Cool, a replacement for The TV Room +.



I wouldn't say it was a replacement for The TV Room + as the idea I've had is different to what you've linked to.

I'm hoping to get the new section up and running sometime tomorrow.

Yes your talking about a live blog which is a good idea. Reminds me of the live post feature TV Forum used to have where the page was automatically updated.

It still does have it, although only on special occasions (Eurovision).

Hmm I don't remember it being used for a long time but I might just not have been online when it was.

Was there a live chat here for Eurovision? Or was it only on Metropol?

Anyway, I've begun testing the live-blogging software out, and so far, all is working well for a 3rd September launch, so I'll post more information and details on where to find TV Live Extra nearer the time.

Over here had an automatically updating thread. We had a chatroom over the road. Obv ours was better as it had Woganbot.

ALL HAIL WOGANBOT.

Anyway, the new Extra site is almost ready to go... the site will be at http://www.tv-live.org.uk/extra - there's a holding page up at the moment.

Thanks Phil. The site has launched in testing mode. It'll enable me to iron out any kinks there may be ahead of Monday morning. Enjoy!

I'm delighted with the inital response to TV Live Extra. There is a slight problem with the plugin that powers the live blogging, which results in Twitter updates like this:



I'm trying to work out how to fix it though, and it should be fixed soon.

Thanks Ben, made sense really.

In other news, I will soon be setting up a TV Listings section, in a similar vein to what The TV Room + did. A sample page has been made and can be viewed here - and I hope to have a form set-up for users to send their own listings soon.
