Welcome to the new TV Forum!

Public plea ....

A further appeal to extend the window pre-archiving, the current policy is far too short.

6 months is pretty reasonable though isn't it? We wouldn't want people going through lots of pages before realising it was pretty old talk. Your instant pointer to the original topic was a nice link back.

As to last night, the image hosts were doing some maintenance. Hopefully most browsers will have fallen back on their cache for a couple of hours.

Would prefer 12 months plus, so that the whole discussion can be viewed in one hit. If there are server capacity issues fine, but if done in the interests of tidyness not.

Anyway have made my point.

It doesn't help you've named both threads the exact same title, very confusing when looking back through search.

Done so deliberately .... Couldn't find the original using the board's search anyway, had to use Google to locate.

Nice to see the Eurovision logo on the main page, although the link will always lead you to page 26. Will the real-time thread software be used tonight?

Wonder which image will be on the main page tomorrow: The Hump, or The Russian Grannies? Are we taking bets?

Why was the 'New Programme ideas' thread locked? Surely it hadn't come to it's natural conclusion. The thread starter said that he was going to a meeting with Talkback Thames on the same day that the thread was locked. He never got the chance to report back on how the meeting went and what they thought of the ideas posted.

I highly doubt the thread starter was genuine, and that he actually went and talked to TalkbackThames...

I doubt it too. We will never know now though. Even if the OP wasn't genuine, what harm was the thread doing?

Everyone was coming up with ridiculous ideas that don't really have a place here?

Yeah, apparently there was a slight locational mix up...
