There's your political humor. Laugh it up now. :-)
Serious. At the moment all forums are listed on the left-hand sidebar. That will change, you will be able to add and remove forums from the left-hand sidebar at a later time. Free Republic will be more like an all-conservative Yahoo. It might be a little confusing at first, but we'll work this out soon enough.
Truer words were never spoken!
Seriously,though, when I click on any of the forums on the main left sidebar (I assume you're referring to the home page sidebar) it doesn't work, it used to, just doesn't take me to the requested forum anymore.
