Any news on when the new BBC homepage is launching?

January?


Beta page no longer working?

Yes it's still working - http://beta.bbc.co.uk/ - I was just curious when it was officially launching.

Oddly at work the beta site displays a blank page in Firefox, however loads fine in IE.


Doesn't work for me using Safari or Firefox. What's this IE of which you speak!!!?

I don't know how long this has been on the website:

A nice idea, but horribly executed IMO. Perhaps it would look a bit better if the daytime schedule was somehow collapsible so that the empty space in the BBC Three/Four columns could be hidden, and a lot of scrolling avoided.

I've never seen this feature used before when clicking URLs leading to external sites.

It's always been there but it doesn't appear (usually) when you click the link from a bbc.co.uk page, only an external one (eg TV Forum).

The EastEnders website looks much better

I think that might have launched at the end of November, but I'm not certain. There have been so many language site launches I've lost track. By my reckoning there is another 20 to go, so it looks like another busy year for the Future Media team at World Service.
