Great song, but you stil don't get it. What I am saying, If I don't know what to search for, how can I search for it? It might have been posted in the morning, but if I don't know it was there or what it was about, how could I know what to look for? Many articles might have been of interest to me or who-ever, but we don't know that they were posted, how can we know what to search for? Your comments please. The night people are at a disadvantage here, I have been a lurker for about 8 years and this is one of my major problems with your web site.

Sorry, but the latest post page is too large to be repeated for each shift. Suggestion, start at the top and scroll down. Then when you get to the bottom of the page and have read all threads you are interested in, click on "More." Repeat until you've scanned all threads for the day. On most days there are around 500 threads in the main forum. When you finish scrolling through all of those, then you can start on the other forums.

Oh, be sure your setting is for "Threads" only. It will take forever to get through 20 to 25 thousand posts if you have it set for "Messages."

Or, maybe a volunteer or two or three will step forward to maintain a "Most Important Threads of the Day" thread.

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot about this little ditty:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/my/review

There is a link to a program called "Review" in your personal menu (Click on your screen name at the top right corner of the latest posts page).

Depending on how you've configured your sidebar settings, you will get an overview of the topics of which you're most interested. And there is a "More" link at the bottom of each column to display more articles after you've read all on the main list. Use your right mouse click to open in new window.
