Hello to all!
I wonder if anyone has further information regarding www.bbcworld.com. The site has now been down for 24h or so, sometimes it wasn't accessible at all, then they had a page from 'BBC Worldwide Ltd.' saying 'they were doing maintainance work', and now only the frontpage is up, with almost no images and the links all broken...

What's going on?

I've just clicked on the link and there's nothing wrong what so ever! So maybe it's you who is experiencing the problems!

Hopefully its getting a much needed revamp cause the site has never really been updated since the flags era.

Welcome to the forum, Thorben! I think they've probably just had problems after doing to maintenance, I'm sure it'll be back up and running soon.

Yeah, seems to be working fine with me - apart from a few images not loading.

Are the links working for you, then?
For example, I want to see the schedules, but I get this:

'Logon Troubleshooter

I tried it and I get the same as you. The main news stories work, though. I shouldn't worry about it, they won't let it stay like this for long.

Just now accessed to BBC World.com, but
Front Page could Open, but
...http://www.bbcworld.com./content/home/home.asp

It opens Logon Troubleshooter...

Yep the site must be down!  All we're getting is the front page, none of the links are working!

I've just sent them an e-mail, telling them that the whole site is down. Just incase they don't know themselves!Smile
