It's the "update entry" button, or the "change format" button when you're editing an entry.
And if you click it again it gets even more stroppy.

first it says "please be patient..." then it says "please do not press this button again."

Wow! I'm glad I stopped before I had to suffer that verbal onslaught.

Oh, very funny.
Hey, maybe that's something we could put in the new skin, little Easter Egg type things - the buttons could abuse you when you keep clicking.
And there could be all different ones.
Or they could have a different one every week and there's a contest for whoever finds it.... ok maybe that's a bit labour intensive, but they could have *something* to make it as fun as the Guide was meant to be...

Don't Panic is the soul of the Guide. Is there anychancewhatsoever that the "Help" button will ever again read "Don't Panic" as it should. Maybe it could be a toggleble prefrence for the user.

They're working on a new skin, which will probably reinstate Don't Panic as well as other guide-related tidbits.

Speaking of Dad's Army (as almost everybody wasn't 
) why not Jones's classic "They don't like it up 'em" or Frazer's "We're doomed!" (presumably in large unfriendly letters)

We called our boat (very small dingy actually) Don't Panic. It's painted upside down on the transom (the bit at the back) so that when you are flailing around in the water having just capsized you see in big friendly letters....
