Spell dictionary? I hate to say this, but where?

Search now works across all forums.

A prayer answered. THANK YOU.

Usernames look weird, maybe a little squashed, but I don't really mind.

[First_Salute]

I appreciate your hard work.

[Pukin Dog]

Can we have back the bolded "To" address in the CSS?

[netmilsmom]

When you post there is now a "Spell" button.

[Petronski]

Reply to: usernames are better bold, IMHO. Everything else is fabulous.

find later bump

I noticed that the "To:" line is no longer in bold (not sure if that's temporary).

One thing that might be good to add is in the freepmail section. Yesterday I made the mistake of hitting <Enter> on the Subject Line to go to the body of the message. This naturally sent off a blank message (oops).

Think it'd be possible to have a recipient && subject && message_body check and kick-back to the freepmail entry if one is missing? The current "error occurred" page is kinda cryptic and it sends off the errant freepmail anyway. : (

Just a suggestion. Like the other improvements a lot!

[netmilsmom]

Mr. Robinson, I love the black backround on the top of the Profile pages. It is so the best!!

God Bless and thank you!

[Billthedrill]

Very cool, and thanks for all the effort, John!

May one assume you have added "hugh," "series," and "AYBBTU" to the dictionary? Might as well...

[John Beresford Tipton]

Since about an hour ago the font seems to have changed on my PC in viewing the comments various Freepers make on threads. All the other fonts remain the same.

[smith288]

Looks good.

Question: How come you dont link the profiles in the To: of each comment?

[malakhi]

Hi John.

I like the bolded screen names in the "To:" field better.

Also, a question about the total of threads and replies on the personal menu. Does this go all the way back, or only to a certain point in time?

[Dog]

You made the fonts smaller....I'll need stronger glasses now...can you tweak it some more.

[TSgt]

Super work! Glad I donated this year!

Now if only I could get my screen name changed... ;)

Merry Christmas,

Mike :)

[Fred Mertz]

The fonts seem to be shrinking.

[ZGuy]

Thanks for all the hard work!

Here's one for the "things to do" list :
When using the All Forum Threads viewing option (Browse All), the author is currently being displayed twice as both the author and the source.

Thanks again!

Whats wrong with your screen name?
