You lost me.
It's under choose topics when you post and if you don't type in the topic there is a button to press to pick from a list. included in the list is "Cheese, Moose, Sister cheese" I chose as my topics : TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Free Republic Policy/Q&A; Miscellaneous;
another question came to mind:
there seem to be two different search interfaces, one that includes the drop down choice of "keywords" and one that does not ?
I have used many , many forum boards and I stand by my statement this is one of the more difficult ones to use. IF a term is not in the title, or someone added it as a keyword, then search will not find it.
