John, can you put the color back in the way it was? The text boxes are starting to look like a newspaper. Thanks. Otherwise, thanks for the ingenious revisions. Hopefully, someday I'll understand what they're all about.

Thanks John, I like a lot of the changes, I'm sure you'll get it just right and then we'll all get used to it.

As I said before, it would be great if the Self Search function would:
1. allow an option to show first 100 words or so of each reply on the Self Search reply screen, allowing one to not waste bandwidth and time to go see what's there and its just a bump.

2. When you select a reply on the Self Search reply screen, give a choice to go to the Top, the the Post that was being replied to, or the actual Reply itself. If you think about it, there are times when all three are appropriate and it would be better if you could select the right choice from the Self Search replies screen.

I predict that the new unlimited To: field length will greatly increase the # of pings on FR, a lot of which will be nuisance pings. Everyone will develop their little ping clique and send lots of things to all of them. The hassle of it all is what stops people from doing this now. You have eliminated the hassle.

Becasue of this last point, the number of messages each active Freeper is going to be getting pinged to is going to increase a lot. So, the tools I describe in 1,2 above would greatly help and reduce required bandwidth.

Thanks and feel free to ask questions if i'm not making sense. FReegards, RobFromGa

I was just experimenting with it, updated my FReep list, and it's working superb -- what an awesome tool. Many thanks, John.
