The RSS feed icon wasn't removed, it was moved into the bookmarks menu. Even among our very advanced users, this button has the lowest percentage use of all our buttons, and is not used anywhere near enough to justify being in the main UI.
- One solution involves using the built in customization tools (right-click on tool bar, choose customize, drag icon to desired location and click done). While this works, it's unsatisfactory because unlike the old icon/behavior, it is always present and taking up space, even on sites without feeds.
- A better solution that restores the 3.x functionality involves installing an extension -- RSS Icon. I'm using it myself currently and it works as expected. Note that per the dev,
This addon DOES NOT look for links to rss/atom files in the body of a document.

@Josephus I'm sorry to hear that but I hear your pain. It has worked twice for me now (the solid state hard drive failed, which apparently is another common problem) and the warranty replacement they sent was not imaged correctly, so I ended up having to reinstall windows AGAIN.
I'm glad Ubuntu's working out. I hear Windows 7 works really well on these systems too (and doesn't have the installation problems) but I'm just not willing to pony up the $$ to try.

You NO LONGER need to have the Provider addon installed in Thunderbird to have bidirectional Google calendar support. Just the Lightning addon. Google Calendar now supports CalDAV and it’s very easy to enable bidirectional updating of your Google Calendar from within Thunderbird. Follow these instructions, remembering that Sunbird is the actual name of the Thunderbird calender.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#sunbird
Remember, you’ll want to make sure you have the Google calendar box checked in left hand column of the calendar view in Thunderbird to have the Google calendar show. Also, very important. When adding an event from Thunderbird, you must specify which calendar you want the event to show up on. By default, this is set to the “home” calender. Click the drop down to select your Google calendar. This must be done or the event will not sync back to Google Calendar. Also, I set my Lightning calendar refresh to 5 minutes, which allows for faster updating of the calendars.

Hi Madrunner,
As far as I know it is working correctly, although I have not had a need to make appointments offline in several months. When I originally installed this fix I tested it and it did work ok so I wonder if there was an update that broke it. I can't right now but will do a test.

1.Make sure IE 8 is closed then navigate to registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
2.Add a new “Expandable String value” inside the above mentioned key with a value name of “AppData” and a value data of “%USERPROFILE%\Application Data”.
3.Reopen IE 8 and see if you still get the error message.
Note that this is also the fix suggested by Michael Agens in post #8 (who as you will see is NOT the MS employee in the thread).
I hope this helps someone!

For the first time since 1995, the Boston Red Sox are the division champs. Unfortunately the Yanks had an amazing second half to resurrect their season and have claimed the wild card, so they are still a threat. I guess no one told Papelbon it was okay to wear shorts!

Hello amr,
Subject:
Privacy of individual images in some posts.
You have replied in a query in Feb 007 that a post cannot be made private.
Is this applicable even now, or any hack is available to manage making [not necessarily the post], more correctly, image on a post private?
I deal with sexual health and sex education. Relevant images would be useful [essential], but I am shaky about posting them.
Should I write to Google feedback to review and inform me?
[Below I have pasted the content policy excerpts verbatim though you thoroughly know it or possibly as a staff may have contributed to the policy doc. You may skip this.]
"We believe Blogger increases the availability of information, encourages healthy debate, _ _ _ _ _We respect our users' ownership of and responsibility for the content they choose to share. It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression." [I would add like to add 'EDUCATION' along with the word 'expression'.]
However,
"Image and video content that contains nudity, sexually graphic material, or material that is otherwise deemed explicit by Google should be made private."
is also mentioned in the content policy.
Please give me appropriate guidance.
Best regards,
Dr. Ashok Koparday

Consultant in Sexual Medicine
You may wish to see one post, with the text and relevant image, as a sample.
The link below will take you there straight.

This might take your precious time. However, I cannot continue till I receive authoritative guidance. Hope you understand!

It's unconscionable that in this day and age professional athletes think they can get away with claiming that they are not at fault because "[they] didn't know what the hell it was". These guys train hard and pay good money to push the boundaries and get whatever edge they can. There's no way they let anyone give them anything or put anything on them without knowing exactly what it was....

img credit: Phil Noble/Press AssociationGay Britons Serve in Military With Little Fuss, as Predicted Discord Does Not Occur
By Sarah Lyall, for the New York Times
Since the British military began allowing homosexuals to serve in the armed forces in 2000, none of its fears — about harassment, discord, blackmail, bullying or an erosion of unit cohesion or military effectiveness — have come to pass, according to the Ministry of Defense, current and former members of the services and academics specializing in the military. The biggest news about the policy, they say, is that there is no news. It has for the most part become a nonissue.
i've started perusing the nytimes more frequently to augment the horribly inadequate hourly cnn trawls. to be honest, although i am greatly concerned about our involvement in iraq, i've never really thought about more than the troops in combat. Don't Ask, Don't Tell became public policy when i was but a wee middle schooler (1993), more concerned with winning games and doing well in school than anything else.
With the extended tours of duty it is impossible for us to maintain troop levels for too much longer without putting everyone at (even more) risk. Why is it that in 2007 we're more concerned with what a soldier does in the bedroom on their own time than their ability to fight for our country?
