Free Republic contingency pages on facebook and yahoo

[Jim Robinson]

Yes, we do have a Free Republic page on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/26012226159/

And also on Yahoo:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freerepublic2/

You may wish to visit and bookmark both.

.
Easy. - Just sign up a new account on yahoo, or ymail.com

I can’t believe they haven’t shut down Groups or improved the software in years - or that anyone uses it much.

How sad is that?

[lwoodham]

Thank you Jim. Both bookmarked.

John, not trying to be facetious in the least, but is there any chance things in here could go whack when, like right now,
the FR system clock appears to be running almost two minutes ahead of time.windows.com (which, I would imagine, is mirroring one of the .gov atomic gizmos) ?

> ... I use Firefox 16.0.2 (compiled from source) on a homegrown Linux platform where I run my own nameserver.

In my experience websurfing, with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and Unix machines, and all manner of browsers, the single most important performance improvement you can make is FAST NAME SERVICE.

You've got the best -- your own nameserver. I've done at at times in the past, myself.

Away from home or if you don't have your own local nameserver, I recommend Google's Public DNS nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). They're available from anywhere with response limited only by your internet connection.

Yes, that means Google can see where you're going, if they want to keep stats. I don't care, I don't surf pr0n.

I very rarely find FreeRepublic response time to be too long to put up with. Most times, the clean spare design is way ahead of the fancier formatted sites.

I don’t think this is enough. When the jack-booted crackdown comes it’s going to be the entire internet. We need an agreed-upon short-wave frequency, as well as a universal call-sign that we can all recognize.

Hear, hear. Jelibean’s site is better than that awful Yahoo one.

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx, SC.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[jellybean]

Thanks tomat! altfreerepublic is still active - just doesn't get much traffic unless FR goes down.

[jellybean]

I have been there but ever since I lost my password, I never could reset it.

I've changed your password and will send the new one via FReepmail. You can change it after logging in to altfreerepulic.

[jellybean]

If that works, I’ll be there if FR is down/unacceptable slow. ANYTHING is better than Yahoo groups.

I agree - that's why I set up the altfreerepublic. Drop in and sign up.

[jellybean]

Hear, hear. Jelibean’s site is better than that awful Yahoo one.

Thanks martin! Glad you enjoy it!

I’m with you. I’ve been a freep since 98. This stretch has been the worst ever. I have several computers, different networks, high end equipment. There is a big problem.

If it isn’t faulty equipment, or a bad service provider, maybe it’s sabotage.

But, there is no denying that this site has some serious issues.. Today I tried for several hours to connect, and never pulled the site up until late in the day.

Hey P6!

Where did you find those tips you refer to?
