Recent Changes to Free Republic

[John Robinson]

What do you think? Suggestions, comments, complaints?

[La Enchiladita]

LOL.... I remember you posting on the yahoo site one time when FR went down, having panic attack. Pore (((trussell))).

[Islander7]

Overall I like it, but the one complaint I have is the type font. I find it a little harder to read.

[La Enchiladita]

How did you tailor your “Review” page to show threads you like or have been active on?

[John Robinson]

I'd like to see that, but not sure what it will take to implement. Definately not the limited search technology we're using now, it can barely find article titles as it is. Heh. On a side note, I am playing around with a new toy, using Yahoo to perform some search functions. Try keying in yahoo:beeber stuned in the search box up top. Results are ugly looking, and I'm not sure how useful they are either. It's just a toy right now.

BWAHahahahahaha!

You did a good job.

It took me a few days to get used to it, but I am really enjoying some of the new features.

Is there a way to see the latest comments from only one topic?

Thanks.

I use the

Free Republic
Articles · Comments · Search

link on the top or bottom of each page to get back to the FR homepage. Just click the Free Republic and you go back to

Is anyone else experiencing the page jumping problem? When I open a thread, the page leaps down to the last post. It’s most annoying.

[Spunky]

Syncro, I think it was you who told a Freeper how to put in the name of a poster to find all their posts, or someone told you how. Anyway I am trying to find that posting again and I can't find it. Was it you and can you help me?

Here's my sentiments on the new forum.

[Miss Didi]

But what's the purpose of the tabs? Why Articles, Activity and Comments? And while it's a lovely lilac color, breaking news is hard to see.

[Arrowhead1952]

I don’t have that problem. Mine still opens the article like FR always has.

[Vermonter]

Works fine for me also. Using the Mac Safari browser

[fanfan]

Is RRS only available with Firefox?

[oprahstheantichrist]

I can’t read the sidebars. Fonts too tiny.

[Arrowhead1952]

Beats me. I usually click on the link in the middle of the FR home page. Everything seems to be the same from there, except the "Search" feature.

I’m staying on Forum or Articles where I won’t get lost. ;)

[fanfan]

I found it....go to the topic, and click full.

Thanks!

[AFPhys]

lol... So far it looks OK to me... Only, I was wondering at first if I was in the right place.

[Miss Didi]

I just answered my own question about the page leaping problem...if you click on the # Replies, it will take you to the last post. So it’s best not to do that...unless you like to read the last post first. ;)

[perfect_rovian_storm]

The functionality is there, but it just hasn’t been spelled out how it works on the site.

Check post 487 in this thread for an idea.
