Would you like to be instantly notified whenever someone flags you responds to one of your posts?

Would you like to be instantly notified when you get FReepmail? Well look no further than this!

Just click on that, and one should pop up.

Save this URL as a bookmark (in your Internet Explorer) named "Free Republic," and you should be able to start up the "pager" window every time you log on to FR.

JohnRob created this (I think) in order to save system resources, with this "pager" you don't need to use the full "self-search" feature anymore.

Seen this feature yet?

My window pops up but I don't get the ping noise...am I doing something wrong?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yes, I have. Thanks.

[ArGee]

I'm doing all I can to keep from going to that link.

As if FR weren't damaging enough to my productivity.

Thanks for the ping.

Shalom.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you for the ping.

The pager feature is great. But, could you change the title of the pager window to something more descriptive, such as "FR Pager" or "Pager"? It's too easy to mistake it for a normal FR window, and I'm liable to right-click and close it from the Windows taskbar before realizing it's the one that needs to stay open.

Most windows don't say "Free Republic," they have the title of the article or "Latest Posts" or something.

Just don't close the one called "Free Republic"

Well, I made sure that my toolbar had 'links' checked. I made the +++Pager+++ part of favotites, and I know that it is imbedded somewhere on the 'links' bar (but I can't see it unless I click on the two >> on the right side of the 'link' bar.) BUT I don't see any box.. Does the box only show up when one is pinged?

Does anyone make housecalls for those who lack "fine computer technique' abilities?

LOL!!!

Okay, I'll live with that.

Next problem:

1. Click any "View Replies" link (find one that actually has replies).
2. Pass your cursor over the links on the Replies page; notice the URL for each in the status bar.
3. See that quite a few of them are invalid; they point to http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a.htm

I'm using IE 5, if that matters.

Thanks for all you do. This new style is, without question, fantastic.

Test, test, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - testtesttest, is this thing on? Testing, testing

Just right-click on this and select "add to favorites"

[Exit148]

I was able to get it on 'favorites', xm, and I have 'notification' on the links bar ----BUT ---- It doesn't drop down or ping me with any noise when a message comes in.

[xm177e2]

Just leave the window open but minimized while you surf, and it should make noise when you get a reply.

[Silly]

it should make noise when you get a reply.

A "ping ding."
