Free Republic Update: My Comments (Pings), System Upgrade and Spelling and Time Zone Breakage

[Syncro]

Here is your answer:

He’s also planning on rebuilding the mail system. The one we have now was just a quick and dirty he threw together one night and never got around to refining.

He didn’t know at the time that it would be so popular. He had to disable the by sender feature because it was killing system performance. He’s going to redesign the database and add lots more features to the mail system as he rebuilds it.

For example, he wants each user to be able to download their mail boxes so they can manage them off line and purge the older stuff from FR. He also wants to allow “party line” multiple user freepmail so three or more people can carry on a private conversation and all parties invited are sharing the same “freepmail” thread.

That by sender thingie was great. I used it before it disappeared 'cause I needed to save some smokin' hot FR mails(LOL yep) to counter balance false statements posted by some ex-FR members.

I do know a method for finding old FR mails if you want to know I'll FR mail you.

Oh and if the scenario above is not done by the next picnic, I'm bringing ants!

That would be grate!! That's exactly what I have been wanting!

LOL. Hey, I've got some kinda smokin' hot mail too (well, maybe slightly warm mail, LOL), problem is.....I don't know where the heck it is. It's buried under years of other mail. :-(

Oh, yes, please share. I'd be interested to know how you are doing that.

Wow. Thanks for that link Meg33. I’ve been on FR a little over a year and a half and am still trying to figure stuff out.:)

[MEG33]

Me,too! Glad to help.

Have the FR Polls been removed, misplaced, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Pending clean up. Something in the code was causing the web server to spontaneously combust. But only occasionally.

Hi John, can you tell me why our “in forum” posting history has changed?

The first page has all the most recent, then next page goes way back, to the beginning of our signup dates, but no in between?

What am I doing wrong? Not sure how to navigate now.

Thanks!
