New Format
Vamity | 07/04/07 | rpellegrini

Posted on 07/04/2007 5:25:46 PM PDT by rpellegrini

Why the new abbreviated format on FR? Extremely annoying. It makes me lose interest in the topic not to have some lead in.

I think you somehow changed your preferences.

Either that, or Al Gore is taking back the internet.

Classifying a post as “Vamity” has been known to make FR go wii.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

This is the end of the information highway.

The lack of funds from algore, it's father, prevents further paving and upkeep.

Turn around

Go back

There's nothing to see anyway.

You can browse the "threads" or by "messages". The links to switch back and forth are on the upper right of the browse page.

You probably inadvertantly switched from browsing by "threads," where you will also see the first hundred words or so of the article, to browsing by "messages," where you will just see the thread title, who the message was posted from and to, the date and time, and the number of the message in the thread. (You'll also see thread headers in the message view, but mixed in with all the lastest messages.)

Message view can be useful if you want to see what threads are currently active, even if the thread itself was not recently posted.

Wait a minute. If you're not used to the wii interface it might be safer to aim the old fashioned way. (Just be sure and wash your hands.)
