Please can that uncooked chicken be taken away. It did pop up on no fewer than three opening pages. "Discuss", "Blog" and the Home page. It has now vanished from the Home Page thankfully.
But in any case WHY does the Blog come above the MB on the Discuss page when it has its own page?
Yes I know what MLers wlml tell me. but perhaps we could have the "official" answer. Then that will confirm or not our suspicion that the powers that be want us to move over to the Blog and abandon our MBs.

Hi Peggy
The blog has replaced the backstage news function on the website as it's much easier and quicker for Keri to update. The blog page is given prominence for that reason, and to encourage people to discuss The Archers in any way they prefer - be that on the message board, the blog, Twitter etc.
(Sorry you didn't like the image!)

I agree with the opening post - the menu bar on the hme page has "Discuss" and "Blog" as choices.
if you click "Discuss" you get offred "Blog" again first.
This is irritating and unnecessary.

Sorry Tayler but this is nonsense. We didn't have the backstage feature coming up when you went to the MB. There is a tab called Blog. Having the blog cme up when you press Discuss AS WELL is just shoving it down our thrpats and makes it look like what many suspect: a not-so-hidden agenda to get rid of the MBs.

And I still don't and it's still there.

Hi Peggy
I will send your comments on to the team. The blog has been included in the Discuss section as it's another place where people can discuss the programme, along with the message board, Twitter, Facebook, Peets Place, Facebook, Archers Addicts etc etc.
The idea is to open up discussion to more people not close anything down. (Not everyone feels at home on a message board!)

They wouldn't put a picture of a naked member of the cast on the front pge, why a dead naked chicken?
What's the problem - surely Jazzer would not have cooked a chicked in full feather?
A picture of the cooked, finished dish would be no problem.
But what's the problem with a picture of an oven-ready chicken? I fail to comprehend the objections.

I'm also baffled. Seems like a bizarre thing to complain about.
Apparently it's akin to a picture of a naked Charles Collingwood.

Snork!
Would that explain Judy Bennett's near absence in recent months?
