FR Feature - Hover over posters ID
self | 3/6/2018 | Super7man

I just noticed that if you hover over a posters ID, it shows you how long they've been here. Cool!

Is this new?

It’s been there a long time, maybe since 2000 or 2001.

I see you’ve only been here a little over 12 years.

Used to be the number of views on a thread would display as well as the number of replies.

Was helpful in getting a read on how interested people were on the topic and whether related articles were worth posting.

Wonder why mine doesn’t work? I’m a pretty decent hoverer. :)

Hovering = Stalking. Best be careful there ....

In the early days, we had quite a few trolls. At first, FR was small enough that everyone trusted each other without question; some really devious trolls were able to exploit this and as a result caused a lot of strife and confusion; that was when FR started to really grow rapidly, in 1999 and 2000.

There was a lot of discussion back then about how to detect them, and probably the most visible outcome of that discussion was Jim's thoughtful addition of the "member since" float-over feature.

For a while there was also a "total views" feature for each story, but I think that took too much server bandwidth to keep current, so it was dropped.

Makes me wish I hadn’t lurked for two years before signing up. I’ve often thought of bribing JR to give me that cool AF 1998 born-on date.

Lurked for years before signing up. Got interested during Billy Jeff's perversity...er...Presidency.

I wonder how different the political climate would be without our Free Republic?

Must be too early and no coffee yet. Until I read replies I thought he was talking about top 10 most wanted posters. Are they even at the post office anymore? I never go because it is federali property.

“For a while there was also a “total views” feature for each story, but I think that took too much server bandwidth to keep current, so it was dropped.”


That feature was great for gauging interest in topics, but also created a little embarrassment for FR, IMO.

You’d have “Judge Suspends Sentence in Pro-life Trespassing Debacle” with 3 views and 1 reply.

And “Pamela Anderson Talks Lingerie” with 700 views and 158 replies.

I wish there were still a way to see our FReeper member number. IIRC, I was 1100-something.

Click on their name and you can see their entire posting history.

And if you click on yours you can see your own.

You can also add a personal biography.
