Fantastic!

These features are very nice; however, if they are to be the sole means of self-search then one is in trouble if one is looking for something he has posted longer ago than 100 posts. Thanks. Also, let me say that the break up of the thread into groups of fifty is VERY nice since one doesn't have to wait FOREVER on a modem connection for a huge thread to load. Thanks for that, too.

Thumbs up. For us dial-a-web types, everything is light years faster. Great job!

[Travis McGee]

When you think FR can't get any better....

BRILLIANT!

My self searches are showing all sorts of comments to me that aren't actually to me. I assume this has something to do with the new mass-flagging feature. Correct? Are you planning on keeping that feature? I can tell right now that it's going to be abused to no end and extremely annoying.

Also, can you fix it so that we can see who we're replying to when we look at self-search? All I'm seeing right now is #x from Sandy.

I like it.

[aristeides]

I take it we can only address members in good standing? That means disabling indexing "addresses" like "condidit".

[CathyRyan]

You have done a great job with the changes and the site looks wonderful. Could you change the All reply feature it is fustrating to go and check a reply only to find it is a general comment? Could you maybe add an ignore feature? There are some people I never want to hear from again as long as I live(or at least till I cool down). I am sure some others feel the same way about me too. ;)

PS. Maybe add spell check...I can dream. :)

Looks good John!

I'm a little late getting back to you. Been Grampaing since yesterday afternoon. Its a miracle both Grand kids are down for a nap at the same time. So Grampa can go on Free Republic and see what's happening here and in the world!

You new system looks better every 24 hours!

[SpencerRoane]

This is neat.

[CJinVA]

If someone posts a reply to "ALL", it shows up in my self search? Should it be doing that?

[185JHP]

Very fine feature. Kudos and thanks.

[Scutter]

This is great, John!

[Osinski]

The self search feature that I don't like is when someone puts all, it seems like a personal response to you.

Thanks for all your work. Loads on this old girl (my computer) lots quicker.

John, I do appreciate your efforts to streamline/upgrade the site and to conserve bandwidth. Your task can't be an easy one and I don't envy you at all. Trying to post this week has been a real trial during the high demand periods.

However, I'm afraid I'm in the crowd that wishes we weren't doing most of these changes. It doesn't help that I'm very techno-limited but I expect a majority of FReepers are in the same boat. I'm grateful we at least have the option to choose Old Style or New Style. Also, I like the time zone selection and the ability to see the entire thread rather than a limited number of post. Thank you for that. You might say I'm a Classic FreeRepublic devotee. I do not like at all the Self-Search changes that are being considered. As suggested, I suppose I could continue to do a search for my own name as I have had to do today, but I wouldn't want to do it all the time. My fingers are crossed that you aren't planning any changes to FReepmail, I don't even want to think about that possibility. The auto-ping to all posters on a thread when "All" is included in the To: field is maddening. Please, please take it away. In it's place would you please restore the little email option we used to have ? Please ? :)

Darlin' (I loved that little email/tagline option)

The new self-search is great.

I would like to eliminate or opt-out-of the "all" responses -- just want addressed mail.

[b4its2late]

I like both........

I was wondering what this was for?

Anyone know?

[Lady Jag]

Ooh, I like this! Excellent work.

[Wallaby]

As somebody who puts a lot of material on the bumper of a post, I'm particularly appreciative of the way long threads are now broken up, while still permitting easy navigation through all of the comments. Thanks!
