[John Robinson]

What do you think? Suggestions, comments, complaints?

[KateUTWS]

I like it John, good job!

[eyedigress]

I am moving around at ease now, good work on the site. The links at the bottom of the thread are very convienent.

LoL...

[null and void]

He’s the long lost brother of John Galt...

[skinkinthegrass]

WOW! :)

[bamahead]

Will there ever be a “hit counter” again on threads to see how many individuals have read that particular story?

I liked that feature as well.

I'm not a computer expert but maybe if you try to clear your cache, that might help.

Opening each message to see if it’s chaff or not takes a horrible amount of time. Especially with years worth of FREEPMAILS.

I have started deleting them after reading them more often, though.

I’m a recovering packrat.

How do you do a search by poster? Why can’t I get the comment page to come on automatically like it used to? I do like the new format but wish the comment page would open automatically like it used to.

I approve these changes. Honest!

[La Enchiladita]

Never mind, I found out how to do that.

Click on “More” in top right corner and “Review” shows up on the Personal Menu page.

I would like to see the Keywords at the bottom and let Breaking go a little higher up. When I sign on at work (on breaks of course ;o))I check breaking. I never use the keywords section, but if some do, I would prefer it not be one of the first things I see.

Aside from that, looks nice.

[HiJinx]

First quick glance, looks....ummmm...different!

Actually, not bad. Someone just asked on another thread where the search function is. I’ve already found two instances of it, so that’s not bad.

I guess some folks have a need for change, and others can’t stand it!

Love the new sidebar format. Much more compact and easier to read.

[cgk]

FReeper John Robinson made it, and everyone's is different. Basically, it's a summary of every topic you have added to the sidebar; every forum you have subscribed to. Have you ever seen that little notation at the top of pages to "add to sidebar"? Those subscriptions are what show up on your Review page. After you have added some forums, you can manage them by going to the top right of your FR page and click More. That is how I always made it work, anyway. I use this as my FReeRepublicRoundup. My husband thinks it is way too much to look at, all at once.

[Bob J]

John, how does the “activity” feature sort?

[cgk]

And this new version is just SWEET, and so much easier to read. Before it was just a whole page of links with no borders or defined sections. This is much more manageable.

[cgk]

whoops, sorry! looks like we overlapped comments. :)

[Syncro]

Well that does pose a problem.

I was thinking along the lines of making two lists of FR mail messages by FR poster name . Chaff and not Chaff.

Then all the ones under Chaff could be deleted.

Chaffity is a virtue or so they say

[glock rocks]

If I could delete the Popular Keywords bar, I would. With prejudice.
