1) Scan the LBN column on the DU Home page or, better yet, go to the LBN forum index, click on the Start Time column heading to sort that way and scan that.

2) If the news has not been posted then compose your OP in the usual way and post it.

3) Finally, again do a quick scan of the LBN column on the DU Home page in case somebody posted the same story while you were composing yours. If that occurred then it is unfortunate but save the hosts the trouble of locking it and self-delete the thread.
