Do you know that I didn't realize until last night that I could just paste a hot hyperlink without having to type in the code too?

How long's THAT been fixed?

There wouldn't be "thousands of comments" to wade through...

I think Yogi Bera said "That's why nobody goes there because it's always so crowded".

Maybe Newbies should be forced to watch Free Republic Schoolhouse Rock:

Looking up words and phrases and keywords........

Dear Admin...

Can't tell you how many times I have been burned because people use STUPID keywords.

Exaggerating a little...(but not by much)...an Ann Coulter post would have "ANNIE, BABEALICIOUS, etc."

If your post is about "COULTER," use "COULTER," fer cryin' out loud!!!! If it's about Michael Moore, use "MOORE," however you might be tempted to use "FAT COMMIE PIG!!!"

Yeah, but still.

One legitimate problem is the news sites change titles. That will happen, a poster in good faith searches, doesn't see the thread, posts an article, and it's an exact duplicate of another thread posted an hour or so before. Sometimes, depending upon the popularity of the subject, we will let it go because we know others will search for that title.

Don't use keywords for searching, it doesn't work.

While we are all here, is FR slow lately, or is it just something wrong on my end?

Heavy usage. Jim and John are aware.

You were the guy who always put the <font color="white"> tags in there, weren't you?

Another reason why I don't mind multiple thread postings is that it brings topics to light that i may not have even thought to discuss..... anyway- I'm sure this is the bazillionth time this was mentioned.

If the "close tags" thing hadn't been fixed, can you imagine the havock that trolls could have caused?

"Don't use keywords for searching, it doesn't work."


Okay...then why do you have "KEYWORD" as a search choice???

I am confused.

On FR's home page search function on the left sidebar I have been able to use keywords for a search (I think)

Probably.

Did you bother to do a search, first?
