Anyone know why they have changed the name of Talking Point to 'Have your Say'?

In fact, it was amusing to see during David Eades' shift, that the news desk was cluttered with newspapers and what even looked like a hard back novel that he must have been reading between stories and bulletins!! Good old David. Doesn't care a jot...............
A Christmas present, perhaps? Smile

I wouldn't take that as gospel; you've got to log in to BBC desktop computers, and it fetches your roaming profile from a central server. The favourites are attatched to the user's profile. That said, there's nothing to say the forum's not in all the presenters' favourites!

Presenters should log on using a generic logon. It can take 10 minutes to log off and then on to a BBC computer. Given that there is only about two minutes between presenters sometimes, they need to stick to the generic logon so all presenters can uses the same profile. Off course they have to be careful. Some presenters have been known to go through the messages the previous presenter has been sending around the building!
