This is awful!

No, this is awful!
I don't know where anything is anymore!
Where are the sidebars?
I used to go straight to them
to find out
what was going on.

[veritas max]

Where's the button that gets a person back to the original thread? Reading just one person's opinion at a time doesn't do anything for communication. "This is awful!" That's it exactly.

I was around when Classy was here. Her text taught me to do this.

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

 

A Google search resulted in this:

Thank you. I am now stateless. It's come to this.

ROTFLMAO!!! I must be suffering from delerium from posting to this thread all night (haven't gone to bed yet) but that statement had me in stiches!

[ArneFufkin]

Took me three minutes to figure it out. Latest, Topics, Self ... pretty hard concepts to master.

[VadeRetro]

Thank you. I am now stateless. It's come to this.

Same here. I will once again acknowledge my state when FR stops trying to shoot me between the eyes with it atop every screen.

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

is that a warning or a threat? :>))

Solution: Civility.

Solution: Get rid of the libertarians or house break 'em. - 354 VA -

Gratuitous & idiotic generalised & personal baiting on unrelated thread. -- Solution, -- Muzzle VA.

[Drew68]

This thread is doomed now!

That picture crops out the best part!

I'm with you on this issue too Laz. The old format looked like the results from a search engine like Google. Since my monitor (and back) faces the traffic past my cube, the new format will likely draw some unwanted attention.

Bingo. I will likely be moving to a cube with less visibility, but there is no guarantee.

This format will present me no chance to do any FR during work hours.

Which is probably for the best anyways.

You are younger than I am..imagine the nightmare of trying to read the sidebars..Also is it me or can we not click on articles anymore..I can only get the responses...

This is as my grandma uesed to say "too busy"..overwhelming graphics and light print..

My cable used to load it right up..now it cries first ..it is pathetic!

Hardly simple-minded! I've designed user interfaces for over 25 years, and had them extensively reviewed by teams of professionals.

Personally I had considered the Free Republic interface and layout of last week one of the BEST examples of great user interfaces I've ever seen. Simple, effective.

Now? This current offering is all "me-too, me-too", too many graphics (grpahics -- unless they are charts -- should be able to be flagged out btw).

If there is any change I would like in FR, it would have been for personal configuration of the HTML filter. On my cell-phone hookup I would like to be able to turn off any < img > and even limit the font changes.

is that a warning or a threat? :>))

Ah, if you only knew the list that I'm on! I can tell you this much: my gender disqualifies me from any royal standing.

[Incorrigible]

I foolishly did not save her full length photo before she disappeared into the ether.

[tpaine]

Why are you two creeps turning this into another 'bash libertarian' thread?

[Geezerette]

1998? I LOVED the Whitewater format, site, or whatever you call what it was. I really had a hard time when it was gone a year or so later.

Attention Rumor Control: Latest Rumor is that Jim and John Robinson have become Pod People, and are now clones of the State. Destruction of Free Republic and it's user base is their prime directive. Mission accomplished via upgraded software rendering site useless.

Please verify.

LOL! My personal theory is that they are using this disaster to "cull the herd" of everyone but the die-hard addicts as an initial step towards becoming pay-per-view. At least, I hope that's what's going on. I'd hate to think the Robinsons merely saw this as being a good idea. Now there is a frightening thought.

[Goldi-Lox]

After exploring the new stuff, I went into my personal preferences*. There's a list of stuff there that can be tweaked for your personal preferences. SHOCK!! There's a comment that the "My Locale" is going to be changed soon to "Forums"!!!! OH NO!! NO more changes!!!

(*to get there click on your screen name in the upper right side of the screen.)

That picture crops out the best part!

You must mean the fact that the dress was so sheer that you could see the underwear. Well, I give her credit for something, at least she had on underwear.

[John Farson]

Is that why she was banned?
