Ok, I'm a complete newbie here.

I saw the explanation above about Bumps, but can anyone explain What Pings are and how Freepmail works? If there is a FAQ that covers these 2, please just point me in that direction, but I haven't managed to find it myself.

Welcome to Free Republic!!!

A "ping" is a reply posted for the purpose of bringing an article to the attention the recipients named on the "to" list.

To use Freep mail, select the pull-down menu on the "Destinations" box in the upper right hand corner of the forum. One of the options is "my mail."

You can also click on anyone's handle in a reply post and send a Freep mail. If you have messages waiting, a notice will appear in the upper left hand corner.

I shall Freep mail you right after posting this so you can see how the notice appears!

Hey thanks!! I didn't realize this was here. I just clicked behind your name and your profile answered my questions. LOL It's so nice to meet you. We are moving to Jacksonville FL soon, not far from you.

Thanks for the invite AG!

I have a newbie question for anyone.
Do you know where the download is for a program
to VIEW SOURCE of a PORTION of a web page?
I saw it posted when I was too green
to know when to or why to use it.

I've learned a little and now could put it to good use.

Also, glad you like the pings I'm sending.

I see your question has been answered already! And thank you so much for the pings!!! Free Republic has gotten so busy lately, it is much easier to read the ping threads before scrolling down through the articles list!!!

Hmmm ... I'm not a big bookmark user, but it appears you can click on "scroll to commentary" and get the hot link to "bookmark article." Thanks for asking!
