Today was the first day of the ‘hush money’ trial in New York, and President Trump has already made an interesting, calculated move. In an unusual maneuver, Trump is requesting to personally join sidebar discussions. Typically, these are private, off-the record conversations between the judge and attorneys. They often contain sensitive or intimate information that they don’t want the jury or public to hear. CNN had this to say about sidebars during the hush money trial: The historic trial of former President Donald Trump is expected to include a lot of objections and sidebars, sources told CNN chief legal affairs...

I need help. I use Brave as my primary browser for privacy reasons. While I was watching a game this evening, the computer arbitrarily decided to take my taskbar and tabs from the top andn put them on the left side of the screen. How do I put it back the way it was?

Try as I may, I cannot delete a bookmark from my sidebar.Also is there a help file?

Achtung! Don't mess with sidebars ("Configure Sidebar") for a few days. Some of the queries you may end up configuring will prevent you from accessing the site. As a work around I have reset the sidebars for everybody -- to be restored once the erroneous queries can be rewritten -- when I have the brains to do so (zzz) --- zzz (as a consequence, any changes you end up making will be obliterated once the great restoration of the glorious sidebar preferences is undertaken.)

Can't find the debate thread. Can someone post it please. Thanks

Sources tell NEWS 8 that Dallas Police Headquarters is under a lockdown Saturday afternoon due to a threat that is being 'taken seriously' by police. The lockdown was put into place shortly after 4 p.m. DPD SWAT has been deployed to headquarters, sources say.

O.K. I admit it. I'm a big fan of Sarah, especially after her appearance on Hannity last night. So when I'm away from the computer for awhile and want to see if there are new threads about her, I have always clicked "Keyword: Palin" in the "Popular Keywords" sidebar block.Well, I have decided to configure my sidebar to display the ten most recent threads about her. It took a bit of head scratching about how to do it, so when I figured it out, I decided to share the really easy but somewhat obscure (for a dunce like me) procedure....

Need some help.... I want to add a new Block (a keyword Block) to my Manage Blocks page, but can't figure out how to do it. I've done it in the past -- I've had a "Keyword: banglist" Block for a long time -- but the layout of the Manage Blocks page appears to have changed since I last did this. Many thanks in advance.

For the last week I have had problems with how slow FR main pages (News/General/etc) are loading, and loading with NO side-bar. Additionally, when I use the refresh feature with any of the main pages, over 50% of the time the software freezes and I have to close the site using Control/Alt/Delete function as it is unresponsive to normal exiting. I have Windows 98SE, IE v.6.0.26. My system is defragged, Temp files deleted, and cookies deleted. I have uninstalled Pop-Ad Stopper recently installed (thinking that might be the problem) but am still using a recent installation of Ad-Aware. Has anyone...
