[Richard Axtell]

Chit Chat has it's own "Self Search" database, but when I am logged into any of the other Forums, I get the same listing from early November, 2001 that I mentioned in my origial post... nothing else! I just got done trying this with most of the Forums, and this is the current situation.

You might try clearing your disk and memory cache, deleting your Free Republic bookmarks from your browser, deleting your Free Republic cookies, logoff, exit from Free Republic, then come in again. When you come back in, make sure you include our full URL: http://www.freerepublic.com (including the "www."). You may be able to get to FR without the "www." but your cookies may get stored incorrectly and some functions may not work properly. Don't know for sure if this is the problem, but it has cleared up some strange happenings for some posters.

Try putting To:"Richard Axtell" or From:"Richard Axtell" in the Articles/Replies search box at the top of the forum page (include the quotation marks). This doesn't solve your problem, but at least you will be able to find current From/To replies.
