It happens when FReepers don’t use apostrophes...
If you go to “preferences” and add “Cheese”, “Moose”, and “Laz would hit it” to your profile, all will be good.
t must be your browser. I’ve never had any of the sidebar, or other problems some FReepers report.
I guess you could use the exit door....
and don’t let it hit ya where the good Lord split ya...
or you could donate a whole stinkin bunch of cash so Jim Rob could get the best of the best to keep it up and running perfectly just for you
I’m not understanding something about this thread.
its the only way to get freepers attention.
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.
What problem are you talking about?
It’s a glitch.
Someone mentioned to go to your preferences and set the number of threads and posts showing to 20 (usually it’s set to 50), and that fixes it.
I have the same frustration as you and followed the above suggestion and now I am able to see things “normally”.
That said, it would still be nice if this glitch would get fixed permanently — it does seem to recur periodically.
$uccinct answer is folks like ME not contributing enough. Free Republic operates solely on contributions and to the best of my knowledge and reading experience, has no advertising revenue. It ain’t no clogomerate, it’s more family business of sorts.
In my experience, NO other site comes close to offering the depth of reader contributions and insights that FR does.
Uh oh, now you’ve done it! Don’t you know you’re not supposed to question how this site has problems or why and how money is spent.
Prepare to be deluged with “donate more money and/or shut up” posts.
I’ve had no problems using just top and bottom sidebars. I use a pagination of 20 articles, 20 replies, and have had no problems on any browser I use regularly, from Dolphin on the phone, Chrome on the desktop, or Chrome on the tablet.
What might help in these threads is people showing screen shots, so that those like me who have never seen the problems might actually see what others are seeing.
From another thread — post by TomGuy. I followed his recommendation and it fixed the issue for now anyway. Thanks, TomGuy.

FR glitch.
It is not your computer. It is a glitch in the FR software and it happens TOO frequently.
Under your account >> preferences, reset the two page lengths items to 20 and the pages will load.
After they get it fixed (usually takes a couple of hours to a whole day), you can reset the preference numbers to your desired number.

I’ve had problems in the past, but none now or recently.
It took me a long time to figure out the problem. But I have the solution! Jim Thompson .... please post again.
Because I don't know how.
Particularly when we’re being asked for 340k a year to keep it running!
