What's the New "Pager" Icon About? (Vanity Request for Help)

Free Republic

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I noticed this morning that a little speaker icon had popped up next to my screen name, and when I let the browser settle on it, the word "pager" appears. When I click on it, it just takes me to my comments, same as clicking on "New Messages."

Could someone please explain this innovation? Thanks.

If you click it, in approximately 10 days, you will receive a box of government issued cheese......

A great tool for those who are addicted to FR.

Is your homepage on your computer FR, now? :)

I thought it was a Muttly paw !

It's right next to his name, and I thought everybidy's screen has PoorMuttly and his paw up there.

"I lost my secret decoder ring"

Well, now you've done it. You don't know where those things can end up! Don't you realize that Hillary occasionally flies around in a black helicopter to track them? When they stay with us, they make us invisible to the forces of evil, but when they are separated from us, they send out these invisible light beams, invisible, that is, except to those black helicopters. Then it gives a read out of all the activities of the hapless FReeper who lost the ring. Hillary lives for this stuff! Now it will take a special tracking device to find it and disable it. I hope you're happy now! I would suggest that you up your donation to FR to help defray the cost of your carelessness.

Did you know you can do this to the FR Pager? http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify?spoken=no;bell=http://www.neatostudio.com/32dohs.wav

Now, instead of the little ding, you will here Homer 'Dohs

You can replace everything after bell= with your own WAV link.

Wait til Rove hears about this!

I spend my days with rooms full of teenagers, and you expect me to be afraid of Hillary? ;-)

[SerpentDove]

WOOHOO!

Also, if you are in IE, when you open the Pager from the link provided at the top of the page, you can press Ctrl+O (letter o) while the little window it up from and paste

into the open box and then click OK

There seems to be a small problem with the My Comments. I now can get only one page worth. When I click to see older posts I get a blank page.

Thanks!

I get another page but it's 3 months old.... The current page, ... click for 'show more posts' and it begins with post back in Sept...... click again for 'show more post' and it displays back in April.....

Somethings screwed.....

[CaptRon]

Could it be programmed to give an electrical crackle when someone is zotted?

[deport]

click backwards or 'show more post' on your 'my comments' page.... what do you get? current or much older post?
