all the pictures across the top (Dave, Bid TV, The Hits, etc) all link to the Ideal World page and not their own pages.


Oh ****... thanks for that!! Just doing the thumbnails at the moment, and having problems.

While I'm here, Thames is available in the ITV section.

New sections added today include BBC Three and ITV4. BBC Sport and ITV Sport have also been updated, and Thames Valley Today has been completely revamped with new images.

I've started refreshing all the images on the site with larger thumbnails. Pages will be updated over a short period of time, with Sky News, Five US, Dave, ITV News and Freeview pages the first to receive the new style.

I'm going to be setting up two new pages as well on the site. A Resources page with wallpapers, logos, fonts and so on. There is also a page called Articles, where you can send articles to the site concerning television issues. Contributors are welcome to add their own material by e-mailing tvlivesite@googlemail.com or sending me a PM either on here or through the TV Live Messageboard.

Thanks.

Rollercoaster is the latest Channel 4 ident to make an appearance on TV Live.

The process has also begun of revamping pages ahead of some big changes coming soon to TV Live. BBC Three, Tyne Tees and BBC One are the first pages to receive the refresh, and there are no more thumbnails on these pages.

Although bigger images are always nice, unless you can get higher quality sources for all the images, there's not much point making them bigger (Believe me, I've been there Razz). For the Tyne Tees section, some of them have clearly come from already heavily compressed clips, in which case blowing them up is just going to increase a blocky mess.

The new style picture pages are very much work in progress so we'll be working on possible solutions to that problem.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.
