Go to your starting FR page - News/Activism, whatever.

Look in the very top right corner.

There’s a little box there. Enter what you want to search for and hit Go.

Many thanks. That didn’t look like search and didn’t expand until I clicked in it.

Anyone figure out how to make “brief” the default?

I wish the catagories, Activism,Breaking,Editorials,etc. would rotate with the posting of new threads like they used to.

Am I the only one who thinks the “comments” and “Brief” buttons are reversed?

No. I was told by the powergods of the webpage to log off, reboot, and move to India. It’s a monstrosity and really tough on those of us now living in India.

I only accomplished making ‘brief’ by placing that URL in my internet ‘favorites’. I use that link and just keep refreshing the page. Keeps me on briefs. There may be a much better way to do it, but that’s what I did.

Depends what you mean by default. This is my current FR bookmark and any refresh from there stays brief-—

I can’t believe it’s taken so long for someone to tell you to make sure you’re logged in...
