I wish the side bars showed the highlighted links of stories that you already clicked on.

And what's with all the freepers mentioning an upper right search?

Latest Posts Upper right hand corner.

enter the user name into the search at the right corner......THEN hit the arrow, when the page comes up simply hit find user and voila!

Ah.....

Appreciated. Was wondering how so many freepers could be stating right side.

I’m putting in full article titles and doing just find using the Search in the upper right hand, they even align by time which makes a hit more likely, well, so far anyway. ;-)

Oh, Lord. Guys who have to demonstrate how cool and how current they are are so . . . so irrelevent.

Thanks. You should have seen me attempting to post the WFTD class last night. I was circling the drain with my attempts.....I gave up and posted it early this morning and worked it all out. LOL

Current has nothing to do with it.
Economical and professional appearing use of space, color and fonts does.

I don’t give a rusty rat crap how cool or uncool anyone perceives me to be and have no compelling need to “demonstrate” it.

I responded to a request for a comment.
Given that web development is one aspect of my profession I think I have a little bit to say about it.

Do you have anything constructive to add to the whole discussion or are you going to project more BS onto me?

I have a problem with the new format. Let me explain.

I have to use the largest font available in Windows Internet Explorer, otherwise I have to strain to read anything on FR.

Because of the large font size, much of the header is unreadable because of the over-type.

Otherwise, it looks nice.

I have a Dell XPS with a 15.4 “ screen. I have the text size set at largest and the zoom set at 100% and it fits my screen perfectly. I can read it with out my glasses. I like it!

I actually like the new format. I am able to switch quickly between posts and new articles.
Having said above, I should explain that I am on dial up.
I needed to let home page re-load if I wanted to check back and forth between new posts and new articles.
With tabs i can just click on different tab.

Also as one who only replies to posted articles I cannot comment as too difficulty of posting articles.

It looks like a great format circa 1999.

The search box in the upper right hand corner isn’t working for you?
