What's the New "Pager" Icon About? (Vanity Request for Help)
Free Republic

Posted on 12/07/2003 4:31:44 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I noticed this morning that a little speaker icon had popped up next to my screen name, and when I let the browser settle on it, the word "pager" appears. When I click on it, it just takes me to my comments, same as clicking on "New Messages."

Could someone please explain this innovation? Thanks.

I think it's tied to the 'Icon' pager that has installed.... It was working okay yesterday as I was chasing some post from a day or two ago on mine list.

After the thread yesterday where people noticed how many posts they'd made and didn't think they had a life outside of FR, that might be by popular request. ;-)

Exactly. As I explain when in reply to one of my Today Show posts someone asks how I stand it/why I bother, etc., I watch out of a combo of masochism and the belief it's worthwhile to keep an eye on what the liberal media are up to.

the pager icon is nothing that needed "installed". Its merely a link that was added to the top of the page.

I would imagine John may have made some changes and while making changes to the backend, added the link as a little visible "enhancement".

A man in Milwaukee didn't click it, and the next week was struck by a 50-lb. round of sharp cheddar falling off a high shelf.

A man in Eau Claire clicked it 12 times, and that night the Green Bay Packers cheerleaders stopped by his house for some holiday cheer.
