Your site is coming along nicely. Smile

A few points:

- If you click "BBC" or "About" in the top menu they bring up 404 errors instead of pages.

- If you click "ITV" in the top menu it brings up a "Your domain is pointing to Yola!" error page.

- Whenever you click most of those top level links in the top menu they load in a new window - would probably look better if they loaded up in the same window.

Thanks for you comments Paul. On the topic of the 404 link issues for BBC, about and so on, I am aware of them and aiming to fix the problem. I believe one points to the wrong URL altogether, and the other adds the main URL and does some bizarre link. I'm aiming to rectify these issues later on today.

As for links opening new tabs, it wasn't something I'd noticed, but looking now it is the case, and thanks for pointing it out. It should just be a quick alter to how the HTML reacts to clicking the links, and again it should be fixed later today.

Recently updated are some detailed descriptions for some of the channels in the 'Other' section, along with, if I haven't already mentioned it here, a look at TV News, and in the last half hour, an expansion of the BBC One Themed ident collection, although with only three captures for each. The should be rectified soon.

A little look at what's to come tomorrow:

Presentation from Al Jazeera English
Presentation from the BBC News at One
An expansion to the Russia Today page
An update to some out of date HTML that effects the menus, along with fixing some issues with it

And looking ahead for the next few weeks, presentation from Dave, Yesterday and Home, along with the current look of FIVE, before it rebrands.

Also, TVPres.UK is looking for various bits of presentation. If you can help in terms of the current era of STV and UTV, drop me a line and I'll be sure to get back to you. tvpres.uk@live.co.uk

Looks good.

Your top menu still isn't working properly though.

The "BBC" link in it is still broken and some still load in new windows.

Thanks again Paul, I thought I'd fixed the problem, but apparently not. It looks like there's some unnecessary coding in there, which should be remedied... now.

Also on TVPres.UK:

Presentation from Al Jazeera English is now available at your viewing pleasure.
And a slight menu rebuild, in terms that all links are fixed and don't open in new windows like they did before, as referenced above, and due to the expanding content in the 'Other' section, the menu for it is now classified by genre. And Channel Five makes a menu appearance, with the launch of the section soon.

So, more updates, which include the revamp of the News and Entertainment sections in the 'Other' category from the menu. Take a look at the News Channel section here: http://bit.ly/g1UQty, and the Entertainment Channel section here: http://bit.ly/etU25d.

Also, a whirlwind tour of presentation from YeSTERDAY is now online, along with presentation from Dave, in more detail than YeSTERDAY.

Presentation from the new look Sky3 is now online at http://bit.ly/gXE1In. However, it's temporarily in 4:3 due to some technical issues. Will be fixed soon. Other Sky channel presentation soon.

Also, an initial look at Sky1 stuff, although the quality is degrading, due to my capture system not enjoying being put through it's paces.

For the first time some video content, hosted on YouTube, is coming online. Basically, just the video's that accompany the two Challenge ident's that captures are already online. Links for these videos will accompany the captures online.

So, over the weekend there should be some big changes.

At the moment, TVPres.UK is in disarray as I constantly get new ideas, which then only get implemented in part of the site. What will happen at the weekend should fix this.

Over this time, TVPres.UK should remain the same. There may be a few updates, but nothing big. This is due to the fact that TVPres.UK will be rebuilt over the weekend, so elements can remain consistent, the drop down menus can be dealt with and put to bed, and general neatening up can be done.

The end result should be something much cleaner, in terms of what you Browser's window name will be, instead of a URL, along with fixed graphical elements that I've mucked up.

Should also be major content updates on the launch of the new version, which will remain at the same URL. The new Sky stuff should finally be online, along with more Channel 5, and BBC Three, hopefully.

Content uploads on the current site:

An incredibly short look at Channel 5.
Presentation from FIVE News.
