This thread is not truly a duplicate post since many of us on the west coast would have never seen the original posted so early! :)
I guess 4:53 PM is a little early for one to be up.
I didn’t realize that FreeRepublic functioned differently on the West Coast.
Over here on the East Coast, under the Articles tab, I am able to press “Next Page” at the top of the list of articles.
That displays the previous articles. I can then keep doing that...pressing “Next Page”...until I can go back to the last article I read from previous day.
I would contact Jim and find out why you don’t have that feature on the West Coast. It is very handy.
Maybe you are not logged on or it doesn’t show up if you haven’t made a donation.
