With all the new changes going on, I was thinking of all the cool thing FR does. The notify feature was sweet and I JUST found out about it. Can anyone else thing of the cool things Freerepublic has to offer (must be a member to use)? Here is my list(with URL):

• Upload personalized style sheet(CSS) - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/edit-style
  
• Notify of replies/mail - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify?detach=1
  
• Settings for the new forum - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/settings
  
• Latest Posts (no explaination needed) - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/latest
  
• Self Search - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/involved
  
• Profile page - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profile
  
• FreeperMail - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/mail-index
  
• Locations - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/profiles
  
• FreeRepublic Options - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/options
  
• Edit your profile - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/edit-profile
  
• Edit your bookmarks - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/bookmarks
  
• Check FR Stats - http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/weekday-report
  

  These are some of my most used. Can anyone think of any others?

Thanks for the post. The notice of replies feature is awesome. Thank you Jim and John Rob!

The #1 bug on my list is documentation. As soon as I make a few more changes (as soon as things settle down) I'll write up some nice documentation for all that can be done.

Way cool! Bookmarked for sure.

I see the week of 12/11/00 has the highest replies 26,000+.

Gore conceded.

FR seems to be chewing up less bandwidth now.

[smith288]

the link is next to it.

Yes! Traffic was heavy on the sight that week, listen to me singing to the choir! By the way thank you for your hard work. You will be getting money from me at the end of the month sir. Well done.

I love the new software. I notice when I go to self-search and click on the post # that I go directly to the post (maybe it was always like that and I never noticed!! ) and 'Show Full' is great!

Good job.....am sending $hank you.

Hey, when i use the notify, it always opens a new window. Can you give the target window a name?

[error99]

...the link is next to it...
but that's not where you turn the feature on.
where do you do that?

[smith288]

I just visited the link and it opened up a little window and voila` it was there. Nothing special to turn it on that I know of.

bookmarked and thanks from a grateful FreeRepublic nation...

I think the problem is how do you get that to automatically pop-up when you visit FR? I, myself, would hate to have to go to the special link everytime I visit. I'd rather just do a self-search.

And thanks for all the hard work John. I am beginning to really like how you've changed things.

[John Robinson]

Isn't it named? I believe I named it "notify".

open('/perl/notify','notify','height=200,width=200')

I'm not terribly familar with JavaScript, if that's not what I did, do you know the syntax?

[error99]

thanks, i apparently was not being very clear with my question.

[smith288]

I just leave the window up all day... i hear a tone when i get something new. I enjoy that much more than hitting F5 all day long.

[John Robinson]

Thanks.

If I had a redirect URL on the URL which opens the little window, you would be able to bookmark, say... http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify?detach=1&url=http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/involved to get both the pager and a self-search in one bookmark. HRMMMM... (lightbulb)
