What do you think? Suggestions, comments, complaints?

[nutmeg]

Do you know how unhappy and frustrated I am? Grrrrrr.

You're not alone, Leni... :-(

The site masters overlooked a search in the header over threads. Don’t tell them or that will disappear too.

We reached peak search a while back. This is peak search now, this is what peak search is like: searching for SEARCH.

[AmericanMade1776]

Aughhhhhhhhh.... I am so lost. Ohhh noo, someone moved things around. Sheeesh. When you get older, you hate new tricks.

[Syncro]

I suggest to one poster that to find the search function, type “search function” in the search box

It is at the bottom of each thread actually.

[Syncro]

In the little box in the upper right, type

by:syncro

Or whoever you want to search, and push go

It may not default to their posts, but there are options at the top

“comments” goes to their latest posts

[Arrowhead1952]

I understand what you are saying, but I can find stuff easier on Google than FR now.

The only bug that needed fixing was the bizarre $^$## or whatever you would get when you spelled checked a word with an apostrophe in it, a few times.

They even took out the “spelling ok” sign when you spell check.

[AmericanMade1776]

Tap, tap, tap..is this thing working.

Good morning. Thanks for your reply, mfccinsd. Now, they have made it much easier to view the posts of another, not sure if they are easier to search for though...? However, I tried your method of searching and it works. I used the top right search box on the Forum page, typed in the user’s name, then clicked “Find user” on the resulting screen and the user’s posts appeared. I was able to select “Full” on that.... a few more steps than before, but works fine.

The key words right now are “a few more steps”.

Hope they get that resolved, too. I appreciate them
listening to their FReeps.

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks, but the only text that's too small is the stuff in the sidebar. It's smaller than the main body of the window. And that's my problem. If I make the sidebar big enough to read, the main body text is huge, if you know what I mean.

:-)

[luvie]

You’re right.

I guess this is gonna be a challenge for all the smart
ones who DO threads! LOL!

[La Enchiladita]

I cannot get into threads from my Pings page or from the Comments page.... anyone else?

I got into this thread via the sidebar, woo hoo!!

[redtetrahedron]

WYSIWYG comment posting coming soon? In-line with AJAX updates? Threaded?

I second these, and also request custom color schemes!

[La Enchiladita]

I’m here....(((Hugs)))
Yes, I was thinking of our friend having to post a thread this A.M., wonder how that went, it looks good.
Now if I can find a way to get into it....BBL.

[Syncro]

Well, I finally figured out what rss is, and put it on my side bar

rss stands for:

A list of the most recent articles that have been posted upon. Most recent on the top, and on down. Changes moment by moment

A good feature!

[luvie]

I guess she found her way! LOL!

I’ll bet it was a bit of a surprise to her, though!

[AmericanMade1776]

everything is too scattered ...I am almost certain I saw a comment addressed to me from John Robinson, but I can not find it on this thread, nor do I remember where I saw it. I posted an article, and I don’t know where it went. I can not find the search for articles that have been posted function.

[Syncro]

Custom color schemes (to some degree) can be applied by going to more (top right) and then subscriptions and then under “style” select color or “swatch”

Swatch is mystery colors
