Why is FR repeatedly having this problem? Over & over....

Why cant it be solved once and for all?

Yet another argument for adding a category called “Pointless Bitching” to the chat options...

FYI, not sure it will help, but MS broke a lot of sites with a security patch. They have since released a hot fix KB2862772.

It’s funny how Freepers who are not experiencing the problem that most of us are having have to chime in with adolescent remarks. I expect this from libs and democrats, not from our own side. And people wonder why the Republican Party is fractured.

Speaking of that, does ‘anal retentive’ require a hyphen?

No, but it requires at least a semicolon if not a full one.

#1 accepted answer.

Its your settings. Go to Page, then click on compatibility view, then click on I’m not compatible with FR.

“I guess you could use the exit door....”

Oh well, there’s a gooood retort... /sarc
Someone raises a legitimate beef, and you show them the door.
Does it matter if they have donated or not? If so, at what donation level are subscribers allowed to raise critical issues? $20? $50? $100? $500?

If not, maybe Jim should just erect a paywall and only allow those who have donated to have access, and raise technical support issues.

Honestly, there are real and reoccurring problems with this website, and they should be addressed in an open and constructive manner.
The content is superb, but IMHO this site is showing its age, and needs a serious overhaul.

But, those who pay the piper call the tune...

I earlier in this thread said this is basically pointless b*tching.

However since I’ve been browsing today, I have to say the site is rougher than usual. Much worse than usual.

Are we under cyber attack of some sort?

You really should go thru some of the old posts on FR

Its what happens here when people complain about how the site works...

If you don’t like how it works then go start your own

Jim and John know all about the issues here and do the best with what they have.

there are no subscribers here only members and they don’t have to donate.

and why is this issue so critical? Most conservatives would just figure out the work around that has been posted on many threads and move on.

I’m on IE..

No side bar

About 12 articles displayed (seems more like a number of lines as it cuts off in the middle of a piece)

Even in the threads it cuts off after so many lines of text

Preferences will not display so I can change to 20

This seems to happen once or twice a week every week.

Today it has been noted even the work-around isn’t working for some folks.

Full as in “complete” or full as in “totally loaded up”?

I had to also switch from “text” to “headers” and now have to reload a page sometimes.
