Yes. IP addresses will change. Haven't been assigned my block yet, when that is assigned I'll post what FR's address will be.
To: John Robinson
I am lost already! Everytime I learn the new system......! LOL. I don't know computer talk well enough to understand all that you said, such as decoupled, I guess that means divorced or something.
I am sure you will do whatever is necessary to make this forum better and we will learn it again.
Just hope someone explains it in English to those of us who are not so computer lingo savvy, like me!
To: Uncle George
What about a "Barf Alert" topic? Since you can post the same story in many topics, it would be easy to just tag @barf into the topic list.
To: jjbrouwer
There could be a British topic, members are free to create topics, and region-specific topics will have their own "group" within the topic list.
It would be up to Jim and the Brits if FR is to host a completely seperate Brit forum with moderators, own user list, etc. But that is possible.
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub; RonDog
Thanks for the info.
To: lelio
I'm interested in XML, and very interested in some kind of backend to FR where programs can download stuff quickly. Don't see it in the immediate future, but it sure would be nice.

To: WHATNEXT?
Spell check would be nice. It is requested enough, it should make it in one of these days.
To: Don Joe
No, I don't work for anybody on the net. I'm really trying to get my own scam site going and I really would like to get a mailing list of suckers interested people going so I could offer my extremely valuable counsel and advice. Please send the requested info for further information. Absolute confidentiality guaranteed...... Honest..... I mean it....... Really......... Trust me..........

OK - well that sounds promising. There seems to be a pretty good team spirit among the Brits and we are organising a social get together next month in Central London. So maybe we can bash heads together then (not literally!) and come up with a few ideas.

"Archives" are now under the "Search" button. Searches now scour all articles in the database, however only their titles are searched.

To: John Robinson
I hope FR doesn't turn into endless cliques where only "members" are allowed. I was hoping this would be an open conservative forum where serious ideas are discussed.
To: John Robinson
A suggestion:
Right now you can go from reply to top of thread (by clicking the reply number to jump to a spot toward the top of the article), but not from top of thread to all responses to that thread. Some times someone writes something as a reply that gets so many replies that it almost makes it a separate thread and it would be nice to be able to go down that "fork" exclusively. As things are now, you would scroll through all the responses to the article and not really know whether people are replying to the article or the reply. I hope this makes sense.
To: Lancey Howard
I probably didn't explain that right. Decoupled. I mean, when you start a thread, there will be no text box for a comment. You can always post your comment after posting the text of the thread if you have a comment to post.
Private forums. For example, planning committees for Free Republic events may wish to have their own private forum. And there already is a "Forum Advisory Board" forum and Moderator forum, both private.
