Freeper Help Thread (Ask Any Questions For The New Format)

[Texaggie79]

Ask any questions you have about the new forum here.

I have a question.

How long before you guys admit that this has all been a colossal mistake, and restore the status quo ante? (and I mean ante separate forums)

if your I.Q. is below room temperature, it may take you 20 minutes to figure this site out. If your I.Q. is above room temperature, 5 minutes shoud suffice. Please give it a shot without posting a whiney complaint vanity using the words, 'sucks', 'blows', 'stinks' or 'awful'."

There's a shot I got a higher score on one of my SAT's (before they dumbed down the tests and made the average score 80 points higher) than your combined score, if you took the test.

I gave it a shot.

It sucks!

The wave problem on the forums page can somewhat be stopped by changing your browswer text size to medium.

I must be one of those with a lower than room temp IQ. How do I change browser text to medium? I'm running XP.

I don't understand at all why we have a poll question. Especially if it at the cost of space for news items I want to see without scrolling down.

Is there really a big question as to the political leanings of those who subscribe to Free Republic?

Let's leave the polling to other sites.

You can get Quick Spell at www.fornada.com/

We just lost a $25.00 monthly from Web TV user, Evidently there is a webtv problem with this format.

From an eye doctors point of view. the page is way too " busy". Very distracting.

Plus, light blue print on dark blue background is a no no. It will literally be invisable to some people.

The only place you will see content form GI and News/Activism is in self search. Otherwise they are separated. Politics in N/A and all else in GI

What if I don't know the exact screenname?

[Texaggie79]

Separate forums will make more sense as the membership base grows and FReepers will be utilizing FR to discuss and form groups on everything under the sun.

[AppyPappy]

per/latest is a redirect so the code may still be there.

[Texaggie79]

The poll? not currently

[rwfromkansas]

What is up with searching? I can't find any articles that are after the year 2000 or so.

[Publius6961]

Is there an HTML file or text file that shows all the nuances and methods to use the new format?
I don't mind new... just new and undecipherable

Hafta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

[nunya bidness]

Thanks. How do I get breaking news to be at the top? I tried to subscribe and unsubscribe but front page ends up on top.

Also do you know if there's a way to get more than five articles to show in the breaking box?

[Texaggie79]

I haven't been able to do that for a while. I use Google for that. Plus you can't post in them anyways.

[Texaggie79]

The topic that has the most recent post will be at the top. And I do not know of a way to edit the amout of articles it shows.
