I must add my approval and appreciation for the Ceefax doodah on the homepage. Lovely. *claps*

Fourthed.

ModeSeven as a webfont: I approve! (not forgetting its antialiased cousin ModeNine)

I was almost tempted to switch the site's default font to it for the whole day yesterday but just stuck with the homepage change in the end! And the countdown is very much now on for tomorrow night...

Third Edit: I've decided to PM them to Asa to prevent any minors being offended by words they can't possibly have heard.


Yeah, and some of those words made me blush! Embarassed There isn't a separate filter list - the words show up in your PM on the old site so I think they've just not been added full stop. I'll get around to adding them although I don't think any member who tries to use some of them will get very far on the forum to be honest.

The overnights game has disappeared for me, or am I just being dumb?

There has not been one since the first episode of Red Dwarf (which I got spot on Smile )

Presumably Asa hasn't set up any shows to rate for this or future weeks.

Grrr. For a site with a load of abbreviations, why is the minimum search term 4 characters?!

UTV, ITV, STV, BBC, Sky...

A lot of members using the old TV Forum have been getting confused over the Twitter shortcode not rendering correct URLs for them. On Neon, the shortcode transforms into a nice embedded tweet.

As a Neon user, this isn't a problem - however, for the non-Neon users, it's a problem. I was wondering how long (in approximate terms) it would be until the switch is made? If it's not too long, hopefully the users of the old forum can put up with it for a bit longer.

Or re-write the code so it shows as http://twitter.com/blahblahblah for those of us comfortable in our old pair of slippers.

Incidentally, as soon as Neon becomes the norm, I'm outta here. Something to look forward to eh.

I don't understand why some people are so against Neon. Admittedly when it first launched I took one look at it and retreated to the old version. Then after another month or two I decided to have another go adjusting to Neon. The second time around I found it much more appealing and I've stuck with it since. I was quite surprised at just how quickly I adjusted to it; it's really not that different to the original version. There are just a few more bells and whistles which can be easily ignored if you so wish. Fundamentally it's the same as it's always been - and better in many respects. And I should know... I've visited daily since its very first day in 2001 and have seen all the incarnations of TV Forum over the years. This is by far my favourite.
