Title: Home page changes
Post by: Den on Sep 10, 2009, 20:11:08
Is there something up with the BBC web site this evening? On both IE8 and Firefox the BBC home page location has changed to London but tells me it is set on Wrexham.  :eek4:

Yes I have mine set to Stafford but it is showing the Weather for London for example.

I had to reset mine too.  I'm guessing it works on a cookie - perhaps they changed it?

Suggest you delete the old cookie and let it set a new one?  :dunno:

I have a 'Gadget' that uses the BBC website as a data source and it's currently not working at all. I've also noticed since yesterday that a lot of the pictorial content on the website is also not working.
