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!

http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/notify?detach=1

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.

2) it works by making a chime noise, and it turns blue when it's got something for you, otherwise it's white

Hm, mine doesn't do either of those things. It's there, and it changes when I have a post to read, but chimes and colors? Uh-uh.

Hold down the Ctrl (control) key and hit "D"

That's COOL. I'll be using it a lot. Thanks!

We need a new slogan for Freerepublic. How about "Leaving Democratic Underground in the dust - one applet at a time." (they've got to be so jealous.)

Is there any way to change the noise? It sounds just like the noise from my Outlook Express. (I keep checking my friggin' mailbox!)

Really cool feature, BTW.

Heh, cute slogan. You're right, of course. They're jealous of everything at FR, including that photo album LBGA put up. They tore it [and everyone on it] to shreds, but they never put up their photos at DU. Tooooooooooo ugly I imagine!

Huh, now it works. Ping and blue and everything. Maybe it was just a browser burp before.

Thanks for the ping!

Whenever you post a reply to someone, or put their name in the "To:" box, it's considered a "Ping."

Think of it as "whenever I make someone's FR pager beep, it's a ping"

When you play a video game on the Internet, your "ping" is the amount of time, in milliseconds, it takes for you to send a packet of information to the server, and then for that packet to be sent back to you.

In FR's case, it just means you post a reply that appears on their self-search, and gets their attention.
