Admin Moderator: Where is "Heated Discussion"? [in re: Alexandra Kerry at Cannes]
Free Republic ^

Posted on 05/17/2004 1:27:53 PM PDT by SlickWillard

There are a lot of new "places" on Free Republic that I can't seem to get to. Is there a new site map somewhere that explains what is going on?

About an hour ago, someone posted on the wire service photo of Alexandra Kerry at Cannes:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1137230/posts
I tried to bump it to "Breaking News" [where I think it ought to be - don't fool yourself into believing for a second that this wasn't staged for the media, just like Al thrusting his tongue down Tipper's throat at the DNC convention or Bill-N-Hill dancing on the beach in all their cellulite glory], but I can't find it on the front page, and it seems to have been moved to something called "Heated Discussion."

I find that more and more, stuff that needs to be seen is getting diverted to places where no one can find it. Has anyone written a good tutorial on "The New & Improved Free Republic and How to Navigate It?"

Inquiring minds wanna know...

My personal opinion is that Free Republic might be getting to the point where it's just a little too complicated to navigate and youse guys might wanna think about simplifying it a little.

If the election boils down to Alexandra Kerry's see-through blouse, then the Republic is in far worse shape than we all ever imagined and we're all DOOMED!

"The Smokey Backroom" has been around for quite a while.
And you've been around long enough to know better.
So why are you now so suddenly confused?

We need a "chatting about chat" area.


...just kidding.


Perhaps your thread got pulled out of BREAKING NEWS because it was more along the lines of BUSTING NEWS.


I'll stop now.

I wrote a site map thread for Free Republic about a month ago. It was great - it had links to all of the various areas, and useful stuff like that.

Then, I tried to bump it to breaking news and I havn't seen it since.

but the question remains, whose daughter would you rather go out with?

Change that to who's daughters and you have my answer.

Not to be disrespectful, but that's a good time right there.

Now let me get this straight, did you just post a vanity about how hard it is for you to find a thread but you were able to include a link to the thread in the vanity posting that says you have a hard time finding it?

How in the name of Sam Hill does her dress, or her appearance at Cannes qualify as breaking news?

Okay, someone just added the keyword "GONNABEMOVEDTOCHAT."

That just goes to prove my point: What is chat? Where is it?

I've had threads that I was following that were moved to "Chat" and I couldn't find them from scratch if you held a gun to my head.

Heck, if someone moves this thread to "Chat," then:

A) It won't get any more responses, so my question will never get answered, and

B) Even if my question did get answered, I wouldn't know because I can't find "Chat."

So could someone explain what's going on here, or get the web-dudes [John Robinson?] to post a very prominent link on the front page to a site map for all of us site-challenged types out here?

He confused Breaking News with Busting News.

A quick search for "Kerry Cannes" revealed 5 threads dated today.
Perhaps one of them is what you are looking for.
