FR Getting A Little Harder To Navigate - What's Up?
Free Republic ^ | August 9, 2004 | Me

Posted on 08/09/2004 6:04:26 PM PDT by BJungNan

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble all of a sudden navigating FR? It seems the feature that lets you know when you have a reply has turned into a two-click process. This just to see what replies you have. And then it is another click to actually read the reply. It used to all be done in one click.

Something has definately changed. Change always causes a bit of trouble getting used to it. But this seems to be more than that. FR navigation has been easier and far above any other forums I have seen. So much so that I ask myself, why can't they do it as good as FR? Sure would hate to see that change - and the changes that have already taken place.

Is there a way to just get News/Activism when you hit Browse, or do you have to get all the forums first and then hit News/Activism?

how will we get this thread over 200 like the one earlier today?

Oh...sorry. Uh,,,,er,,,,ya, this sucks. I remember the days when I had to close my tags two or three times just to get it to take, AND it was UPHILL both ways. *harumph*

(It's definitely "former", I couldn't php my way out of a paper bag. :) )

As I understand it from a previous thread, John is working on it.

I liked the addition of the number of thread views. pretty simple, but very also useful information. and I'm getting used to the red things blinking at me.

If you are talking about seeing the whole post when you check your pings without clicking the thread.... there is a link that says "brief" or "full" up in the right hand corner of the Pings page (Note for the easily confused... this used to be called "My Comments")

And why do we need a choice between "brief" and "full"? On the second part about the easily confused. Huh?

I say we go back to when you had to use HTML

That is where many of us learned HTML. Remember when everyone would complain if you did not turn off the bold and everything past your post would be in bold until some put in the switch?

You've had a choice between brief and full for many many months. I like it on brief. You don't. That's why choices are nice!

On the second part about the easily confused. Huh?

Sorry to have confused you again ;~D

Being a member of others forums that underwent major, drastic changes that removed functionality...

Do you mean ebay and the recent "my ebay" changes? And I agree with you. In comparison to changes I have seen elsewhere and where it was totally botched (Can you hear us ebay you are quite correct this has been mild. Still, I'm going to have to check out some of the suggestions to see if I can get rid of these extra clicks to get where I want.

Now I am no longer confused as I have just found the brief and full buttons and now I see everything is to my liking and others can have it to their liking also so you are not only a good teacher but FR is even better than I thought when I first posted this as I was thinking that somehow they were starting to sell underwear although I could not figure out what full meant even though I had an idea what brief was even though I wear boxers since I heard Bill Clinton wore briefs and now I see that indeed briefs is not what I want.

Now, next question. When will FR put up a Run-On-Sentence-Checker?

P.S. Thanks for the help! Best Regards, BJN
