To be pedantic it says Submit Reply rather than Send but it's fine here. (Safari, Mac OS.)
I installed a minor software update in the early hours today so please (everyone) let me know if you experience that or other problems.

I see BRB's website is following the "everyone has bandwidth to burn: let's run videos automatically" school of thought - beware!
You can stop that by turning off Javascript in your browser preferences. Chrome allows you to do that per site rather than just globally, or to do it globally and then set it to allow Javascript per site.

Friday 10am was announced some time back. However the ROH website and Twitter are saying it's 'now open' which I would have thought would mean today. I've just phoned ROH and it isn't. Friday is the day. A left hand/right hand problem it seems.
