Red Dwarf Official Website is on Downtime (For the time being)

[Kris Carter]

… aaaand changing either the ‘Series’ or ‘Section’ drop-down in the episode guide or clicking “Search” 404s you too, and it doesn’t even give you a usable URL query out of it. On top of reappearing the cookies thing for every new page within the episode guide section.

Maybe this is the reason there isn’t a news post about the site being back, and the Red Dwarf social medias haven’t mentioned it. I’m actually starting to doubt they even did it intentionally.

The Complete Guide stuff is still all there, but the URL’s are all borked. So for example, if you’re on the series 1 section, the link used to be:

https://reddwarf.co.uk/series/1/index.cfm

But now, the dropdown is knackered, so you’ll need to manually type the section you want to get to, so for Cast and Crew, Series 1, you need to type:

https://reddwarf.co.uk/series/1/cast-and-crew/

You can hover over the Previous/Next pages links at the bottom of each section to work out what you’ll need to type. 

It’s not perfect…

Ah, that’s good to know, thanks Kris.

Shit, wrong thread. Okay, just pretend you haven’t seen that and then have a look at the memes thread, where I’m about to post a highly amusing GIF.

Understandable Jason, you saw “TOS” and assumed it was another rude word meme.

On the subject of The Official Site, it’s been almost 2 months since it came back online, and as far as I can tell none of the major broken links have been fixed. That’s pretty disappointing.

Luckily it also works as commentary on the state of TOS.

So TOS has now been back up for 3 and a half months, but the official Twitter still isn’t able or confident enough to start linking to the episode guide in their anniversary tweets again. Not an amazing sign of progress…

That’s right, suckers… QUEEG was first broadcast on this day in 1988. Who else is celebrating with a pea on toast for dinner tonight? #RedDwarf pic.twitter.com/bL6ZQp76ga

It’s not an amazing experience looking for things on there still. I was trying to go through the news archive a couple of weeks ago and that wasn’t working past a certain number of pages, and searching for articles is spotty.

+1 for not putting a caption on the second Padme panel. Perfection.

What day is the actual anniversary?

The same day it has been the other 34 times

The same day it has been the other 34 times 

Which would be very helpful if I had ever managed to take note of the date the last 3 times since being properly interested in Red Dwarf  :P

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Well the answer is 15th Feb

Ah shit I haven’t done my shopping yet
