My wish list: 1. A larger "post" button.
They are planning on installing BS filters.
This will eliminate about 80% of the forum.....
rename the Admin Moderator "Sir Zots-a-lot" and give him the tagline "I am become Mod, destroyer of worlds"
My entry -- Make the author field searchable.
LOL!
I've been lobbying for an "Ignore" feature for several years- our sister site, Free Dominion, instituted it for paying members only, over a year ago, and it made all the difference in the world.
Not only did flame wars quiet down, and civility increase, I find myself going there first, instead of last, now.
If you frequent blog comments and use firefox, this extension helps a lot:
A commercial version of the siteware for purchase. John is sitting on a gold mine.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
Though as I've tried hard to get various site owners to consider it--they've always been dismissive. I think it's parochialism and denial. Most of us FREEPERS KNOW that navigating other sites compared to FR--EVEN THE BETTER SITES--IS A BIG PAIN.
A huge hassle comparatively.
As I understand it from Jim, it would take a lot of work for them to make a commercial version and then there would be a lot of maintenance etc. etc. etc. And I'm not sure they want to bite off all that vs maintain FR well and let it go at that.
But given some other sites I sometimes go to--I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE FR'S SOFTWARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD! LOL.

And I've tried repeatedly to get other webmasters interested--I forget how many at present. But it's an uphill task. The entrenchedness of their current software and the expense and hassles of changing--regardless of how good the new--all work against such.
An auto url check to prevent multiple postings of the same article?

That could be a real good one.
My wish list:
1. capacity to sort FREEPMAILS according to topics and dates. Perhaps also a capacity to rank them 1-3 or 1-5 in terms of priority and then delete whole priority categories. I have some big treasures useful to a number of folks that are buried in that mass but it's so intimidating to find them . . . they just sink deeper in the building pile.
2. capacity to edit for say an hour or two after posting. Perhaps limited to changing up to 50% or whatever of the original post.
3. Capacity to ignore certain posters as an option setting.
4. Capacity to private code posts for referenced saves in certain categories.
MOSTLY JOHN, WE JUST TREMENDOUSLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO AS IS. AND PRAY YOU AND YOURS HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR. THANKS TONS.
Hmmmmm . . . so there is some perversity involved . . .
LOL.
I mean a site-wide search. People often post additional articles or updates within a thread, which later can't be found because the title isn't the same as the post title.
= = =
That would be great.
I wonder, can we search the whole site's file of KEYWORDS?
Neither one, although my husband uses Firefox. The system on FR is so superior that most blog comment software seems 80's to me. Townhall.com's? Jeez!
I agree that "Enemies List" would probably help here, too. I might not pay for it, because I self-censor pretty well, but I'd pay for some other people who are more excitable!
Thailand??
Hope you don't mind, but we added your .jpeg to our Mod profile page. ;)
I agree. Being on FR ruins ya for any other online forums. They are so clunky and cumbersome I hurry back to FR every time.
Blessed 2007 to all, and a grateful heart for the many blessings of 2006.

'Bravehearts vs. Browsers'
Cute.

Happy New Year, Jocko! I understand 2007 has arrived at Greenwich Mean Time, so it's Official.
You used to be able to see what the entire thread would look like before posting it. Now it's the bare-bones minimum.
