Do you know the answer to this burning question we have?

I know that John has been making some changes to Free Republic, he's the one to ask.

Done it in North Carolina, too. I don't think I like it, but I'll wait until tomorrow to be sure!

Thanks.

Is this a new format for the state pages? Can we choose the layout?

You know we all in Georgia ain't got us none of that fancy cable TV. We got us some satellite dishes, but themsta hang the laundry from, and for water when the well goes dry.

Of course, being a UGA fan, I've always thought GA tech was, you know, funny.

The list of people that was on the left side of the state page helped me send word out about the last Rally for the Troops. Do we request those lists from you from now on? Will they be on their own link?

I had to remove the column that listed Freepers in the state because it had too much of a performance impact on the system. Removal of this column was the only change.

I plan to make the list a separate page sometime in the future, but I have no ETA.

Thank you for clearing that up. The new format's style is good except for that loss of information access.

John is there any way to make the chat boards a wee bit longer. My state-mates are so talkative that it can be hard to follow the conversation if it's dropping off the board in a day or less.

Okay. Let's try double the number of posts.

I'm going to end up putting a "More" button on that page... but not now. I plan an extensive overhaul of the state boards, but haven't yet allocated a chunk of time to that project.

Maybe by then GA will have an official state flag that may stay around for more than 1-2 years lol.
