Ask any questions you have about the new forum here.
Is anyone able to do a search for posts from a specific FReeper? For example, to search for Jim Robinson, you could use this URL (http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/latest?from_user=1). Now my browser switches over to (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/browse), when I try this.
Thanks for the help!
The first time I clicked on today, it asked me all kinds of questions about my preferences that I did not have time to answer. I came back when I had more time, and now I don't get to answer the questions and set the preferences.
The first time I clicked on here today, I had bits of the Wisconsin forum running at the top of my page (a little confusing, since I'd been gone since Thursday). Now that feature has disappeared too, and it has only been about 3 hours since I last saw it.
I still haven't figured out where you get to select your sidebar. You know, that feature that everyone is talking about.
Please let me in on the secrets of the new forum. Why do I have to keep logging in? And, are we ever going to get spell-check???
Well, I start out on the Ohio Turnpike and head east... Just kidding...I just couldn't resist :)
Your best bet would be come in from the Atlantic Ocean, Port Elizabeth would be a lovely scenic treat!
I've refrained from commenting till now. I LIKE IT THIS WAY NOW!
Also, adding a Religion section was an excellent idea. I always thought that this should be done, but feared bringing it up because I thought people would misunderstand my intent. The closest I got was suggesting that a prayer thread for GW (as well as the GWB picture thread) should be in General interest since political discussion wasn't allowed. Somehow, I was labeled a Bush Basher for it!

LOLOL! I walked right into that!!!!! ROTF!
I use the GW if I'm going to Boonton and the Lincoln if I'm headed toward Philadelphia...Just kidding...I know you live in NJ and you probably meant to ask, "...how do I find New Jersey?"
True to tell, dear heart...we go by smell.
Got lots of directions from all you cards out there, but no help on a one-step link to my 'locale page'. Ah well, at least you guys/gals made me laugh!
Um---harrowup -- about that smell. Weather goes from West to East. NJ is located where?? You are located where?? HeHe?
Unanswered question from a different thread.The "Find in Forum" feature appears to have been RESTORED to individual profile pages!!!Is anyone able to do a search for posts from a specific FReeper? For example, to search for Jim Robinson, you could use this URL (http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/latest?from_user=1). Now my browser switches over to (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/browse), when I try this.
Just click on any FReeper's screen name to get to their profile page, then click on "Find in Forum" - i.e.:Jim Robinsonwhich now leads you to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/site/user-posts?id=1
On the contrary. It's been put back in its proper place, but it has by no means been "restored" to full utility.
Entering parameters to constrain the search now yields only error messages.
For example, I could find all messages to me or any other freeper(s) by entering "to:SarahW" or "to:tinfoilcase"
A freeper could find all messages "by:freepername" or "by:SarahW".
More complicated parameters than that could be entered as well.
Please restore the quick search "find in forum" to full utility.
