Why do some people get away with having signatures that exceed the limits. I know someone has a Doctor Who signature which goes almost the entire length of the space, and so on - why is this allowed for some people?

As the signature limits are merely guidelines, not rules, users with long sigs are merely paying tribute to the BBC Branding Guidelines and their ruthless enforcement.

They are rules. Try reading the rules you naughty boy.

Arg, maybe it's just me being in a bad mood, but the words "stale" and "fresh" are so overused on TV Forum.

Apparently ITV "has been looking quite fresh over the last week". FFS if a rebrand can't look new within it's first 5 days then god help us. I expect it will revert to "quite stale" by next week.

I'm bracing myself for "fresh" to be every second word in some users posts when the News Channel moves to NBH.

Rant over.

Eugh.

Of course it's your opinion you twirp. The purpose isn't to find out definitively which was better, IMO!

Is TV Forum offline?

Appears to be.

Whatever Metropol had over the weekend must have been catching!

Yeah 'tis - nothing wrong with cheap hosting, cheapness shouldn't correlate to shit downtime in this day and age though. Congrats on the move - did you use Imagick for the uploader? Do you need to activate it in your php.ini file? (I've been through this when my client's hosts have moved/changed things with no notice, hence why I don't deal with third party hosts any more.)

It's back online.
