Installing Free Republic Update Tonight
Posted on 04/08/2008 10:15:49 PM PDT by John Robinson
Will be installing an update tonight that fixes a number of issues. The version that will be installed is currently available on the beta site.
Changes
- Fixed the time-warping "More" links.
- Fixed time zone issues, using JavaScript to ask your browser to format the time stamp. If you don't have JavaScript enabled, you'll see the default Pacific time.
- Reverted behavior of "New comments to you" indicator.
- Updated HTML on index pages (Latest Posts, etc.) We're moving away from font tags, etc., in favor of using style sheets. Big change here is an increased font size of text in article summaries (increased to the "normal size" font)
- Added memory of last tab ("Articles", "Activity", "Comments") visited on index pages. Additionally, each tab remembers it's brevity setting. "Headers" brevity is the same as "Brief", "Text" brevity is the same as "Full". Name changed to hopefully clarify exactly what this does.
- Moved RSS link to bottom of page.
- Moved and renamed "Sidebar Placement" to bottom of page, it is now labeled "Add to My Page", hopefully that is as self-descriptive as "Sidebar Placement" was.
- Other minor tweaks
One last feature I am working to return is the slave windows preference. Will have that working before the new software is installed.
Update: Windows Preference Working
Reimplemented the open-in-new-window preference. It uses different code now. If you use this feature, please let me know if any links are not (or should not be) opening in new windows.

Thanks much for agreeing in prayer. Scripture indicates such agreement has great impact in the spiritual realm.

Any chance of adding something like this wysiwyg to new thread body edit? I wouldn’t do it to posts..(too many people would abuse it and the place would end up looking like somewhere you would find Spitzer,).. but it would ease thread header formatting quite a bit.

Are you going to go back to those more subdued colors we had last month? The bright blue really gets under my skin.

I am attempting to post an image from earlier that failed. If there's no pic in this post, it failed:

Spktyr -- can you point me to one of your posts that you tried to post an image on? Like John says, it really should work the same as always. Perhaps I can see what's coming unglued for you.

I see four old men with way too much money for fancy clothes and hair cuts. Your image posting worked fine (though I could debate your choice of images (<
grin>).

Hi John,
Really appreciate your hard work on the site. And your courage -- FR is a busy site and rolling out changes can be a little scary. (I've been a webmaster since '96, but not on sites as big as FR.)
My only comment (other than "Bravo!") is "Please Retain the Simplicity".
I show my clients and co-workers FreeRepublic.com as a shining example of how to do a forum RIGHT (in all senses of the word)! SIMPLICITY, not fancy features, wins BIG.
Thanks,
Dayglored

Hello John,
The improvements are good, and I commend you.
The only thing I have an issue with is the search function. It’s not as easy to use as it used to be.
FRegards,

PING
Thans for all your hard work John. I sure don't envy your task whatsoever... I'm still challenged with HTML - haha
I really like the changes I'm seeing on my Pings list, nice color changes. Since I'm so new to FR just about everything is new to me anyway.
Keep us posted on your health concern... You're in my prayers.
