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!
i am not loving the pictures in the latest posts included in the latest threads part; makes it less uniform to browse for articles
but maybe thats just because its new and :scary:
That’s a big box, he only wants posts in little boxes zotted.
I have been trying to find that animated GIF everywhere for the past few months. Thanks!
LOL - it’s how I feel when trying to figure things out. I’ve saved so many pictures I’ve seen on FR. They’re great.
congratulations!
Gruesome. But often apt.
Thank you, too, for your help!
Lasers. This site needs lasers.
It's that little drop-down box in the upper right corner. If you click on it, it will expand into a larger search box with the usual search options.

So that would be the new Orrin Hatch feature?

My clothes are already fading, please don't wash FR too many more times. I'm gettin' the hang of it but my two brain cells are already starting to smell like burning rubber. :)
Are you the guy named Glenn I used to date who was always complaining whenever I made a tiny, little change in our relationship? Like the time you noticed I was wearing another guy’s engagement ring? Well, now you know why I didn’t marry you. Have a good life.
Ditto.
They scream of attention whore-ism.
Two problems. First, I’d like a real search box. I know that thing on the top right is supposed to do the job, but it’s impossible to figure out. Let’s have a search box. I know that many others are confused, too.
_______________________________________________
Guess what ...I am not confused ...
I can do the search box thingy...
I cant post a pic etc...
But I CAN make the search box wotk for me...
:)
I found out how...
Brief...
No, no, no.
He said “in little boxes”.
Not “on little boxes”.
LOL
Do you lose it after each and every vanity about the upgrades ... because I think search gets pointed out to you every time you post that you can't find it? Of course, I was unable to perform a search to be sure that you'd been told. ;-)
Oh, well that was close
At least I can make the search box thingy work
:)
As I've noted with assaulting virtually every other webmaster on the net that I've frequented--FREEREPUBLIC HAS THE BEST SOFTWARE BY SEVERAL GALACTIC CLUSTERS WORTH.
If the average BEST 100 sites were to emulate even 25% of FR's features it would be a several hundred percent improvement on all of them.
And, I have NEVER observed John to put up a refinement that was worse or ill-thought out. It's possible I've missed one or two but I can't recall any.
AND, contrary to a fact of life with 95% of all programming types . . . he's a far better psychologist than probably all Microslop put together.
Most techies seem to be soooo immersed in 1's and 0's that it takes a stray thought indeed to even begin to IMAGINE how real live humans will handle the results of their code flinging.
Not so with John. His stuff is well thought out to begin with.
On top of that, he solicits our inputs and actually listens and adjusts accordingly--wisely often taking some inputs with a grain of salt.
I shall be eternally grateful for John's labors hereon. I only wish we could pay him more for his labors of love.
He has more than my support and strong vote of confidence. Sometimes, he even has my awe at his skills and thoughtfulness.
So, I'd say--John--do your usually good job at ignoring the naysayers.
Sometimes it seems that Conservatives frustrated in the political arena turn to eating their own as an obsessive habit or reflex. Or else some were just born chronic naysayers. Though it seems like some have been in Olympic training for naysaying all their lives, to boot.
IN OTHER WORDS, John, PLEASE CARRY ON IN YOUR USUALLY GRAND STYLE. . . . please!
