Added the ability to make a sidebar on the left of the page, as well as place boxes at the top and bottom of the page. You'll also be able to add your bookmarks using the Manage Blocks page.
Thank you. Nice user interface.
In the area of functionality, I really need an “ignore user” and “stop-FReepmail-and comments-from-user”.
Heck, why not throw in a self “account is banned or suspended” option for when we really get fed up. Give us the option of one week, two, permanent opus, etc.
This has gotten very, very confusing. Thanks for making it so I could access Keywords and users though, which I hadn't been able to do untill you fixed it for those who have java disabled.
I just wish there was a ‘search’ (By date/or relevance) link on the comments page.
I have to go to a post to get that type of search.
Not exactly, but thanks. How do I find you, jdm, and all of the great comments you make in the forum (it used to be at the top...in the middle...with a dropdown menu)
I would love to se an “ignore post” option also. For example, in the case of that lamp post thing the last few days I had no desire to even see the title.
FR is looking great, John! Thanks for all the work you put in to the greatest conservative spot on the Net.
Up in the top right had corner is an oblong box with the word Go next to it. Click on the box then a drop down menue will appear. It will say keyword, user, etc. Click on user. Then in the box type in the users name.
“More” has been renamed to “Account”. You can find Manage Blocks there. Manage blocks is also on the sidebar but is labeled “Configure Sidebar”... probably need to change that now.
Most totally awesome!
Then hit “Go”
Got it! Thanks a lot, Spunky. I wasn’t clicking on the box...just the “go”
Also, just noticed your GRRRRREAT tagline!
Thanks! Glad I could help out. I am still trying to figure out other changes John has made. I can’t find the articles I have bookmarked from before.
Fantastic! This site gets better and better everyday. I am enjoying the thread view count and the drop down search dialog box is an improvement. The fancy new face lift looks terrific. Very impressed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! For telling me "more" is now "account". By clicking on that I found the manage blocks, but I don't know how to get to the articles I have bookmarked before. It shows it disabled and everytime I try to put it to the left sidebar it defaults back to disabled.
I don't see the Configure Sidebar on my sidebar either unless it is the words that I see superimposed over other words up there.
Even the previous FR search had some limitations. One of them was that if your search didn't find the keyword or poster it was looking for, you were directed to a default page that only searches titles. Now if you click the word "Search" from within article threads you are directed to this same default page.
Ignore my posting here at #57. I found out how to get my bookmarks. It is slowly coming together for me now. Thanks!
Thanks John!
personally, the new fonts used on the main page are much easier on my eyes and make scanning the page a lot faster.
