I apologize for being off topic. I have been reading FreeRepublic for some time, but I haven’t found a help page to tell me how the pingings and stuff works. I would like to know if there is such a page, or if not, how I can ping, and add a tagline (epiphet thingy) to my name. Thanks guys. Have a good one.

For Pings, people tend to have lists, saved either in their profile page, or possibly on their computers, ready for cutting and pasting into the “To” field. Most have some HTML that they paste into the post with their ping list, as well.

Adding a tagline is easier than you think, but it is not obvious. It has nothing to do with any profile setting. Instead, when you post a message to anyone, a line beneath the “Your Reply” area, called “Tagline,” is actually where you set your funny comment. The system appears to remember it for each post until you change it.

I hope this helps.
