When I click on it, it just takes me to my comments, same as clicking on "New Messages."

Is your browser java enabled? It's working fine for me.

Try clicking on this link... http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify

If that doesn't take you to the pager, your browser is deficient.

Could someone please explain this innovation?

It's a little notifier that chimes when you have incoming posts or Freepmails. It's been around for a couple of years. Very handy.

It's good there's finally a short cut for it. I always have one window dedicated to the pager.

how do I control the volume?

There should be a little button on the front of your computer that has a light near it somewhere...

So these are the ugly-@ss fonts everyone was talking about, eh? I wonder why it took me an extra day to see them?

How is this different than 'My Comments' or 'Mail' link being bolded?

I just clicked the icon and heard "what's the frequency Kenneth?" Does this mean Dan Rather has infiltrated my computer?

It refreshes itself every 60 seconds or so. The pager chimed to notify me of your post. Clicking on it when it chimes will take you directly to the first incoming Freepmail (if you have one) or to "My Comments."

This way, if I'm reading an article, and someone has written or posted to me, I'm notified by the pager if I have a window open that's dedicated to it.

You're only supposed to do that on threads in the Backroom.

I didn't get a screen or a working link when I clicked on the icon.......

What I did get was an item I couldn't kill even in TaskMan.....and eventually I had to kill everything else and reboot.

Buggy little pain in the butt, is what it is.

Unless it's one of those boutique ideas that MS builds into their latest release of Explorer, that they then go around suggesting that people add to their sites for "enhanced functionality".........and which are designed to drive people to the new release.

Or am I being too conspiratorial and untrusting?

No, but if you are using a Popup Stopper, this baby is going to be hard to "catch" the first time out!
