one of the ACEs asked in the ACE forum on h2g2 about this introduction

and thanks for getting the digibox sign in working

I don't normally advise on editorial matters. If you want my opinion, the comment in question is not a problem, but it might be wiser to yikes it so that someone who has been dealing with this kind of thing all along can check it.
I'd glad sign-in is working. That was all the work of the SSO team - I can only ask them to look at the problem, I can't fix it myself, but it's good that they found the problem. Do things like 'Retrieve my details' work as well? Or is it just the sign-in page?
help please

it appears all SSO pages are now working with digiboxs
but .... and you knew there would be a but theres a few personal spaces DBs cant get to but I think, and we have a thread about this, its because of the amount of graphics and text on the spaces the digibox memory just cant handle them
the other thing that didnt help us digibox users was the fact that Telewest were updating ( and I use the word 'Updating' lightly) there interactive system and TV service at the same time as SSO started... Double Whammie
now we cant access draft mail folders on TV email but hootoo seems fine to me now thanks again shall we say for rattling some *chains*

There's not a lot we can do about PSs with too many pictures, unless we completely disable pictures in a skin, which wouldn't be popular with people, I suspect.
help please

didnt think there would be its just a digibox memory or lack of problem . I should have a pc soon and have access to a mac notebook at the moment
help please

Just a thought
Is it possible to generate a no / low graphics option in for instance the plain skin?
I raise that because the BBC news site has it as an option and it might be useful for access via handhelds / phones as well as digiboxes.
help please
Jim Lynn Posted Nov 19, 2003
It's possible, but as with all things it needs some time dedicated to it. I've been wanting a skin suitable for PDAs for a long time, but we've never had any opportunity to spend the time developing it.
