Free Republic

FR is acting weid. Why after going to the News| Actvism foruwm, does each POS on the form page show Post Reply| Prvate Reply|To #|View Repies..., only forum page??? The Spell tab is gone as well.

I've been having problems loading pages on Freerepublic for over a week. I thought it was just my connection (I live in the sticks and use a my-fi ATT hotspot for all my internet. However, I have the exact same problem at my work computer in downtown Louisville on a high speed corporate network. The problem manifests itself at least two ways: 1. Pages take so long to load that they timeout and I get a "page reset" message. 2. A partial page loads (often just the first line or two) and then eventually the rest starts showing up in...

<p>1. has functions which are easy to see/find and invoke 2. allows easier upload of pictures 3. that allows email notification of replies to comments 4. that allows editing after a comment is posted 5. that has text editing features so one doesn't need to know HTML code in order to add emphasis. 6. that has a Search function for previous posts 7. that is easier to navigate to the specialty forums such as "Gods, Graves, Glyphs", which, had it not been mentioned in a random post, I never would have found here on FR.</p>

Tried to check my pings without signing on and the SEARCH feature would not drop to USER. Anyone else having problems with this?

I'm looking for Free Republic post editing software. I just upgraded to a new computer with the same OS and loaded the Tree Viewer and Quote maker but the post editing software that showed up before no longer does. Being able to add images or just do simple things like bold or italicize a word is huge and frankly common to all forums these days. Anyone have a link to a working post editing addon for Firefox?

I'm using Firefox, also IE, I think a moose ate it while I was in the shower. Thanks in advance.

Is there going to be a Freeper Inaugural Ball? I'd be happy to help organize, etc.

I tried to post an article about the death of Tyson Gay's daughter, and it was apparently pulled because the title of the post was only a portion of the original. Trouble is, the original title was too long to fit (way over 100 characters). What the heck? Can it only be posted as a vanity that will be largely ignored? Mods or others PLEASE advise!

Click "Headers" on the main index page: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index Click "Account" on that same page and then "My Preferences:" http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/my/ Click "20 messages per page" and "20 results per page." You can also click on "Manage Blocks" on the preferences page and temporarily disable some of your sidebars. You can change them back later. Good luck.

I googled and was told FR was up, but maybe not for me. When I sign in/in ... I get the FR latest posts splash page but "your inquiry returned no results"It's almost 5PME here and it has been down since around 330I attempted a freepmail and I think it went through so this problen may be just the main pageI'm confused

This keeps happening on and off and it's driving me crazy. When I click on someone's name to find their comment history - either with a search on "user", or going to their profile page and clicking "in forum", I see one page of comments. Then when I click on "next page", I am taken to the page of articles they've posted. It's important to be able to see peoples' posting history sometimes - looking for a specific comment, or on a thread, or checking for trollhood either with comment tone/topic, or posting history. I was just now looking up...

May 2nd 2016 I was banned from FR for criticizing FR. Suddenly my account is active again. What happened? I post this in news/activism only because someone may have an answer and my account is "too new" to allow me to email Jim Rob to find out.

What's going on with the postings at FR? The last comment of every thread is being posted instead of the original post.

So I had commented on an article where the nyt I think, was picking apart trumps debt and insinuating that his acceptance of loans from box/GS was somehow a horrible thing for a presidential nominee to do. I surfed for a bit and wanted to read what others had written. The topic is completely gone, my comment isn't listed in pings.(my comment was 'and if it was Hillary they'd say the 950 million annual debt from boc/GS was covered plus xx% by annual leases' and then 'remember when Hillary stole priceless antiques from the wh so she could eat like...

I've looked all over and I cannot find a way to be banished from this site.

Anyone else lose their sidebar? Mine disappeared, can't get it back.

I turn off CNN or FOX when they get nauseatingly anti-Trump. I just don't have time for the bullsnot. So I come to FR for relief. A bastion of conservatism in the heart of America. But there's a problem. I'm starting to see more Anti-Trump stuff here than I see on FOX or CNN or anywhere else. This will hurt FR, badly, if JR doesn't fix it. Thinking people come here to avoid the urine and feces everywhere else. Let's not latrine this place up too much, especially in obeisance to the false god of "publishing the news..." If it's...

I'm curious to know the number of threads and replies of our Free Republic audience. I wager that there are many amongst us who have started over 500 threads or have logged over 100,000 replies. There might be some who have exceeded 1000 threads and some with over 200,000 replies.

Working with Jim to find out why I am having a problem staying logged in.

Are all posts to FR being reviewed ..comments also
