The new look HEXUS.tv site is h'officially up and running, so go check it out!
Have a play with all the new bits, such the loverly Ijax style windows for other shows etc.
Let us know if you spot any bugs... and yes, some shows have the HEXUS.tv logo showing twice, this is because the site automatically adds them to each show, and older shows already have them in, if that makes any sense.

this just normal hexus.forum login?
Just cancel it, seems to work fine.
No login is needed.
I was still in the process of activating the new site when you guys hopped onto it

BUGS
I wrote it, so there'll be bugs!
There'll also be a few things that don't work quite as expected, less so because they're broken, but more because there are few areas that need 'filling' out.
Still, if you spot what you think is a bug, check in this thread... if it's mentioned already, keep schtum... I already know about it. If it's not mentioned in this thread yet, then let us know what the bug is, along with what browser you're running.
Ta!

I thought at first the flash player was bugged: the progress bar, time remaining and volume etc. were a third of the way up the video...
until I moved my mouse away from the mouse roll over position, and it faded out
Getting a minor script error with IE7 in Vista
(Click fo full sized PNG)
And it's a bit of a waste of a 24" monitor
Looks much better when you go to the "full sized" video. I thought this one was smaller.
The embeded button taking it to full screen doesn't work for me.
I'm aware of the IE javascript error.
Annoyingly it doesn't break anything, making fixing it somewhat harder.
As for the size. We designed it to be sympathetic to smaller screens (e.g. laptops and such) and considering the fact that most people run at 1280x1024.
There's a bug in the player when running full screen at the moment. So the button is disabled while I work out how to fix it

Nicely done guys, lot better than the old site, the background of which used to appear to flicker on my LCD screens...
Nice work
Favicon is missing from <head>
And a suggestion; include a title attribute with links so you get a tooltip on truncated items like:
<h1>Shows being watched today...</h1>
<div class="boxPadded"><h2><a href="http://www.hexus.tv/show/2008/02/AMD_s_Jon_Carvill_hangs_tough_in_the_face_of_serious_questioning">AMD's Jon Carvill hangs tough in the face of se...</a>

Damn multiple threads so "moving" my comments to this one
I like the new site, it looks all cool and funky
Blasted multi-threads for leaving feedback - put comment in wrong oneI'm finding the auto play pretty annoying right now - digging/submitting and going back to select a new video and the old one starts playing again
I'm running 1680x1050 here at work and 1920x1080 at home and the changes for this resolution are actually feeling like a downgrade, don't get me wrong the rest of the surrounding site is a big improvement, but the tv footage playback is now all screwed for me, much smaller window even if i go "large" with the playback window.
Great work but can we do something about movie playback to take advantage of the bigger screens.

I've made some tweaks this morning based on feedback here and also some things we decided to change for the better.
The changes are mostly to the pages with the smaller video. If things look wrong, hit ctrl+f5 to make sure it's not cache before letting me know about it.
Finally, for those of you who want a bigger player, two points:
1. It's higher res than you tube
2. I'll re-enable full screen support once I can be sure it won't break anything.

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
