We're a little surprised that it took this long for bloggers to notice that the anonymous posting feature is gone.&nbsp; We removed the feature after many, many requests from site users. <br /> <br /> It is our hope that users enjoy the format change. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140475 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140475 We're a little surprised that it took this long for bloggers to notice that the anonymous posting feature is gone.&nbsp; We removed the feature after many, many requests from site users. <br /> <br /> It is our hope that users enjoy the format change. How long has this been in effect? I just responded to an anonymous blogger yesterday. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140486 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140486 How long has this been in effect? I just responded to an anonymous blogger yesterday. While I noticed it and am grateful for the change, I was reluctant to mention it lest it proved too good to be true and I would have to recant any expression of gratitude. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140487 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140487 While I noticed it and am grateful for the change, I was reluctant to mention it lest it proved too good to be true and I would have to recant any expression of gratitude. The change was made yesterday in the late afternoon. But given that you all are so observant we expected a blog on it when we got to work this morning. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140493 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140493 The change was made yesterday in the late afternoon.

Hallelujah!&nbsp; It looks like it is real!&nbsp; Editor, the reason it took this long for us to notice is that most of us don't post anonymously so we're never looking for the anonymous button! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140497 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/14838/#c_140497 Hallelujah!&nbsp; It looks like it is real!&nbsp; Editor, the reason it took this long for us to notice is that most of us don't post anonymously so we're never looking for the anonymous button! <p>[oohchild claps hands]</p> <p>Way to go, editor!
