I Don't Like this New Format - Go Back to the Old One.

Sorry to complain, but for years, "Latest Posts" worked well to get around.

This is....icky.

[deport]

Go to the top of the Latest Posts Page to the Drop down Menu at DESTINATIONS (top right hand corner of the page).... then select Mail

Didn't want you to miss the thread.

look at the DU site

No need to set the bar that low.

Bare with me, I'm blonde! *L*

Did you really mean "bare with me"? I'd be happy to, but I suspect that you meant "bear with me" and I wouldn't want to embarass myself unnecessarily.

also - self search has no way to move to other types of displays.

Hopefully that ability to do so will be returning to the forum.

I've posted articles about a dozen times. I tried yesterday, with the new format, and it just wouldn't post. What's with that?

I'm a retired engineer. There was an expression in my field, when engineers kept tweaking and tweaking a system. It was "Shoot the engineer and ship the system". Appropriate here?

Heck it's after midnight here, and I'm on painkillers (tooth infection)...so who knows what I meant! *LOL*

What is it telling you when you attempt to post an article and it won't post?

I don't like the new format either. I don't like switching between forums to see the latest posts. I wish I there was an option to view *all* latest posts on *all* forums.

The new format isn't nearly as user-friendly as the old one IMHO.

Just my $0.02.

That can't be said too often.

We've had this feature for years-- it is how the private FAB forum and private Moderator forum are implemented.

[Willie Green]

Those must be the forums #2 and #3 that are "skipped" for the rest of us I suppose.

Thanks for the reply!

It's telling me that posting an article is not as straight-forward as it once was. Is that progress?

I repeat: Shoot the engineer and ship the system.

Have you access to Rebel Yell? It'll stop the pain, one way or the other.

[christine]

i prefer the old format as well. in fact, i still really miss the 'taglines' that we used to have way back when!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I LOVE FREE REPUBLIC!!!

These changes are wonderful! Everything that was here before is still here PLUS a bunch of really cool extras! (except for the ability to see ALL articles/replies, which I'm sure you'll fix - hehe)

It looks pretty, it's functional, it's clean, and it's free!

FR just keeps getting better. THANK YOU JIM AND JOHN!

WOW!!!!!

[TangoLimaSierra]

Oops that should be 'bear with me', right?

Dangit! Putting clothes back on. (grumble grumble)
