New skin for BBC News

A nice new skin for BBC News. Reminds me of NewsVine.

Anyone else get this glitch in the CSS?

I think it must be Linux-only, or they’d have picked it up.

    Given that it only affects 400-600 people, I doubt they’re worried.

    Happens to me too, so yes, probably a Linux only issue. Like Steve says there’s so few of us though….

    More seriously - the main point to note seems to be the move to a 1024px width design. Until this redesign we had used this as a reference 800px wide site.

    That glitch is linux-only, but their are other teething problems with the CSS, e.g. on this page:

    Looks like they didn’t take CSS for bullet lists into account. That’s pretty sloppy.

    Eek — and the top nav for TV / Radio / etc. is gone! That’s not nice.
