    I just wanted to vote for keeping the television information of episodes airing in the U.S. I appreciate the small picture and the episode title, and I have been learning episode titles ever since. However, rather than having these be one of the first things people see when they see the site, how about putting them off to the side on the bottom. That way they don't have to annoy people who don't see the episodes at the listed times.

    You all do such a good job with Gateworld. Thank you!!!

      I really like the new design.

      A couple of comments:
      - I especially like the new light-blue background color of some of the boxes. It makes it stick out from for example the google ads. Is it possible to do the same for the Stargate Primer? I remember that when I read it (again) at the beginning of S9, I was sooooo missing the table of contents until I realized after maybe 30 minutes that I was suffering from banner blindness because the table looked so much like an ad.
      - Is it possible to make your new Kavan video (here) only play when I hit play? I don't like the instant-play function because (1) I really have to pay attention to how much MBs I spend online, and (2) it's not much fun to find out which of my 20 opened tabs is the source of the "noise". I always almost get a heart attack because I think someone has hacked into my system.
      - Oh, almost forgot. Maybe I'm just paying too much attention to proper design, but the browser descriptions of some of the news pages are like this:
      Gateworld - News: <i>SG-1</i>'s 'Insiders' Now filming
      I realize that that comes from the original html source code and maybe you can't do anything about it but it still looks strange.

        Hi Darren,

        I was wondering, when the Star Wars television series starts, do you plan to add it to the rest of the sub-sites? I sometimes check out the sub-sites if I'm trying to remember the name of an episode or something.

          Thanks for the feedback on the "GateWorld In Vancouver" feature, sgeureka! This actually isn't the "GateWorld 2.0" redesign that we're talking about -- it's just a temporary feature for the week, while we are here in the Great White North. The home page will go back to normal early this next week.

          Videos play automatically so that I don't get 20 e-mails asking why it won't play. ("Hit the Play arrow, please.") I think neither decision will be perfect for everyone, so I go with my gut.

          The HTML tags in the page titles is a drawback of our news script, but a relatively minor one. I may engineer it out of there for GW 2.0.

            We may very well add a sub-site for Star Wars once the show arrives. There are a number of factors that go into that decision, but ultimately it comes down to how into a show I happen to be. And I'm a big SW fan.

              Hey Darren

              What kind of navigation will you use? The same as the one you have now or will you use a different kind of navigation?

                This has nothing to do with the topic, but maybe this thread should be moved to "Announcements" or something so more people will comment?

                  Speaking of new sub-sections... what about Dr. Who? It isn't an American show, although it is now playing in the U.S. too. I personally think it is very good, and have enjoyed it completely. As having the distinction of the longest running Sci-Fi series ever it has a very long history and mythology behind it, that I'm still trying to figure out. Is Dr. Who a favorite of yours as well?

                    I grew up on Tom Baker on PBS, and I have enjoyed two of the three episodes of the new series I've seen so far. ("The End of the World" is a spectacular hour of Who-style entertainment.)

                    I hope to add an episode guide down the road, but the schedule is just too packed for this spring. Or summer.

                      Out of curiosity, what exactly is going to be changed?

                        For the site relaunch? We are working on a new site-wide design (for the main site only -- forum to come later). That's everything visual -- headers, footers, page layout, background, icons, color schemes, fonts, etc. But no worries -- it will still feel like GateWorld, and it will still have the same content elements you are used to. This week we are finalizing a new "GateWorld" logo. Or logos.

                        The layout of the home page will be substantially different, but most of the same elements (and maybe a few new ones) will be present. One change I'm excited about is a bigger and more prominent way to present the big features (currently tucked into the left-hand column), and a more dynamic way to feature the latest additions to the various parts of the site.

                        We're also hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to shuffle around the main navigation categories, add some new items, and catch up on filling in some holes (for example, in past season episode summaries).

                            I'd like to invite a handful of people to do a little beta-testing down the road, but other than that everyone will have to wait for the big unveiling!

                              I'd be honored to be a beta-tester, Darren, If you haven't picked anyone yet or you still have an empty place open yet.
