The funny thing was she rarely posted anything meaningful. She was just kinda . . . . here. You know?

I've often wondered if she came back under a different user name, but I've yet to run across any new posters with quite as many spelling, punctuation and grammar errors as she frequently had.

My cable is moving it like molasses, too. And I can't search on posters I like.

Exactly!


What a Cluster Fu*k!

I just came on FR, blinked hard and then saw this thread title . I could easily guess what it was about. Dittos to all that are cussing. Is nothing sacred anymore?

This new style will work ONLY if we can have our SIDEBARS back! Like people who don't have much time have said, they make it easy to scan for what is important! I tried to subscribe to the sidebars, but they are not showing up!

C'mon, John - it seems not many like your latest toy.

For sure!!!

I certainly don't need 'Missouri' info at the top of my pages.

I read the St.Louis Post Dispatch for that. It's a nuisance and takes up a fourth of the page.

I still haven't found 'USO Canteen. : (

This thread is going to get deleted if it turns into a **** trip down memory lane.

Honest.

Hey, at least we've stopped complaining about the new format!

Don't worry, you don't have to physically move. The FR "refresh" button was always redundant with the I.E. "refresh" button anyway.

Careful, when you post on this thread, you get put on a list.

See my post #275. It shows you how.

Did Vicente Fox become the site operator last night?

I think so. This site scrolls like an old Mexican dirt road.

It must be a nightmare on a dial up!.

It is. A self search takes four minutes and freezes me up so I can't do anything else (I connect at 56K). Lastest posts is extremely difficult to read (the right hand side is unreadable) and it too takes minutes to load. Been on 30 minutes this morning and I've been able to read one thread (this one). I can't see newbies doing anything but coming here and clicking off. It is a real shame. FR was the place to go for up to the minute news and comment. If anyone comments on my comments, don't expect a reply. I may never see it.

Well, they done gone and broke what was working so well. Looks like software design might accomplish what the WP/LAT lawsuits could not. I for one will be forced to spend a lot less time there.

You see, I like to freep occasionally at my cubicle at work. The old FR was very clean, so it made it a lot less obvious that it was 'not work'. This design is obviously 'not work'.

Plus, cleaner designs are always more successful designs. Go to the Yahoo home page. Lots of links, very clean, no graphics, maximum use of space with little by way of glitz. Yahoo is one of the most successful pages on the web. Drudge report is another example: Plain font, many links, very clean. It is visited daily by more than 1,000,000 people.

I do not predict that FR will have the growth that it used to have. And I will reluctantly be forced to stay away during work hours at least.

There are a lot of bad features to this new look and a lot of good ones, too.

I'm sure John is using this thread for feedback and will implement some new user suggestions (Not those suggestions! Those have already been deleted.) and delete some functions that prove to be either untenable or just so user unfriendly that folks can't get the hang of them.

What the heck, most of us didn't know the first thing about HTML when we landed here and now we're whizzing around posting pics, changing fonts, etc.

Hope somebody answers the question of where classy has gone. Suspect many folks have her picture in their hard drive.

Yeah, whatever happened to her?
