I hate it too, the only reason I used the new format tonight was because the finally ended the linking to the old version. First time I got the blank page saying the old version was finally, completely gone.

damage report so far, could be more, but weekend means not much news or at least slow to get out

TEHRAN: A strong earthquake of 6.2 magnitude hit southern Iran early on Saturday, the US Geological Survey said, with local media reporting of damaged villages and several injuries.


The epicentre of the quake was measured at 85 kilometres (52 miles) southeast of the southern town of Minab at 0208 GMT, the USGS said in a statement. It was at a depth of 36.44 km (22.64).


The governor of the southern Hormuzgan province, Ebrahim Azizi told state television that, "based on the preliminary searches, 15 people have sustained wounds which are not critical injuries, and one person is not in a good condition and has been hospitalised."


He added that scores of villages have been damaged and that more detailed information would be available in the coming hours as rescue teams have been dispatched to the areas.
