Small bug with the yikes button. Posted Oct 19, 2011 by RadoxTheGreen - Retired This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 61 As an aside, it was mentioned (possibly on Noesis) that the new site wouldn't have links with DNA/h2g2/etc. anymore. I see the DNA part of the page address is still in the link. Is this a temporary measure, policy rethink, or was the original info wrong? Not that it matters, just wondered that's all.

Posted Oct 19, 2011 by RadoxTheGreen - Retired This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 67 Thought it might be something like that. It's just everyone seemed to be certain that we would be launching with shorter page URLs so I wondered why they were still showing DNA.

Posted Oct 19, 2011 by Pastey: In Bacchus We Trust This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 68 to be honest, i never thought we'd have shorter page urls. Not sure where that came from. Ah well. We will in the future though. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Announcements from the new h2g2! editors. Small bug with the yikes button.

What's the thinking behind a full rebuild? (That might be a silly question..but I've never been afraid to ask them). Subject: Announcements from the new h2g2! editors.

Posted Oct 19, 2011 by Pastey: In Bacchus We Trust This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 73 DNA is a massively complicated beast that stretches into areas we don't need. it's been designed and built in a way that isn't really suitable for the directions we want to take it. because of its intricatecies to change it how we plan wouldn't really be effective. there's things like editor tools within h2g2 itself, but moderation tools bolted on outside. we're looking at providing a singular platform written in one programming language that can provide the Guide across multiple technologies. i could go on for ages, but the kettle's boiled.
