Looks like quite a few broken links to fix there (all but the first page are failing from the main menu, and the clips are coming up with access denied at first; do they not like hotlinking at 100megs). Still, the sentiment is all good, so good on you for going to the effort to get it online. Smile

Oh bugger, and there was me thinking I'd sorted it all this time. I'm trying to move all ther clips over to the thisisfive server. They should be okay if you right click and save as as far as I can tell.

In the meantime I'll look into it.

EDIT: Actually I see what I did there with regards the menu, not saved a change and it buggered it all up. Tsk, should be sorted now.

Yes, I'm in the process of updating it into the new style, as can be seen here (video links don't work yet):

I've noticed that most of the site is coming back online now. But I have also noticed a few errors which are only minor:

1. On the front page, the Five US idents button still says "OFFLINE" but is actually now online.
2. On the Christmas 1997 & 1998 page the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ident's description's are from the Christmas 2000 idents page.

Nothing much, just a few little things I noticed. Keep the work up!

Think you just need to force a refreash on that, the image no longer says offline, it did the same for me when I tested it. I'll look into the other thing now.

Also, the breakflashes are now online (as well as already pointed out the news section, fiveUS and five life).

Yes, I did that after I posted this and it worked. Sorry about that. Embarassed

Well Ashley, I have to say you have been putting a lot of work into the site. Oh, and thank you SO much for putting a "Home" link at the top. That was getting annoying having to type in the address again, seeing as the Back button only goes back so far...

Anyway, I was wondering why you have seperate pages for the breakbumpers for five US and five Life, when you already have a page full of bumpers?

Surely you could just have the link going "fivebumpers.html#life"? Or do you prefer having single pages?

Apart from that, I guess the only thing left now is the Children's presentation. Can't wait to see The Core again. Smile

Yep, been meaning to do that for a while but kept forgetting.

Yes, I've been debating this with myself, but just put it up like that for now, I may change it at a later date.

It's getting there, just trying to pull all the bits together as they're spread over a few computers and stuff. There's all the more recent stuff to get back up, NGA, shake! and the like too. Hopefully should be sorted out in the next couple of weeks, all ready for Sunday March 30th (the sites 5th birthday and Channel 5's 11th Birthday).

Very nice. A hell of a lot of content, no original Milkshake though, and no titles from when the core relaunched, but otherwise very good indeed.

EDIT: You've also missed the hilarious Milkshake titles on TV Ark, I was in hysterics just looking at the one who replaced Kemi and her little motion compared to all the others, especially on the form up at the end.

EDIT 2: Also forgot about NGA. Even though it was out of vision, I thought that the package was designed perfectly. It was aimed at the target audience excellently, but it took the position of the logo, and seemlessly flowed between idents and menu's with it.
If out of vision is to be done, this is how it should be achieved.
