It's like Medicare; everytime you think you've got the HICFA billing form problems ironed out, they change the form with a new set of unknown rules to be mastered before they will pay you.
But lately I'm sure I died and because Hell was full, they sent me to Zork.
Cheers!

Whew! I thought I was going to have to replace my monitor, everything started to look different. LOL

All kidding aside: Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Are these going to be made available for general reply posting?

The beauty of FR has always been an interface common to all. But, if favored style sheets become common, seems to me like that will make it easier to radically alter the look and feel of the place. I can see it now, "Get your style sheets here - one special made to suit your personality."

I really do hope that I am dead wrong... 8^)

I like my design choices, but few people agree with me. So let 'em do the job themselves. ;-)

Seriously, I really do like the idea of a customizable Free Republic. The more gadgets that can be tweaked, the better, IMHO.

My job will be to hammer together an HTML guideline to coordinate HTML usage. Such as using <EM> to highlight, and <I> for italicizing. Or coming up with something different (like using a CLASS="hi" for highlighting.)

So the marquee feature is disabled?

If so, wht if I type in < marquee > (w/o the spaces of course) a hundred thousand million billion times will tht make it work?

Hay John I like it just fine, except for the indentation: it seems that the threads would be smaller without tht thingie, but I understand there is an important reason for it.

"..a customizable Free Republic.."

Well - no one can say it will be 'dull' here, never has been, of course ..*bg*

If all were to be client-side, I'd not be frantically looking for the pink liquid right now... but, then the wife tells me I've become, ‘an ol' stick in the mud' anyway - LOL

Not only that, but reading narrow text is easier. Six to ten words across is optimum, which is one reason why newspaper columns are narrow.

Just a heads-up: I've stumbled across a technical glitch of some sort. Occasionally when loading
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/latest?ao=1
I get articles from a specific topic (Culture/Society, Current Events, etc.) instead of from every topic.

Question?

Will your filter filter out Mean-Spirited, Arrogant, Condescending Liberals ?

Really, Thanks. I'll cancel my Eye Doctor appointment.

All I wanna know is if my "win" on the Trash This Thread thread had any effect on the final outcome.

I suppose not as I haven't a clue what you are talking about.
