BBC iD on blogs update 7:08pm on 01 Dec 2009 I see today's roll out of the new ID system across all the boards is going according to plan...........NOT. They have just posted on the Archers Bull board it is going to be suspended until Thursday.

Message 96.

Now where did I see someone say it will all end in tears?

We did try telling you it was still bugged.
Anyway hope you get it sorted soon so we can get back to normal service.
Points of View and HD Picture Quality: a response 1:07pm on 14 Nov 2009 Have we side stepped DOGs again too, you know that well known "very useful" navigation tool.

If it is a navigation tool why does iPlayer now have a DOG? You can't navigate iPlayer.

I'm also waiting for the make and model number, as previously requested from either Ms Nagler or her staff, of any equipment that can render the HD broadcast on normal viewers TV sets, that does not put up channel and programme details as soon as you start navigation (which of course makes the DOG pointless for that purpose)
BBC HD: Interview with Danielle Nagler on Points of View 7:00pm on 09 Nov 2009 DN tells us the DOG is a navigation tool.

So I challenge DN and any of her staff to give me the make and model number of any equipment used by viewers like us, that can render her HD broadcast on a screen, that does not bring up its own menu and information bar as soon as you start navigating.

(These inbuilt navigation tools do a better and more comprehensive job than a DOG could ever do.)

Come on the gauntlet is thrown........name me one.
BBC iD on blogs update 10:11am on 08 Nov 2009 When I say months, it's closer to a year.

BBC iD on blogs update 08:02am on 08 Nov 2009 "But then bashing the the BBC is easier than finding a clue obviously"

We've been using the "new" log in system and boards over on the iPlayer site for months, it has never worked properly, we have made posts commenting on it since its inception.

We are still making posts commenting on it, in response to the board host's request asking for bugs to be reported.

Hardly BBC bashing.
BBC iD on blogs update 6:20pm on 07 Nov 2009 They are saying it's backwards compatible to what they are using, your nonsense about photoshop is just not relevant.
BBC iD on blogs update 4:54pm on 07 Nov 2009 Oh guess what, I've just had to go through the log in merry go round to post again.

You don't half bark up the wrong path boiler. Duh back at ya.
BBC iD on blogs update 2:20pm on 07 Nov 2009 You are just being obtuse there Boiler, the BBC are saying that this system will work across the board on existing, i.e. that it is backwards compatable, when I can also vouch that it is not working correctly as Phazer has pointed out.

Your analogy about photoshop is spurious. It wouldn't have loaded in the first instance let alone run.
A day in the life of the Head of BBC HD 1:18pm on 07 Nov 2009 "egg on a stilt - I know you were trying to be funny with your DOG joke but in my view it was disruptive and therefore broke the house rules."Quoted from Nick Reynolds on this thread.

Joke or nay the point was quite serious, if you consider two posts with the word woof in the top left hand corner disruptive to this thread, even off topic perhaps, I would like to turn it on it's head and throw it back at you.

The BBC DOG (in it's many incarnations) rarely if ever has any relevance to the programme you are watching, it adds no value to the programme and IT is disruptive to the viewers enjoyment, you don't have to take my word for it there are many who have posted complaining for a long time, not just about the normal BBC DOG but most definitely the HD DOG, and DN is asking about HD issues on this blog. None of this you can deny.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/01/bbc_hd_creeping_dogs.html

So I will say for once (of late) that you Nick and I agree on something, that a word or emblem in the top left hand corner is disruptive and needs to be removed.

You are fortunate that you have the power to remove your irritant, we the viewers are not so lucky with ours.
A day in the life of the Head of BBC HD 6:53pm on 02 Nov 2009 So you modded two of my comments that said woof.(33 & 34)

The third made reference to the dog, you neutered the point of third post by removing the other two.

The woofs were in the top left hand corner of each post...... get it?
You know like the BBC DOG.

Do you look before you leap in to moderate posts?
