Hmmmm, ever since this morning's brief outage, every time I come here I have to log in anew. Can this be changed? Getting very annoying.

Are you accessing FR through the URL "www.freerepublic.com", or just "freerepublic.com"? If it's the latter, that's your problem. Only "www.freerepublic.com" recognizes the cookie that allows you to stay permanently logged in. If you come in through "freerepublic.com", you'll have to re-login constantly.

This happened to me once, and it took me a month and a half to figure it out! *grin*

there was a period of time when an old bookmark from earlier than today that ended with "/perl/latest" rather than the current "/focus/news/browse" requiired you to re-log....apparently it has been fixed or debugged because for the last few hours the perl/latest automatically moves your screen to the newer command.

Libertypost.org says it is unfettered, unmoderated, for open and free discussion, surely they'd welcome us over there in our time of need. : )

Thanks for the heads-up. The problem seems to have corrected itself now. I DO use the whole www. address, btw. A number of others have let me know that they were experiencing the same thing. Thanks alot!!

SINCE we're sort of on the subject...when I logged in the first time this morning, I responded to a different thread, and also checked my email...and opened this thread too. The response to the first thread was fine. I tried to respond to JimRob on this thread, and it told me my posting privilidges had been revoked for...of all things..."Defending the Taliban"....SLIGHTLY confused (and a little annoyed at the Taliban-defender thing), I brought my FReepmail page to the front...and it was not my freepmail. It belonged to somebody named "Azkaban" or something....should have written it down. It began with an "A" and was three syllables, anyway.

I didn't have time to deal with it this morning....when I logged back in right before noon...I was able to post to this thread (obviously) and my FReepmail was MY OWN FReepmail. So, whether hack attack or adminburp, everything seems fine now.
