I know FreeRepublic is not for profit. I understand that any changes that are done to it are "unencumbered" by any feasible plan.
But you are driving me nuts, John!
Think things through from my perspective. I don't have time to play around figuring out all the subtle differences between on Alpha release and the Next.
Do the right thing. Beta. Test. Don't break what isn't broken. Never, ever, do anything that breaks a bookmark.
I understand that playgrounds are fun, but I, for one, don't have time to coddle you whilst you are playing!

How to post a picture
The picture has to be hosted online. photobucket has free webspace you can use to host your pictures.
< (Opens the link)
img (Stands for image)
(space between img and src)
src (Stands for Source)
= (tells the computer that you are going to put in a destination)
"URL" (The url of the picture goes between quotation marks)
> (Closes the link)
put it all together and you get (with an unneeded space between the first karat and the img) < img src="http://webpages.charter.net/trussell/pictures/Hello%20stick%20person.gi"> This is the URL for the picture of the waving stick figure.
Take the space out after the first karat (<) and you would get

With Firefox you can use the scroll wheel and the cntrl key to increase and decrease the font very easily....
Simply press and hold the cntrl key and rotate the scroll wheel...

Use carats “<” not brackets “[”

Now I see I’ve been wasting my time...you got it figured out. Good job!
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Well, well. It also works with IE7. Bit of a nuisance to do it with every window, but it does work. Thanks.

Is the “forum” posts bringing up all the posts, or just the “news” posts? I want it to show everything that has been posted, not just the one forum
To: Cicero
OK,...I wasn’t sure about IE....
To: Centurion2000; Glenn
Do own the site? No? Then sit back, have a coke and a smile and STFU already.
Poor metaphor.
While the users don't "own" the site, they do MAKE it what it is. Insult them, drive them off, and you end up with the "lonesome King of the Sandbox" syndrome. ("This is MY sandbox, these are MY toys, and you'll play with them the way I TELL you to play with them!" ... "Um, OK. Bye now.")

To: trussell
One of the names for the "
^" symbol is "caret." I'm guessing that's where you got the name "carat." The only meaning I know for the word "carat" is a measure of weight for precious stones. Those "
<" and "
>" characters needed for html I'd call left and right angle brackets, or chevrons, or less-than and greater-than signs. A real typographer would distinguish between angle brackets and less-than or greater-than signs; but I'm not a real typographer.

Well ... that's a nice clear statement of what you're seeing.
I'm not seeing that here; don't know how you got it. I agree it would be nice.

FOR SURE.
Thanks thanks.
Honor to where honor is due.
Though sometimes I wonder if THE Robinsons handle praise all that comfortably! LOL.
Sometimes they seem at their best slugging it out in the trenches with the rest of us.
