By the way, the “Put in sidebar” link is not referring specifically to the RSS feed. It’s the forum, topic, keyword or poster and view that you’ve chosen to list (named on the left side directly across from the “Put in sidebar” link). In other words, you can add (or remove) a sidebar section to your sidebar for any forum, topic, keyword or poster you choose. You can click on “Configure sidebar” (down at the bottom of your sidebar) to set preferences to how the sections in your sidebar are sequenced, and how many items to include in each section, etc. For example, if you are following some hot keyword (or forum or topic or poster LOL), you can add it to your sidebar and you will easily see all new articles (or comments) posted for that forum, topic, keyword or poster.

No need to bring me into this...

Whew, I think I understand... it is 1:50 AM here, and I think it may be better if I print out your suggestions and read them tomorrow, when I'm a bit more awake... LOL. I don't think I'd better mess with the configuration of my sidebar at this late hour. Thanks for all the detailed explanations, Jim.

One more question: Can we still search by title? Search box seems to only accept keywords, and of course, by:poster.

I'm proud of myself. WRT RSS, I actually clicked on "put in sidebar" and saw that it would configure my sidebar. I'm not usually a button-pusher. lol

"For example, if you are following some hot keyword (or forum or topic or poster LOL),..."

Poster? My goodness! What a silly thought. lolol

"...you can add it to your sidebar and you will easily see all new articles (or comments) posted for that forum, topic, keyword or poster."

Thank you for all of the information. I had no idea the configure button would do all of that. But, as I said, I'm not a button pusher.

Usually, when I push a button, it's to an alarm that needs a code, and I don't have the code. ;o)

Hey, I think I just did it... I typed title:nuptials into the search box, and found the thread I was looking for:

Nuptials for the Warrior Nurse

:o)

Good information, Jim thanks.

And your explanation of what rss is and it's purpose cleared up a lot of my misconceptions about it.

Has this feature been discontinued on FR? I've been following the comments of a particular FReeper (which I added to my sidebar a month or so ago), but can't figure out how to add another FReeper's comments (or to delete the "Posts by FReeper X" column altogether).

There is now no way to do this when I click "Configure Sidebar". When I then click "Modify" (when in My Page Layout), it just takes me back to the Forum. Thanks...
