Improvements to Freerepublic
FreeRepublic ^ | 27 Sep 2026 | Self

Posted on 09/27/2026 8:18:00 AM PDT by for-q-clinton

FR hasn't really changed much over the decades I've been on it. And I know many people have supported it directly financially (I have in the past as well).

I'd love to see them use some of that money to improve the service. I'm not knocking them for wanting to make a profit on what they developed, but complacency leads to death. As our crowd gets older we need newer users to join to keep the community growing.

So what features would you love to see FB add that you'd be willing to donate to get?

Mine are in the first comment.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Focus Software; Free Republic Policy/Q&A
KEYWORDS: computer; discorpse; features; fr; freerepublic; stupidvanities

Thank you very much and God bless you.

“So you can quickly see if it’s already posted.”

Like the idea. Unlike some, there are folks on this thread, like myself, that are interested in learning something for betterment.

I can see someone posting an article that may be old, but not breaking news. Give me a thought, give me places you formed it, and don’t waste the readers time having to sort out two or three posts on the same topic, many times using the same web site. Maybe they could do that but it would involve creating discourse from more than one poster at a time. Kind of like creating its own debate on the issue with different posters in a grouping. Then the readers could get the information based upon co-local entries and the reader can sort out the thoughts in one entry. It would also force the trolls and closet liberals to substance their entry in material rather than their agenda.

I’d become a monthly member if we had these features.
So you're not a monthly member for all these years!??

Look, pal, all these neat things you want will cost a lot more monthly $$$ for increased data & server usage.

From a guy or gal who's been paying little or nothing for all these years.

We have too many boomers who want to change grocery stores because they moved the ketchup.
CHANGE??!!!!
One of the endearing qualities of FR is not having to scroll through endless images.

I used to post photos all the time, but for the past few years, no matter how many different methods I try, they don’t post.

Sounds like your beeber might be stuned. Reboot it.
Or you are hot-linking photos. I don't know.

I have never had a pic fail to post.

I, like many, just stopped posting articles out of frustration with the mods.

How about a search function that actually works?

It works fine.

At least, it has never failed me.

There are free sites with outstanding discussion over a variety of topics that allow pics, videos and gifs with other engaging attributes such as likes/dislikes.

The topics that are hot stay on the front page until other hot topics emerge. The embed and link features are very easy as well.

One of mine has been the white background...big monitor/tv, hard on the eyes, and taxes backlighting on your set (also uses more electricity). “Dark Reader” add-on for firefox works well for that.

Leave the modern platform for an outdated model that will remind you of the 1990s/early 2000s of internet forums?

Yes.
Selling points:
1. No ads
2. No trackers.
3. No 2FA (two factor authentication)

I would like editing my posts for typos after posting
Ability to pull my own dupe posts.
