I forgot to mention that the site relies explicitly on jquery to do all
the fun stuff. I have some other requests for a noscript version of the
site and I am looking into the best way to enable that while also
retaining the more "game" like functionality of the randomiser (Roulette)
system.

Thanks for reminding me. All those errors are harmless. A few end tags
missing "/"'s in the header section (easily fixed) and the majority of the
other errors come from the external scripts which I have no control of.

I understand that some people are adverse to social media but the whole
point of the site is to be social and share the information as much as
possible to build as much traffic as possible so that we can make money
from advertising and use that revenue to pay people to create high quality
content on a regular basis so in this case the naysayers are going to be
left behind to a certain degree unfortunately ;-)

Can you send me a screenshot offlist please? I am not seeing what you
describe here as a problem. It is by design that the ticker would overlap
just a little but maybe you have a very tiny screen and it is taking up
more room?

By source do you mean let the viewer choose between ogv, webm, h264,
etc...? Can you elaborate please?

FYI, I haven't tried to process the individual media that I have included
in the playlists for multiple encodings. That is a bit more effort than I
am prepared to commit to at this early stage of development.
