasing to the eye.

Further obvious changes today, with three new show/hide sections now in the centre of the screen for video and news programming, sitting above the local news beta.

This frees up the right hand side of the screen, allowing the quite good "most read/most emailed" list to be higher up the screen.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere. Nice new banner for BBC News online.

wrong forum?

Edit:
This post is no longer needed as the post has been moved to the right place as requested.

new header on the page today.

Having posted here for many years I know the ins and outs of this forum thank you. If the mods want to move this thread, they know I won't mind.

Quite like it myself. The rectangle BBC News logo is starting to be a more recognised brand which I like.

Like the new font.

It's too dark and red for my liking. Much preferred the orange globe.

Well as the orange globe hasn't been part of BBC News for ages now, it was hardly appropriate.


Still Verdana on my PC! Then again it is in work and so probably blocks new fonts!!
