Can we please please please go back to the usual BB format of the WHATM threads covering more then two hours?!?!?

By all means let's think about them if something important happens and the forum is at risk of crashing, but at least for the first week can we stick to the good old methods?

The way this is working now is that we have more threads than posts, people get confused and stay on the same thread hours after it has officially "expired" while the properly-timed one disappears on to page two because nobody uses it!!

Sorry. Rant over.

I agree with you. I popped into this Forum 15mins ago and was faced with multiple WHATM Threads.....if this format continues then, by the end of CBB, the forum will consist of nothing but WHATM Threads. It`s crazy.

I don`t think the Forum is in the same danger in crashing as it was during BB5........E4 isn`t providing coverage during the day (for non-digital viewers) and not everyone is interested in this lot of non-celebs.

The old format was much better and less confusing.

There is E4 NTL CABLE.

When they showed live coverage of BB5 they also showed it on E4 cable.........that attracted lots of people here who don`t have (or want) digital.

Ah right. I didn't know that. I still want NTL to get the red button in place though

Are you on analogue NTL? I'm on Digital NTL and have BB live at the mo, altho not as an interactive feed (shakes fist at NTL).

OH no you don't

Well not for BB anyway, we haven't had it for the last 5 BBs.

Altho it was good for the Olympics and Tennis.

I have digital at home but at the moment I`m babysitting for my friend and she has cable so no coverage.

I'm on NTL digital too but no interactive. Keep saying I'll change to Sky for BB but haven't done it yet.

Why can't NTL get the Red button thing working so we can get interactive?
