As the new update continues to roll out, recent changes include:

- Much more detailed entries for some articles, including Byker
Grove and Truth or Dare. The new CSS layout allows for navigation
links so you can skip straight to the section you're interested in
(for example, you can now access brief profiles of Donna's co-stars
without having to scroll down to the bottom of the page by hand).

- 'Spoilers' are now hidden - that is, if a review contains
information which gives away the end of a film etc, a simple script
has been added to hide this information unless you click to show it,
or click its shortcut on the menu mentioned above.

- On the picture pages, we're working hard to improve image quality.
Many of the early pictures were scanned by us in a time when .gif
was the main internet image format; this has resulted in flat-
looking images with greyed-out contrast and, due to gifs' 256-colour
limit, often we chose to paint out backgrounds with a single colour.
Now, through a combination of web-based research and manual
rescanning, we're trying to replace those early images with higher
quality true-colour jpegs. Some of the very early images may take a
while (the 2nd Sky Magazine photo, which I like to call 'the
arsecheek shot', seems to only be online in different versions of
our original scan, so we'll be needing to rescan that one at some
point). Please be patient!

We'd love any feedback you might want to give - even if it's just to
tell us to stop emailing so often! As the update continues, would
you like us to keep you informed, or would you prefer to discover
newly updated pages as you browse the site? And would you prefer us
to focus on developing existing pages, such as the Byker Grove
article, or on adding new content, even where that content might be
quite brief due to a lack of available information? Please let us
know!

In the meantime, thanks again for your continued support, and we all
hope the new features help you to find what you're looking for each
and every time you need your Air-fix (see what I did there??).

Best Wishes,
Bob Bardsley.
