I have tried to search for some of these older articles. Maybe they are no longer available. For example: Catholic ProLifers under attack by McCain From a historical perspective, it is an interesting article. One problem I am finding is that vanity articles may not be accessable... When I try to access such an article, it comes up with: No such file (give_legacy_article) Just curious if there is a way for ol' timers to access the archives? There are much more important things to be done at Free Republic. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2020628/posts#comment Sat, 24 May 2008 09:59:58 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2006319/posts Yesterday all was fine, today, on FreeRepublic and only on FreeRepublic.

How do I get it back? It searches by poster, keyword, etc. (I would search for this search engine but have no engine to search with) Also, I don't have any of the subject links that use to be on top of the page, and the one link that allows me how to add what headings to the side bar is half way off the page. Aside, from that this is a great place and I would appreciate the help! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1982347/posts#comment Sat, 8 Mar 2008 06:50:53 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1979310/posts The forum page is really cleaned up.

I will detail it and suggest a fix for users until the management fixes it. In the meantime, you are free to throw cheese and find a moose for me. When a search for a name in an article is made (examples: Bush, Clinton or sheriff), 20 titles are brought up with the search parameter.

When I click on the link to PINGS, which displays all my comments and all comments made to me, the text no longer wraps. Each paragraph is a long line of text and the browser has a horizontal scroll bar. Is there a configuration setting in FR where I can fix this? It doesn't happen on any other website and no other FR page except the MY COMMENTS page.

I open FR and get this: http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm OK, great. I can just hit post. But here is the problem, first I want to make sure that what I want to post hasn't bee posted yet.

Named after the country’s first Chief of Naval Operations, the late Adm. Sohn Won-il, the 214-Type submarine will play a key role in securing sea lanes for transporting energy supplies and other goods, as well as extending the Navy’s operation range, Commander Jung Sung-yup told The Korea Times. ``The launch of the 214-Type submarine will give our naval capability a great boost and help safeguard our maritime interests,’’ Jung said,...

I am trying to locate articles regarding the Coast Guard for the first six months of 2004.
