[history]
Terse report for now:
- NEW By popular demand Browse All Forums (Search is on the todo list.)
- FIXED The pager now alerts on new comments to you in any forum (it used to only alert for the News/Activism forum.)
- CHANGED General Interest now General Interest (Chat).
- I added color to the sidebar, tell me (politely!) what you think.
- Lots of misc. things under the hood.
There are a bunch of add'l changes/additions I'd like to make, and this is probably not the last update today. I'll update this thread if so.
Update #1
- You can choose your own color for each topic subscribed in your sidebar. See the subscriptions gadget (All but blue is probably dog ugly. Feel free to suggest new color schemes in standard web hexadecimal (one color for the background of the title the other for the background of the links)
Update #2
- A few trivial changes, mostly cosmetic.
- You can now search by time or relevance from the latest posts. And it remembers what your last search was and defaults to that. So NOW order by time can be your default search setting.
- Oh yeah, almost forgot, SPELL CHECK! (replies for now, articles will come later.)
Update #3
- New Posts to You from You has been vanquished. New posts will only alert when other people ping you.
- Playing with the position of the Spell check button. Sorry.
- Your personal menu has a new small treat inside.
- Fixed a couple bugs dealing with the spell check code.
- I'm not done yet.
Update #4:
- Okay, I have stopped dorking with the link colors. Back to the defaults they go. Thanks for baring my experiment, I figure it's the least you owe for All Forum posts. ;-)

This ain't a priority, knowing you've been hard at it, but I've not seen anyone mention it - on the "browse all" it's limited to one page. There's no "show more threads". Seeing as it's been 24 hours or so there's plenty enough postings to make several pages by now.

Oooooo! I like having the spelling suggestions show up in the preview widow. Much easier to see what you are doing with the context preserved.

Could a empty line be added to seperate the "Show more threads" and the "FreeRepublic, LLC, PO BOX 9771, FRESNO, CA 93794 FreeRepublic.com is powered by software copyright 2000-2003 Robinson-DeFehr Consulting, LLC." Something like this

| Just a suggestion, but would help me out a good deal, and I suspect the blank line could help others too. |

We use mod_gzip to compress our pages, cutting bandwidth usage by about 60%. Last weekend I learned of a security flaw in mod_gzip, so I disabled it.

John, If you can customize the spell check dictionary, add FReep and FReeper.

However, I'm not sure that I wanted to know that I've posted 2,652 stories here at FR. While I'm sure that is far less than some, you have to spend some serious time at the keyboard to do that. Yikes!Mine:
You've posted a total of 0 threads and 12,815 replies.
I wonder if I'm close to the record for replies without an article. lol
