Can anyone explan one thing:

* http://tvlivewiki.co.uk/index.php?title=File:ITV2_logo_200.svg you cant view it there but click on the pic

* http://tvlivewiki.co.uk/images/2/22/ITV2_logo_200.svg and its turns up?


In the first link, the web server is trying to convert the SVG file into a PNG to display it, but can't because it doesn't have the required files & set up.

In the second, your browser is downloading the actual SVG file and displaying it.

The reason the first link tries to convert the SVG file is because there are lots of browsers with incomplete SVG support, meaning the images aren't displayed properly. Virtually all browsers can display a PNG file though.

In the end it comes down to vector vs raster image formats.

Why does the wiki use version 1.16.4 when the current is 1.19.1?

Also is the FTP access still on other, I'll have a try.

That's what we're trying to look into at the moment. Like I've just said, I need a rest after a hectic weekend, so I'll continue looking into it when I finish work tomorrow.

Should you ever need to write a screenplay, you should base it on your hectic life of work and running a wiki. It'll be critically acclaimed.

Some have come over, some were created from stretch. If you look at news etc and itv pages there are improved. Some pages don't need changing from wiki since I helped improve them. The other 25% of wiki pages do need chanted but we need time and knowledge to improve them.

We do suggest user take wiki pages as a starting point but expect them to improve it. I did that with Disney xd and bommerang pages/ work still in progress. Since the cash were still trying to make improvements, that's part of the reason why bbc local news pages are not back. There were never good to start with from wiki.

Why not join and help out.

I think I'm right in saying it is so that every article has a start - however bare-bones it might be.

One of the sticking points is the missing BBC local news pages, Problem was first time around there were not good to start with and wiki no better. Does anyone here have detail knowlage about any of the local BBC news service which could help improve it?

Also what is the best way to introduce CA pages?

The problem still exists..........

Also, when you see TV Live homepage recently, you would found out TV Live Wiki's Twitter content is empty.

Why is that a problem? It's just I've not updated the Twitter page for the wiki lately.

I've not forgotten about this place Wink it just my main place for details Guardian online went tits up, so I not have decent place for research, but Now The time online has appeared, so I just have to get back in to the swing of things, which is not easy.

There are a number of issues still needing to be resolved and a number of pages still need to be created
