Today I have a new issue:
When I click on Forum/Activity/Brevity: Headers it takes me back to Articles. Same with Forum/Comments/ Brevity: Headers.

I’ve been having trouble finding news articles. Too much clutter from mindless one-line vanities, handwringing poll threads, useless “entertainment” stuff, flying saucer threads, etc.
Seems the Freep is a one-stop therapy lounge, but I missed the memo.
Threads from early 2001 and before are gone.
Not sure what the story is on that.
1) At bottom of page, navigation links say “1-50” and, say, “51-70”. Click on “51-70” and it gives you messages 1-70, with view set at the top. So you have to scroll down to where you were.
2) To avoid duplicate posts, why not require that source URLs be unique? At least issue a warning to the poster if a thread already exists with the same source URL.
