[John Robinson]

What do you think? Suggestions, comments, complaints?

Need a way to search from here......http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/

[SpaceBar]

Put me in the "I liked it the old way" category. The only feature I'd like to see added is a useful date constraint on searches.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Suggestions, comments, complaints?

Yeah. Vicious, hateful, spiteful people keep posting Helen Thomas pics. Can you take them out and whack their pee pee's?

Thanks!!

[BlueDragon]

Working on an edit button...

Careful, now...
There are good reasons for not be able to edit, after posting. Some folks would play games, and go back to change their wordings, delete a statement or two, just because they are competitive in their fierce argumentativeness.

It can be bad enough as it is, with some folks twisting words around, and inventing/claiming things others supposedly, but did not say.

An edit button with a link to revisions maybe? Sounds clunky...so maybe that's too much?

Regardless, whatever changes you make --- you can change back, or change again, if you don't fully like the results.

[Sir Gawain]

When can we see FR stats working again?

[Redbob]

Changes that happened just now?

Looks like some web page designer just had too much time on his hands, and no clear idea what he wanted to do with it.

In a word (two words actually), “No good.”

[Kurt Evans]

"What do you think?"

It's good to let go of the past.

Congressman Duncan Hunter's endorsement of Governor Huckabee is helping to bring defense and border conservatives on board:
"I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter... "Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity."

Huckabee - Hunter '08

[La Enchiladita]

Cannot search for a posters comments easily as far as I can see..

Whom are you stalking?
J/K;^)

[Redbob]

OK, let me be more specific: legibility of the sidebars really SUX!

[Liberty Valance]

Q:How many people does it take to change a light bulb in Austin?

A: 10. One to change the lightbulb and 9 to tell you how cool the old one used to be.

[PGalt]

Thanks John Robinson for all of your behind the scenes work over the years.

[glock rocks]

You have light bulbs in Austin?

[fish hawk]

I know, my daughter has one but on the good side, she bites everyone but me. I guess she knows I'm the only grampa she will ever have. LOL

Dear John,
I love you. But.....
FreeRepublic opens everyday is a good day. Congratulations for change! Just keep us running.

[KoRn]

I like the changes. The tabs are great, and I also like the color shading on the links on the right side of the page.

[tubebender]

John didn’t change anything. Reboot your mac.

And how do I do that?

[em2vn]

Tabs, where?
I’m a conservative. Don’t mess with something that works well. I don’t like the new format.

[Syncro]

Are those links gonna appear again at the top of the comments page?

Is it possible to see the number of views a thread gets like it was before? It's very helpful to gauge the interest in a subject

[Tigercap]

Absolutely LOVE it. Love the options. Personally, I like the “comments” view generally.
New font looks better too!

[gidget7]

Earlier today, which I assume now was transition, I wasn’t sho sure, but now? Looks great!
