It's a good idea. I'm not sure how successful it is in it's current form - I find it a bit confusing. I wonder what a newbie will make of it. I think the headings and layout need more clarity.

Also not sure about five links to Ask convos being promoted as 'chat'.

"Only some problems on [Broken link removed by Moderator] following threads is not usefull.

Using 'Betsy' or 'Lynx' (text only versions of the site) is quite confusing, you really have to know how the links are ordered in the more graphical environments. "

The page that the above links to is horrid. I wouldn't understand it.

I really like the front page but I think there might be a bit too much information. I think I'd order it as the whole of the top being the three new entries, then the next section being divided into one or two old entries, and then Talking Point and one or two other chats in the next section.

"It is not the most gracefull view of the frontpage, I must admit.

It happens I use a text only browser on DOS and other low capacity systems and the PDA skin is the latest. (And already forgotten.) "

I found the Front Page a bit confusing yesterday, it wasn't clear which were the new Entries, is much clearer today. smiley - magic

I like the 'On This Day in History:' (but according to h2g2 calendar (A3386928) Jack the Ripper is from 8 Sept not 7 Sept) I'd like to see a link for the Calendar on the FP more often.

Looking at this week on the calendar, it was the first week two sci-fi programmes were first shown on TV: Star Trek - 8 sept 1966 and The X Files - 10 Sept 1993 Maybe some sci-fi Edited Entires could be promoted over the weekend. smiley - erm
