7 Days ago FRee Republic had a make over, how do you like it so far?

Last Saturday free republic changed to beta format for it's web site design and the crowd went mad. Many loved the new site design and others hated the new site design.

Now that the dust has settled and a week has passed. How do you like it now?

This is a question and opinion thread. Thanks!

interesting thoughts from freepers on this thread.

The old format was so much easier to use, although if I take the time to figure out the new format, apparently I will appreciate the new features.

Question: by showing the entire article in self-search, isn't that a costly, repetitive waste of space?

[Angelique]

I forgot...I miss the old topics listings. It was more extensive, and easier to find what one was looking for.

I'd like to see an ability to create styles of views, each of which could contain whatever combinations of forums and article classifications one desired, in long, brief, or superbrief format, etc. www.halfbakery.com does a very nice job of providing such a feature.

In your upper right hand corner (in self-search) is the ability to show the "Full" message, or "Brief" which only shows the Title, etc.

Style sheets will be in the final version... if you go to the Beta site now, you can see a few of the ones already done.

How do I get those State announcements to stay away??? I have gone to the page I don't know how many times, to get off the list, but it still always comes back. What am I doing wrong?

[TLBSHOW]

I don't know why. But there are some real interesting things a foot here. And from what I can see, the more we talk about it the better it keeps getting. Free Republic is the best.

[TLBSHOW]

I click onto NY State and it goes away for me.

bump for post 121 and 122

[hawkk]

I have done that many times, but it keeps coming back. But ty.

I hate it when I click “browse,” “post,” actually any change of menu and it gives me the blank DONE page. Sometimes it works when reloading and sometimes it double posts.

Didn’t notice a difference before that.

Things are a bit slow. It took that post 6 1/2 years to go through.

[madison10]

LOL It just did it now when I clicked to see the comment. My patience is already wearing thin with this election stuff...

[madison10]

Dang, it can’t you turn the machine to “MOVE?” :)

[MARTIAL MONK]

TLBSHOW has been gone since before the Iraq War and he’s still getting responses.

ROFL Oh.
