Hello gang...

For those of you who don't click over to the main page that often, give a click right now and check out a VERY cool new CBn feature: QUICK NEWS. In the top right hand corner of the main page you'll see a list of Bond related headlines "intercepted" by the CBn staff and your fellow CBner's. One click brings you to the original story. Now we can all stay on top of the latest breaking Bond news (or laugh at some PR agent's latest attempt to name his client the new "Bond Girl".)

Also go HERE to learn how you can submit a Quick News story yourself.

Just another way CBn is getting better all the time! :)

Bravo on this move, CBn staff. It makes the site that much more complete.

Never noticed the poll on this until now. :) Have to love this feature, it without a doubt shows that CBn finds the James Bond 007 news out there for all the fans to see.

Hey, Qwerty, did you notice you revived this thread exactly a year to the day from when it was first put up? :)

I thought it was weird you'd be promoting "new" Quick News

Looked the same to me.

Thought something was going on...

I voted "I hate it!" - no, I don't actually hate it (it's better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper :) ), but am I the only CBner who wishes that you could post replies to the Quick News items in the same threads?

Sorry to be indifferent here, but I can see the point of having a direct link to the main page, but to have two topics ( one closed and one for discussion ) for the same article isn't necessary.

If someone is to make a link to a news article, all it takes is for a moderator to link that article to the main page. :)

Just my thoughts. :)

For certain ones, I personally try to then have threads to discuss them. :)
