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.
