Forum

We seem to be having some technical difficulties with our forum right now. Whilst it's working perfectly in terms of viewing threads and such, any attempt to post there results in a white screen and no other result. We've notified our host company and hope the issue will be sorted soon.

Poll

Last week's poll revealed a good range of ages for our viewership, everything from under 10 to over 55 - but with most in their 20s. This week we round this series off by asking where in the world you are.

Caption Competition

Congratulations to Frankie Chestnuts, winner of last week's competition. This week, an image from the original series... kinda of!

Poll

Okay, I get that most people who visit this site are going to be guys. In fact, 92.8% of them are guys. But do we really have 5.1% "Other" compared to 2.1% who are female? I have to say, I find that kinda interesting!

This week, we ask how old you are.

Caption Competition

Congratulations to The Geek, winner of last week's competition. This week, a snap from ENT's "Sleeping Dogs".

Images

New images of the space cruiser Aurora from the Remastered version of "The Way To Eden" have been put up.

Articles

A little update to the Antimatter article, adding a couple of pics and expanded discussion of the episode "Obsession", to bring in evidence from the Remastered TOS series. The images are not huge or high quality yet, but they certainly get the idea across.

Poll

Well, opinion somewhat split on the new Enterprise bridge design, though more favourable than not overall. Will be interesting to see it on the big screen.

This week we're going to start a new series of polls to find out about you, the DITL visitor. We're going to ask a series of questions over the next few weeks to find out who you are!

Caption Competition

Congratulations to Capt. Jethro, winner of last week's competition. This week, a shot from Voyager's "Renaissance Man".

Website update

The website has just been completely updated The new look is not radically different from the previous one but it almost halves the number files required to run the site. It's should slightly reduce the time to load the each page and lower the hit rate per page.

Another major change is that out ancillary graphics, for example the menu buttons, title graphics at the top of each page etc. Each one of these takes time to download and uses up bandwidth. With the new site design we have an option to remove this loading completely, by simply downloading and installing a font file from our site. By doing this you you will find that the site not only looks virtually identical and works exactly the same way but is very very much faster.

The font file you need to download to make this work is available here font file. Install it on your system and restart your web-browser.

Updates

As part of the new system design I've added a new Honour Role page to the Sudden Death section.
