Free Republic

Just a suggestion for the FR powers that be (do we have a suggestion box?): Can another posting section be added below "Title of Thread", such as "description", "subject" or "sub-title"? I have noticed many duplicate postings are due not as much from failure to search, as failure to use original article titles in favor of a more descriptive thread. I think there is a place for both, and currently many posters will put their descriptive/subject text in parentheses after the title. Unfortunately this is not common practice and not defined as proper method although it obviously allows searches to...

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST. I have a photoshopped .jpg I want to post to Free Republic. But it is something only on my PC, not with a pre-existing web address, which I would already know how to link to. Any help appreciated... Full Disclosure: Or, if anyone has instructions for a low-cost photo hosting site, that'd be a 2nd best.

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since we had a refresher course on the posting guidelines. We've had a lot of newbies sign up. Welcome Aboard! The more the merrier! And it doesn't hurt you longtimes to re-read this. As always, we're here to help. Ask questions, we'll do our best to answer. Are you ready maggot? SEARCH If it's a breaking news topic, check breaking news first, it's probably already posted. Check the breaking news sidebar first. Don't try to be the first one with the story, you've already been beaten by about eight threads. To avoid duplicate posts, please...

Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two...

I've noticed that there appeared to be more postings to go through on weekdays. So I got the Alexa Daily Reach graph and used Excel to overlay weekends as red bars for Saturday and Sunday. The resulting graph is below. (Postings would have been better but I didn't know where to find that data.)

<p>We've had many new folks join up recently. Welcome aboard, this thread is a gentle reminder of some basic posting guidelines. (And for some of you old timers as well) Please read the follow, and ask any questions. We will all try to help you out. Anyone who has a link that might be useful, feel free to post it.</p>

When posting to the message board at http://www.ksszfm.com/ the paragraphs are often strung together. My question here is how do I block and separate the paragraphs in my post? This message board could use some help if any of you freepers have time. There are some real anti-Christian bigots that often post vile messages.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 notebook and don't know anything about cut,copy,and paste and all that stuff! Any help would be appreciated.

I am new to FR and blogging in general and am trying to figure out how to add photos to posts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can someone tell me why a quote from Bloomberg.com can't or shouldn't be posted here?

Vanity, but should be required by all "newbs" before posting. They then must take a test afterwards before posting. :) Posting and you...

Well?

<p>Deer are a boon and a benefit to my neighborhood. While city planners are busy destroying the beauty of our town, deer have moved in to beautify it. These handsome and harmless citizens should be declared sacred, like their cousins in India. Deer to not cause accidents -- people do. Deer are victims of the evil and ever burgeoning automobile population. Driven by reckless fanatics, cars are noisy, polluting killers of all manner of wildlife, including people.</p>

Well how do I post pics I have never done it on Freerepublic. Any help would be great. Thanks Veloxherc

Hello! I've been a FReeper for 2 1/2 years, and modestly stated, I think a pretty good one. However, I've never quite figured out how to post pics and HTML links here. Yes, I've looked at the Help Page here, but still can't grasp it. This is one of my New Year's resolutions. I'm somewhat computer literate, and I have the book, "Learning HTML in 24 Hours." (The title of this book is a lie, by the way). Can anyone give a hand to a fellow FReeper?? Happy New Year!!!

for those of us that are not so pc literate, can someone tell me how you do the special text functions, like italic, underline and boldface, that and pasting graphics in the body of the thread

I'm looking for some help here. I've been on FR for about two months now, and I would like to start posting photos and graphics with some of my comments. I know that these need to be on a dedicated server to be viewed by others. My ISP offers 10 Mb of space for authoring personal Web pages, storage, etc., but I have reservations about using this for linking to graphics postings on FR. The address of my Web space is listed under my user name, and I'm afraid that some DisrUptor could right click on a graphic, look at...

Forgive me if this is viewed as a useless vanity posting. I don't believe it is. I have discovered a way to search Free Republic for any word that is 3 letters or less. As you may or may not know, the FR search function doesn't work on words that are less than 4 letters. The way to do this is simple. First go to Google. The word "site" followed by a colon enables you to restrict your search to a specific site. To do this, use the site:sampledomain.com syntax in the Google search box. For example, to find all...
