Not if you are on your “user posts” that doesn’t include posts TO you. I have looked and there is NO brief and full there....or wasn’t earlier tonight.

It takes less time to find a particular post I have done if
I can go to that format rather than pages of posts to AND from me. Sounds pretty selfish, but sometimes when I do music on the Canteen, I loose my place. LOL!

On the PING page you can. On the USER post page, you can’t....or couldn’t an hour ago.

Yep....I am addicted to the 50s it seems! LOL!

I know you must be cross-eyed and dizzy.
Thanks so much for all your hard work.

I’m totally lost on the search function.

If I type in “by username: (and the poster’s name)”, nothing
happens.

And this is the text above the search page:

“Search Words to be found in article titles.”

A poster’s name would not fit that, and nothing comes up.

Help!! Honestly, I think the way you had search
before with the dropdowns poster, title, etc. was
more effective and very much easier to navigate.
I know I and many others use the search function
constantly, both to catch up with FRiends and to
search for article titles.

Thanks again for any help you can offer.

The sidebar font is too big. We’re doomed.

Any chance the “By Sender” feature in FReepmail will be fixed soon? I used to find that to be really helpful... thanks.

I think it would be nice if every page (even inside of threads like this one) had the nav bar on the right side, because that way we wouldn’t have to navigate to get to articles

Now I feel just the opposite of that.

I like the clean look of a thread with out any distractions on the side or anywhere.

That's why I don't like websites with ads and sidebars on each side etc.

Just my likes and dislikes. Clean threads is what I like, just the comments.

I agree that serif text is much easier to read. Also I found I have to downsize my type to fit the sidebar in, but then the text of the articles is too small to read. I have to go back & forth editing text size.

I’d kind of like for “replies” to be the default view again since I use FR from several different computers.

But that’s my only complaint. The rest is goodness!

Look in the sidebar.
Next to each forum is a post button.

I don't mind the changes except that I

HATE

that you can't use the search function to browse posts by individual members anymore. Now, if I want to view posts by my favorite FR posters, I have to click....on.....each....post.....and the process takes three or four times the time it used to.

Why on earth did you change that? That's just stupid.

New fonts on right side column of items is too small for my aged eyes-—oh wel, I can live without reading them-—you pay the bill, you can do as you wish

OIC what you mean

Sorry, you are right.

LOL, I never looked at just my posts like that!

I’d probably get mad at me....LOL

You can snag 'em in your sleep, girl:) LOL.

Ahhh, now I see what you mean, oh drat. Btw, it's John Robinson who started this thread and made the forum changes:)

In light of these changes, I am hoping that my pings page, in its "fullness," doesn't always fall off the right side of the screen....??

Hoping hard here.

Overall looks good, John, but I noticed that the sidebar links no longer open in the slave browser window like they used to.
