the following is the default forum link for Articles:

https://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index?tab=articles

The following link will work sometimes (note the “1” replacing the asterisk):

https://freerepublic.com/tag/1/index?tab=articles

. . . but otherwise the involvement of the “1” may result in an FR page with a message:

“Your query returned no results.”

Same for Comments:

https://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index?tab=comments

https://freerepublic.com/tag/1/index?tab=comments

This “new FR feature” began within the last 7 days. I was wondering why.

- - -

Try - go to:

https://freerepublic.com/perl/settings

And change all the settings.

Fiddle with FR pages, Articles tab, Comments tab . . .

Then go back and adjust those setting to what you prefer.

There’s very little in the settings and nothing that would change this site behavior.

I think I found the issue in the page source.

form id=”site_search” method=”post” action=”/perl/go-button”>
input type=”text” name=”s” size=”20” value=”1” class=”text” onfocus=”this.select(); site_search_focus(1);” onblur=”site_search_focus(0)” />
input type=”submit” value=”Search” class=”submit” />
div id=”site_search_extended”>
strong>Search:</strong>
select name=”type” onfocus=”site_search_focus(1);” onblur=”site_search_focus(0)” >
option value=”keywords”>Keywords</option>
option value=”users”>Users</option>
option value=”titles”>Titles</option>
option value=”yahoo”>Yahoo</option>
