Revision3 is a cool company that produces highly popular IPTV shows. Amongst them are the o so popular DiggNation and The Totally RAD show (which I both love).

Even highly successful web 2.0 (god I hate that phrase) companies like Revision3 can make mistakes from time to time. Shown below are pictures of their “Down for Maintenance” pages, one from their homepage, which I like to call ‘Pants Up’, and one of one of the sub-sites, you’ve guessed it; ‘Pants Down’.

After looking at the HTML it looks like it was designed with sub-domains in mind, not subfolders (the image links are relative to the current directory).

Update:

The site is back up again.

I download a lot of their shows, so one of the things that I immediately noticed was that they seem to have dropped Theora as a file format (to bad, never heard of it before and wanted to give it a try), and the seem to order their download links now. Still not quite there yet (HD, Large, Small, Small Large Small, mp3 seems like a weird order), so it looks like they have seen my earlier post (or maybe someone else pointed it out to them, which seems far more likely).

All in all: nice work. I can't wait to find out more new features. You might want to add little icons that match wich the codecs in the download list, that would give it a little finishing touch.

I just hope you guys take the Matroska Codec into consideration for the High Definition stuff; it works great for scene release HD TV releases, so why wouldn't it work for you? The fact that I hate the QuickTime player has something to do with it as well...

After wanting to go back, I've found this Menu UI bug as well (IE7)...

After some more testing with Firefox this time, I've noticed some more UI problems with the menu, but this time it's not the content that overlays it, but the banner ads on the top of the page. Guesse they need to do some more testing.
