(or is it no > longer IE only?) I asked just this question; and the answer is the invocation of the iPlayer is some kind of ActiveX nastiness. Everything else works just fine with Firefox, but the team made the sensible decision to make the entire site "not work", rather than allow you to get all the way to choosing a programme and then be told you can't. It *is* on the roadmap to be sorted, though; as is the Mac/Linux issue.

The manky messageboard is the BBC's "DNA" system, which talks correctly to the single sign-on service, and does other useful fancy things. There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes; much of what I see of the BBC's current web infrastructure (now I'm inside) is very Web0.5, but that's being sorted. Don't panic. (That previous sentence was, I note, an unintended pun, given that 'DNA' is actually based on the H2G2 engine.) //j http://james.cridland.net/
