You can set up your Free Republic personal preferences to ingnore the Religion forum

I wasn't aware of that feature. Can you tell me how to do that?

Click on the "Account" link at the top of the page.

Click on the "Manage Blocks" link down the page.

You now have complete access to how your front page is designed. You can add/remove any of the features and fine-tune which forums you see.

If you need extra help contact the admin moderator. They can point you to a thread that discusses this in detail.

(I personally am not an expert on this. I read everything and only post to threads that interest me. I try not to complain about other stuff unless forum rules are abused or broken. Then I whine like an injured child until the bad FReepers stop... ;0)

You can put a list of articles for any Keyword on your main FR page. Click on any Keyword...on the resulting page go to near the bottom of the page, on the right side, and click on “Add to My Page”.

Then click on “Account” at top of main FR page...then click on “Manage Blocks” (a.k.a. “My Page Layout”) ... look for the line “Keyword: ________” and choose the location where you would like a list of articles with that Keyword to be displayed on your main FR page. When finished choosing, click the “Modify” button at the bottom of the page.

You can change it back or further modify it anytime on the “My Page Layout” page. (I have the Banglist articles in the upper right corner of my page).

To: McGruff; All

To recap a couple of good replies on selectivity of FR content from this thread, for anyone interested...

If you do not wish to see Religion Forum posts, do NOT use the “everything” option on the browse. Instead, browse by “News/Activism.” [click on “News/Activism” in the “Browse By Forum” box in the sidebar] When you log back in, the browse will reset to “everything” - so be sure to set it back to “News/Activism.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Another way - If F.R. is your home page, just reset your home page to the U.R.L. of “News/Activism” as follows:

How the Forum software works is an interest of mine :o)
