How about an automatic spell checker on the comment

can only start a thread after so many posts

What you're suggesting is a multiple level membership.
How about basing it of sign up date instead?
I suggest thread startup not be allowed by anyone signing up after
March 11, 2003.

;-)

Also, maybe it's time to remove the "Anthrax Scare" category from Hot Topics.

I think it would be great if the "Anthrax Scare" category was replaced by a "Polls to Freep" category.

Opera Browser has that too. I do enjoy that feature.

I've always wanted to be able to search for an article by using the writer's name, which isn't always in the title.

Ditto.

I remember a post a few months after the Columbia shuttle breakup that pointed to a thread starting about an hour prior to touchdown. You could relive the whole sequence of anticipation to horror.

Eab was talking about it in the agitator chat room before the link was started at FR. He had a link to the NASA room, and the people were just sittin there. They didn't seem excited or worried or anything when they lost contact with the shuttle.

We were wondering how they could lose a shuttle.

Think about this too, if you are in a debate with someone...then the have the ability to change their words.

Yes, they would be able to change their words, but not their original post. As such, any interested party could click on the history and view the original post. As is sometimes done with the article of certain threads, like so: History

Right click, open in new tab. it's the only way to FReep.

I've also found that -Click opens the link in a new tab, but I'd still like the option to have it default with just a click.

Something that flags material from to a copyright touchy source - before it can be posted

Agree.

I agree with #2. I've been frustrated w/ the amount of vanities. When I first started freeping there were hardly ANY vanities, and people got flamed for posting a worthless vanity...now it's commonplace.

Is this is what you have in mind?
We can look just like one of those UBB threads, or like DummyCrat Underground.

Actually, I think FreeRepublic has the most easily followable (is that a word?) thread styles of any site on the web. Change nothing (except maybe adding "ignore" ...)

I'd like to see a block feature, similar to the Yahoo! Messenger where you can block correspondence with people who you have no wish to associate.

It will keep flames down and save bandwidth. I'm not for hitting "abuse" nor squelching speech. I think of it as Freedom of Association.

I would like the ability to re-edit a post. I know we have a preview - but we all have our own ability to not see our own mistakes - until it's too late and posted.
