I think someone's been reading the Zsa Zsa thread:

I'm probably as irritated as anyone by these posts but do you really think it will stop them if this thread is closed, seeing how there are a number of other threads open? They'll just show up on the Zsa Zsa Gabor thread!

Former Somerset skipper Peter Roebuck has died aged 55. Not been a good year for former cricketers .

Link?

1968 medicine/physiology laureate H Gobind Khorana has died aged 89.

Frankie Cocozza and the associated press coverage. He's a talentless prick, so why the obsession?

It takes even more luck to see the sea through a gold coffin and 6 feet of earth. Luck? More like a f'kin miracle!

Watched BBC 2's Timewatch last night, about the Dambusters raid. Three of the surviving aircrew appeared. New Zealander Les Munro, is 92 and the only pilot still alive; Bomb-aimer George 'Johnny' Johnson, now 90, and the only Briton surviving;. RCAF F/Sgt Grant MacDonald (age unknown but c90+) was a front-gunner. Munro and Johnson are pretty much guaranteed UK obituaries, MacDonald, maybe less so. Sgt Fred Sutherland (RCAF) is believed to be the only other airman still alive.

'89 Physics Laureate Norman Ramsey has died aged 96.

I'm sure their treasurer has no personal liability. Please stop reading the Mail.

Done Cheers.

Can mine be 'Lord' please?

I haven't shaved in years, but I'm willing to stop trimming for the month.

Actor Wyatt Knight, who played Tommy in Porky's & Porky's II has been found dead in Maui, suspected suicide. http://perezhilton.c...de#.TrMzxUPwXdk

First: a few tips. The edit box for a reply at the bottom of a page is not very useful for anything, other than a quick reply without fancy mark-up. Use the button labelled "More Reply Options". If you want to quote a post, hit the "Quote" button and then the "More Reply Options" one. That view has a "Preview Post" button that actually works. A very useful option in that view is the button at the upper left corner of the editor, with a picture of what looks like a small paperclip, but which I guess is supposed to be a light switch: . It toggles the edit mode of the editor to the one we're familiar with in the old version. I'll have to look into the URL bit, but in the "More Reply Options" view it works pretty much as it used to: Hit the button with a picture of a mask with a teardrop: . You'll get a popup window like: . Fill in a URL and a link to that URL (and with the same URL as link text) will be added to your post, like this: http://www.deathlist.net Type a link text, hit the link button and fill in a URL. A link to that URL with your link text will be added to your post, like this: this is a link to our front page. Let me see: <b>"This sentence is supposed to be in boldfaced type."</b> So: no, I guess. All this newfangled software confuses me no end. Is IPB going the way of the Evil EmpireMicrosoft? Next lesson: posting pictures. regards, Hein Thanks, I shall give 'More Replay Options' a go next time I have something more to post.

If I use an html tag (as of old) of the form xxxxxxxxx I would expect xxxxxxxxx to appear. However, I get something like this: http://www.guardian....ituary]Obituary[/url] Just pasting in the link works fine: http://www.guardian....ilburn-obituary Are html tags still supported? P.S. It would be nice if the post preview was still available. Well that didn't post as anticipated either. Old method (url=anyurl)xxxxxxxxx(/url) - but replace round brackets with sqaure ones!

Two points: Can the flood control delay be reduced (or removed) on searches? Can someone fix the link posting so that it works like it used to (or explain what I'm doing wrong)?

Queue four DDP teams repeatedly entering her name into Google News and clicking "search" over and over again. ...till their thumbs bleed! They can http://www.guardian....n-obituary]stop clicking now:[/url]. Bloody redesign! The link http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/nov/02/rosie-kilburn-obituary

I believe you mean

This made"]http://www.guardian....oof-emails]made me laugh[/url]! I give up! http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/oct/30/reeling-in-phisher-spoof-emails that's the link.

The one constant in a sea of change.... has changed. I hope I get used to it, but it seems glaringly bright compared with the old DL, and I haven't even started using it yet.

I'm very saddened by this news. I mean, I've got 2 ancient old DJs on my DDP team and neither of them are Savile.

As we have the thread, might as well use it... The last British PoW sent to Colditz has died. Peter Storie-Pugh MC, was 91.

Johnny is to make his long-awaited(?!) concert debut in the UK next year. He's playing the Royal Albert Hall on October 15th.

anyone?
