Recent Changes to Free Republic

[John Robinson]

What do you think? Suggestions, comments, complaints?

[svcw]

I could say adapt or die..
Change is good if there is a reason to change, the question what was the reason?

[Quix]

A mail search option would be

WONDERFUL.

I like the edit function being in the area where we post replies from.

I don’t see much use for it after something has been posted.

I think it would ruin the record of statements made over time.

I welcome Free Republic’s entrance into the 21st century.

When will the sub-pages, like article pages and reply pages (like the one I’m typing this reply on!) be updated?

[Mom MD]

if this has been posted before, sorry. Is there any way to view comments in just one forum? My favorite way to view FR is the active comments in the news/activism forum, and I have not discovered a way to do that yet. THe comments button gets you the recent comments for the entire board, not just the specific forum you are interested in.

Otherwise, I like the changes.
Thanks!

Seems good to me.

I might have missed it - but I can’t find the box to do a search of what’s on line today.
I use it all the time.
Especially “Day in the life “ to see the latest pictures of W.
Thanks...

[AzSteven]

ooohhh... pretty...

That stuff over on the right side, I’ll never use it.

[GEC]

In general it makes it look cleaner.

I would if you can, make the contrast between backgrounds for the titles of the sidebars greater relative to the backgrounds of the sidebars themselves. If you make the backgrounds of the sidebars lighter, it would make the text more readable.

I often scan the sidebars quickly, and it’s harder to do now.

It's changed?

[monkapotamus]

This should work: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/posts:news-forum/

We used to be able to search our FR mail with a link that said "sort by sender" or something like that.

It was a great way to sort the mail

John said some time ago that reinstating that would be quite a problem, some tech stuff he told me so my brain would spin out of the thought process of requesting it. LOL

I'm an easy mark for techies...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Interactive 3-D holograms would be nice. ;)

[smoothsailing]

LOOKS FINE TO ME!

[Blue Highway]

Whay is therr point of RSS? Please explain/

[Mom MD]

great!
how did you do that so I can access that way again?

[La Enchiladita]

How do you get that to happen?

[fight_truth_decay]

OK, trying to like it but cannot, nor find the topics/stories that I had visited as usually they leave a hightlighted footprint for me to return to. Definitely, do not like the larger letters on the darker background.

I want my old room back!!!! :(
