Then I'll sometimes say "Bad! Bad posting bot!"
They never listen.

Hey Freepers,
I have Breaking News on the left and Front Page News on the right. I used to follow activism but since the days of Walter Reed and then Trump Rallys, just not seeing much content, which is WRONG!
"Articles", all the time.
I've only been out here since '98, so looking for more advanced set ups.
Some people find and post to articles that are days old.
I have no idea how they find older relevant content.
Feel like I'm not getting the most our of my account settings.
Interested in how you all do it.
Maybe a Best FRractices guide could come out of this to help the not so smart me and maybe the next generation of Freepers?
Best,
Eddie01
Today sort by article.
Back in 98 it was sort by activity - ie by posts including responses.
That way you could follow the discussions easier.
Click “everything” under ‘browse forum’. then you don’t miss anything :)
I do mine with grace and aplomb...
would you like some cheese?
I joined in 2001 and html still is not my friend.
After joining FR in 2007, I chose to master the most common HTML commands, and I did, thanks to helpful Freepers.
It really wasn't that difficult, and I've never forgotten those few codes.
I think that was pretty fresh; but nekkid is even better...
I’ve always been set for ‘everything’.
There are lots of ways to search for ‘relevant stuff’ - keywords, titles, users, or going to an individual’s profile. (Every now and then I see a response to some post of mine that goes back years, because someone has been searching my history and decides to respond to something very old.)
Also, lots of people bookmark or ping themselves to threads they want to respond to, but don’t have the time when they first see the thread; they go back to it later.
Somehow, I’m sure you know all of this...
I forced Dreamweaver to write my html for me. So much easier.
What is Dreamweaver?
Go 5o latest posts and keep refreshing until something good happens.
You’re going to refresh alot.

With a mouse in one hand and Pusser’s Rum in the other.
At least one of them is curiously quiet this week.
Dreamweaver is an older Adobe product used to make websites before anyone ever heard of blogging. It’s all in HTML , though later updates added CSS.
I looked up what was happening when I joined. It was when impeachment proceedings began against BJ clintoon.
Maybe there was a FR link on Drudge? Not sure exactly how I got here.
I think it all really started on Usenet. ClintonWhiteWater - or something like that.
At least, that’s the way I recall finally arriving here...
I still frequent usenet. It used to be the only game in town. Maybe that’s how I got here
As the Dear Departed fellow, MrConfettiMan taught us, we do something to where we can post, as he did, “I was there, Where were you>”
That is the thread he posted when he started the regular Saturday protests outside the Clinton White House and he and Dr Rauol others kept it up until the impreachment vote and later.
THAT”S Freeping.
