Yup my deposit to the old address went in succesfully

I wish they showed pending transfers like BTC-e does

I still have a deposit address that works almost going a year back, so no need to worry about them forgetting it lol
Ya I have wondered about this too and realized all the address work, new and old but I wounder why they do it?  I would think that the database housing this is just getting bigger and bigger.  I am sure the size is minimal but I am thinking what if something happens to the table due to some unforeseen glitch.  

Just saying,

At some point I read that, although the deposit address change , previous address remains yours and deposits are still linked to your account.

Testing that out, will repost

Know how many confirmations they need?

6 confirmations

Q: Does my BItcoin deposit address change?
A: Yes, the deposit address listed on the "Add Funds" page will change every time a deposit to the address is made.

You are provided a new address on each deposit but they don't replace older addresses.  Once assigned to your account a deposit address is good even if newer ones are also assigned. (i.e. if you used 100 different deposit addresses they are all assigned to your account and they are all still valid).

Yes I should know this, but it seems when you come back to deposit the address they give has changed.

Does this mean I can't deposit bitcoins to gox to the same wallet address?

Seems risky if someone saves it and tries to deposit to same address.

Are these addresses one time use or do they just change randomly or at specific intervals like every day, every few days or every few logins?
