    It's definitely a step up...can't wait for them to roll it out for the classic series...

    btw...who said it would happen at midnight? You have a virtual cigar :-)

    Much better, although it looks like each episode will have the same uniform look now. I quite liked the theme changing each week

    Are they changing servers? where does it say that?
    No, I didn't say that. You misunderstand - a server change - a change to a server (config, contents etc).
    Plus these change control procedures what do you mean by them?
    Most companies will have a set of agreed procedures that must be followed in order to sanction the release of software or hardware changes. They normally compose of sign-off discussions which ensure that the relevant testing has been carried out, that the risks to any release are known, and that adequate procedures are in place to back out of any change.

    I take back some of my earlier comments - obviously they did have staff to do this (unless it is outsourced?)

    Saw it this morning and not as keen. It feels a bit more restricted.

    Not only does the classic series seem to have been banished, but so do series 1-3 :eek:

    Plus I don't like the font and general design which looks a bit old-fashioned, though I appreciate the format is more suited to varied content.

    I really like it - and don't forget it will evolve as the series progresses

    Changing the look of a site has nothing to do with the server or config. It's just a case of replacing a few HTML, CS, JS and .SWF files.

    I expect that was the number one driving force behind the change.

    Yes and my job is largely to check whether the guys in my company are following those procedures.

    Let me tell you, if they cut some corners and gave me the excuse that some DS folk were getting a bit impatient, I'd beat the living fat out of them. :D

    There are different web site architectures. You're taking a very simplistic view there. This isn't a FaceBook page you know!
