Temp workaround for problem with FR's pages not loading

http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/settings ^

[Jim Robinson]

Hopefully, John will check his messages soon and get the problem fixed, but until then, the temporary workaround is to go to Account and My Preferences and set 20 messages per page and 20 results per page:

Sorry about the problem,

I’m just messing with John.

And no....I did NOT see where Anoreth was “blamed”?!?!?

BRB if I’m not kicked off the forum by then. ;}

[Brad’s Gramma]

Me no findy.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Deport. I set Preferences to 20 and it seems to have solved my issues with the missing sidebar blocks; and, now it alloww me to be able to click thru to the next page of comments when there are over 20 of them.

Mucho gracias!

Am over here trying to locate hummingbird. hummingbird wanted to take the blame. I think it goes much deeper than anyone knows. How deep I know not. Think there is a problem on the web and there is more going on than any of us know. Have a theory but theories are only theories. I’ll say something if some facts come up but this is troubling with the web having hiccups.

It was on another thread where the Air Force was slapped. All is okay though, no foul. The Air Force is always the brunt of the jokes. I'll even tell my favorite ... The Air Force says to the Army, Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard after the War is won, thank us, your Air Force for the club you are partying in. Without our expertize you couldn't have done it.

The Army, Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard hate that joke. Since I am outnumbered I fully expect the Army, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard to beat me to pulp. The Air Force is not called Fly Boys for nothing.

I changed
these settings....but they didn’t seem to help...yet.

“The other day was weird also. Saw something which I saw just before we went down before. Was like a glitch developed on the entire web. Have seen that glitch twice now.”

A deja’ vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix, it happens when they change something.

I don’t get the joke and running “20 messages per page” it is to much trouble to go back and look. So I must post with out reading it first.

Poetry of Lewis Carroll

A SEA DIRGE

THERE are certain things - as, a spider, a ghost,
The income-tax, gout, an umbrella for three -
That I hate, but the thing that I hate the most
Is a thing they call the Sea.

Pour some salt water over the floor -
Ugly I’m sure you’ll allow it to be:
Suppose it extended a mile or more,
THAT’S very like the Sea.

Beat a dog till it howls outright -
Cruel, but all very well for a spree:
Suppose that he did so day and night,
THAT would be like the Sea.

I had a vision of nursery-maids;
Tens of thousands passed by me -
All leading children with wooden spades,
And this was by the Sea.

Who invented those spades of wood?
Who was it cut them out of the tree?
None, I think, but an idiot could -
Or one that loved the Sea.

It is pleasant and dreamy, no doubt, to float
With ‘thoughts as boundless, and souls as free’:
But, suppose you are very unwell in the boat,
How do you like the Sea?

There is an insect that people avoid
(Whence is derived the verb ‘to flee’).
Where have you been by it most annoyed?
In lodgings by the Sea.

If you like your coffee with sand for dregs,
A decided hint of salt in your tea,
And a fishy taste in the very eggs -
By all means choose the Sea.

And if, with these dainties to drink and eat,
You prefer not a vestige of grass or tree,
And a chronic state of wet in your feet,
Then - I recommend the Sea.

For I have friends who dwell by the coast -
Pleasant friends they are to me!
It is when I am with them I wonder most
That anyone likes the Sea.

They take me a walk: though tired and stiff,
To climb the heights I madly agree;
And, after a tumble or so from the cliff,
They kindly suggest the Sea.

I try the rocks, and I think it cool
That they laugh with such an excess of glee,
As I heavily slip into every pool
That skirts the cold cold Sea.

Thanks Rebelbase. I wonder who is monkeying or what is monkeying to cause the glitches.

[Anoreth]

I doubt the Coast Guard is included in the original version of that joke.
At least the Air Force consumes enough money that the rest of the world doesn’t constantly forget about them.

[Anoreth]

Including the President.

[no-to-illegals]

LOL ... Knew you would show up and blame the Air Force. It is in the Coast Guard DNA. You can help yourself to the facts sometimes, and yes you are correct, the Coast Guard was not in the original joke. The Coast Guard was in the club though, Thank God. One punch in for you. That one was a hard punch you have there Anoreth. It caused a blurting of the truth.

[no-to-illegals]

Hey guys. Am back to full. Thanks.

[Jane Long]

Ditto. Thanks John and Jim.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Coast Guard ain’t got enough budget to even get in its own jokes ....

It’s got to recycle Navy jokes. 8<)

[no-to-illegals]

Please forgive me Coast Guard. I had nothing to do with this post. I think I’ll log out Robert. You are on your own.

[Cololeo]

A nice place to see how widespread problems are.

[no-to-illegals]

Thanks Cololeo.

That was weird.
For the whole day a good portion of the web seemed goofed up.
FR was fine for me, but other sites were “off”.

Reading FR along from my job last weekend was interesting as some people here in NY had trouble getting into FR, but from my job I could see FR fine.
But that’s probably because to the eyes of the internet my job sits in Ohio due to the company LAN.
So my access poiont to the net was in Ohio while I was physically in NY.
So whatever happened last weekend was between NY and FR but not between Ohio and FR.
*shrugs*
Odd stuff.

Last night looked like a buffer burp or something.

Thanks, no-to-illegals!

I'm going to call the GEEKS tomorrow; will report back!
