Where's Wales gone?
 
I use http://news.bbc.co.uk/ for my general daily news and Wales appears to be "missing".
However, further investigation reveals that you have to click on the red UK link to get the "UK" news homepage.
Excuse my ignorance but I thought the BBC was a UK company, paid for by the UK people - I certainly don't go to msnbc.com to read my news. :rolleyes:
Bad change imo. :td:

At the top of the page, select "Change Edition", then select UK edition. That way when you go back you will always get the UK edition rather than the world edition.

Strange :confused: there is a link to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/
towards the bottom right corner of my BBC frontpage?

BBC News Online uses a cookie to record whether you want to receive the World or UK edition of the site. I have always had the UK edition but this morning it's serving up the World edition to me. I just used the 'change edition' link (in the black strip below the banner, top left of screen) to change back to UK - it took a couple of attempts and a 'Page Cannot Be Displayed' notice before eventually working. I would guess they have been having trouble with the UK edition this morning, and have been serving up the World edition only as a kind of fall-back.
