Once this is done, the ‘New Posts to You’ feature will begin acting as it always had.
Okay, that worked!
Now... 
where do I go to make the Klintons and their Years disappear?

Thanks for that. I followed your advice and it worked. You’re a genius! ;^)
:-)
Wooohooo!
After you hit “MORE” at the bottom of a Topic in the side bar, then hit “Click to show more articles ...”, it goes to 2003 threads.
Also, after replying to a FReemail, it doesn't show “REPLIED”

” You’re a genius! ;^) “
Not me!! (”If nominated, I will not run - if elected, I will not serve”)
John Robinson is the genius, here — I just happened to be paying attention when he posted the ‘fix’ announcement on yesterday’s Kvetch-fest thread... ;~)
I am not a geek either, so--
I left click on "New posts to you" and I get the "New posts to you" page. I right click and get the normal options from 'Open' down to 'Properties' but NO ‘clear pings’ option.
Now, tell me, where in the heck is this ‘clear pings’ option you say I am to click on and fix it?
BTW I do not like all this change as it makes the way I used the old FR all different. I cannot search for other FReepers' posts and instead of headers on new posts, I can only go through the threads in order they were posted.
This may be heaven for you geeks, but it is hell for us normal users!!!
ditto for me too. Have checked repeatedly, and even used different computers... still bright red, despite no new posts in the last several hours.
Great work as usual, Jim. Two comments (not particularly about the recent changes)
1. If I carefully fill out a new post in News/Activisim, sometimes I discover to my dismay I’ve put it into the wrong category (e.g., a URL from TypePad). I get a warning that I’ve goofed, but then, POOF, all my work is gone.
2. Should “Hot Topics” be updated and expanded? The Anthrax Scare is 7 year old news and has died away. I would certainly rank AGW at the top of the Hot Topics.
Sounds good.
Thanks for the note.

AND Re: ‘Mark All as Read’ is just another step one has to remember to take.
Yes, IF, I repeat IF, one (not a geek) knows where this magical ‘Mark All as Read’ option IS?????
I like the New Comments section again - I didn’t like the way that it completely cleared out all comments after clicking the “Clear All Comments” link. This way is much better. I also like the “greening” of comments by me - I guess if FR were to ever “go green” that’s the method I’d like it to use, LOL. :) Anyway, keep up the good work, you guys are doing great!
Comments/ping page.
Some (many) entries show “New post to you”, but it doesn’t show the heading of the original thread. Others show the original thread title and not “New post to you”.
“New post to you” is confusing without the original thread title, because one doesn’t know what threat subject the “new post” refers to.
That’s cool! I wish mine did that!
Go back to your forum page. Click on ‘Account’ at the very top of the page, then ‘My Preferences’. Scroll down to the section ‘Pings’ and select ‘Automatic’.
Once this is done, the ‘New Posts to You’ feature will begin acting as it always had.
Finally!!!!!!!
Thanks, Unk!!!!
Okay, that worked!

It's called a bar. Start a tab, find a dark corner where you won't be bothered, and dream away. That's the only way I can think of for that problem.
Thxs John!
