But I am not sure how one edits an existing name in the list.
I have added another name to the list -- Taliban_List which seemed to work fine.
That sounds like a good one, You, Sierrawasp and Carry_Okie I would guess would be heavy contributors!
To me it seems much more efficient!
Example: I want to notify everyone who's interested in 2nd Amendment issues that there's new legislation being intiated. I type "bang_list" in the "To:" box. Everyone who has registerd to have their name added to the list will be notified.
Could this work similar to the "All" function?
You have to initiate a search for the threads that have been "tagged" or "Indexed" .
Just go to the OFFICIAL BUMP LIST register and click on the topic list you want to look up!
If you see an article regarding this topic just put
Anthrax_Scare_List
in the reply field in addition to the other names you place there!
.
John I think the Name should be changed from OFICIAL BUMP LIST to
OFFICIAL TOPIC LIST !
What about old articles , say on the bang_list and calpowercrisis?
Will this scheme pick up some of older threads?
So far, so good.
Then I went to a few relevent threads, and posted a reply To:Hugh Hewitt - and got the *Hugh Hewitt replies posted.
Problem is, I went back and MODIFIED the description - two or three times - to get it to display properly, and NOW the listing on http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/bump-list does NOT work.
It seems that the Hugh Hewitt listed on that page now points to http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/involved?group=81 - which has no threads, and NOT the original http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/involved?group=75 - which does.
I hope that this is a short term glitch, right?
(The old-fashioned Search for Articles + Replies to:"Hugh Hewitt" still works.)
Thanks. This is a WONDERFUL new feature. I love ALL the new changes!!!
Is it possible to put a "freeper name search link" on the posting page, so when a correctness check happens and finds no corresponding name, we can spawn another window and browse, say, an alphabetical list of all freeper names and list names? Or show possibilities for the nearest names to the incorrect name typed (including names of lists)?
I have not seen any problem with the lists that I spend a lot of time on.
But I will look closer to see if I am missing something!
It would be so much easier to remember!
How can I delete one or the other?
Thanks so much!
