I am using Firefox 3.5.4,but just tried in IE7 and its still the same.

As you say, the "is it just me" site states that the Beeb is working ok.....but even clicking on the link that site offers, BBC still does not load  :(

I can now get the homepage to load,but when clicking on any link to access content it won't load that.It must be a problem that is part fixed and ongoing.


Edit,seems to be ok now......what about for you?

I've just tried it and it worked for me. I'll go back and try some links. You posted just as I was doing the same.

Some sort of server problem I suppose.

Home page opens fine now....but some of the links to subsections are still sticking...sport seems to be still non-functioning.

No doubt just a matter of time before it's sorted.  :)

It's all zipping along now... :clap2:

If you like a bit of BBC nostalgia you can look at old "interludes" and see announcers from the Fifties in action on www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/history/interludes.htm  :)
