Questions?

Also it would be good if we could highlight in colors other than yellow #FFFF00. How about at least a light yellow option and a green and light green?

Some people, even on this page of replies, need a spell-checker. How about that?

Thanks for Free Republic. I log on all day long and forward good stuff to a list of friends.

You mean FR is dangerous to us?

John, Not sure this has anything to do with the recent changes but.. For about a week now whenever I click on Activism/Chapters it has taken me to what I think is Latest Articles. I made no changes to my preferences and this just seemed to happen on its own. Thanks, Dave

Lovely! I am bookmarking & bumping.

BUMP for later reading and analysis.

No more time wasted on "font fixed?". My vote for best change.

I will still close my tags, though. Not a bad habit to hang out with.

Sigh! I'm going to miss the chaos! What will I do for amusement now?

[unsycophant]

No coffee link. Eeeek.

Questions?

Uhhh, yeah...Could you repeat that please???

[Mr. Bungle]

Excellent work, John!

Are animated GIFs also turned off? Just seems like they are at the moment. Thanks for all the useful fixes, John.

John:?P? I don't mean to be one of the complainers, but I seem to be in their company.?P? FR, already plagued with strange behavior, such as tag brackets being converted into question marks, now seems even more unstable (to me). I am not a big tag user; usually only italics, underline and bold. However, I have begun seeing a lot of new threads in which every typographic entity such as a quotation mark, a colon, etc., has been converted into a question mark.?P? Personally, I favor the changes you've outlined...but I wish the side-effects had been worked on BEFORE you implimented them!?P? --Boris

This is a technological preview and is geared for a technical audience. At a later date a kinder gentler interface will be created

I need it ASAP! (The kinder, gentler explanations.)

Seriously, I think the new format is great and I'll be looking forward to learning all the new methods. Thanks for keeping us on our toes!

When you have time, could you include an explanation of how we make bullet points. They look so neat.

I love that yellow highlight. From now on I'll use it when I write Bill Clinton.

Thanks for all your hard work, John! Now I know why blockquote has been hanging around even with closed tags -- and why my shotgun misfired last night. :-)

I don't know why so many use < blockquote > when < ol > serves essentially the same purpose.
