Merger

I was thinking that the content of BBC News Magazine Monitor could be slimmed down and merged into this article, since a lot of the current content could be considered superfluous and the rest could fit in quite easily within this article. Wikiwoohoo 15:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just done it. Hope people like it. Wikiwoohoo 21:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To celebrate I and several others are tying to get it onto today's most read list. So please could you and all your friends and colleagues read http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/14310.stm Thryduulf 12:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest page

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/politics97

This news sub-section of the BBC site could be the oldest news page available. It still has the old BBC logo! --Jorvik 16:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Banners?

I'm looking at BBC.co.uk (international version) right now but I can't see a single banner! When were they supposed to be implemented?82.99.21.74 (talk) 11:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forum

The paragraph regarding the ease of manipulation of rankings, in particular the sentence "It's obvious......nowhere" is IMHO very subjective. Is there any evidence of this which can be cited?

Problem

According to this they got RSS 0.91 feeds in 2003 and then upgraded to 2.0 in 2000. This appears to be a clear error. PS- If I find the correct info I will add it --82.32.52.223 (talk) 06:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
