John’s planing on upgrading the defaults and preferences system. Should be coming soon. He’ll also be updating the search routines as we go. “Articles” are the latest articles. “Activity” lists the articles that have had recent comments posted. You don’t need RSS in your sidebar. RSS is a news feed system. Other sites or individuals can get a news feed from FR using that URL. There’s an RSS news feed URL for each forum, each topic, each keyword, etc.

I've always wondered what RSS is.
Thank you for the explantion.

You should write a FR for dummies booklet. ;o)

Thanks, Jim, and I do appreciate all you and John do for us. I admit change can make me cranky, though.

I guess I kind of understand what RSS is... Syncro recommended putting it on the sidebar, but maybe I'd better not mess with it.

One FR feature I really miss: The ability to sort our FReepmails "by sender".
