Didn't want you to miss the thread.

look at the DU site

No need to set the bar that low.

Bare with me, I'm blonde! *L*

Did you really mean "bare with me"? I'd be happy to, but I suspect that you meant "bear with me" and I wouldn't want to embarass myself unnecessarily.

also - self search has no way to move to other types of displays.

Hopefully that ability to do so will be returning to the forum.

I've posted articles about a dozen times. I tried yesterday, with the new format, and it just wouldn't post. What's with that?

I'm a retired engineer. There was an expression in my field, when engineers kept tweaking and tweaking a system. It was "Shoot the engineer and ship the system". Appropriate here?

Heck it's after midnight here, and I'm on painkillers (tooth infection)...so who knows what I meant! *LOL*

What is it telling you when you attempt to post an article and it won't post?

I don't like the new format either. I don't like switching between forums to see the latest posts. I wish I there was an option to view *all* latest posts on *all* forums.

The new format isn't nearly as user-friendly as the old one IMHO.

Just my $0.02.

That can't be said too often.

We've had this feature for years-- it is how the private FAB forum and private Moderator forum are implemented.

[Willie Green]

Those must be the forums #2 and #3 that are "skipped" for the rest of us I suppose.

Thanks for the reply!

It's telling me that posting an article is not as straight-forward as it once was. Is that progress?

I repeat: Shoot the engineer and ship the system.

Have you access to Rebel Yell? It'll stop the pain, one way or the other.

[christine]

i prefer the old format as well. in fact, i still really miss the 'taglines' that we used to have way back when!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I LOVE FREE REPUBLIC!!!

These changes are wonderful! Everything that was here before is still here PLUS a bunch of really cool extras! (except for the ability to see ALL articles/replies, which I'm sure you'll fix - hehe)

It looks pretty, it's functional, it's clean, and it's free!

FR just keeps getting better. THANK YOU JIM AND JOHN!

WOW!!!!!

[TangoLimaSierra]

Oops that should be 'bear with me', right?

Dangit! Putting clothes back on. (grumble grumble)
