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

[Texaggie79]

Ask any questions you have about the new forum here.

Are there any plans to add more than 5 news items in the sidebars?

[nunya bidness]

Tim's not here.

How about an easy "mash here" way to get to the Freeper's Profile page where you can ping all the folks in your State with your State flag? It's is useful in reporting things like Anti-tax riots in Tenn.

I could do that yesterday.

can't do it now.

BINGO.... we have a winner....

Things have changed so we'll have to see what developes down the road as the forum is tweaked.

[Bella_Bru]

Thank you both! :-)

[Tom Jefferson]

Ok. I have figured out how to get certain topics in the sidebar,but I like to have Breaking News at the top of the sidebar. No matter what I do about subscribing in a certain order, I can't get Breaking News at the top. Is there a way to put the topics in the sidebar in a particular order???

[Texaggie79]

They are ordered by whichever has the most recent post.

[Balata]

I see many new Bells and Whistles, but where's the "Spell Checker"?:^)

[deport]

Is there a way to put the topics in the sidebar in a particular order???

yes select only one and it will remain at the top.... No seriously, they rotate with whichever one had the latest post when you hit refresh. Maybe John will allow the locking into position of your choosing in the future tweaks....

[Sir Gawain]

It's ok. Everybody tells me I look younger than I really am. :-)

I love the flag as much as anyone but don't want it cluttering up the page on which posts are listed. It certainly belongs on the index page, no problem. Can this be changed?

Regards.

[Texaggie79]

I use Quick Spell. A program that checks your spelling in everything you do in Windows.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think the flag border is classy.

[Texaggie79]

You can also go to My Preferences and set up how you want to see lists.

[Texaggie79]

I thought he might be talking about the "United We Stand" image

The wave problem on the forums page can somewhat be stopped by changing your browswer text size to medium. Other than that I call it high winds and heavy seas. Enough to make anyone rather sea sick.

[Balata]

Thanks. In the box where you type your response there is a Preview button and HTML Help. It just seems to me to be a great place to put a spell checker.

[nunya bidness]

You got a link for QuickSpell, Sparky?

[HairOfTheDog]

You know what I think is a cool new thing? - That we can view "sent" FReepmails... If we could do this before, I didn't know how, and I sometimes forgot what I had said when I got replies back.

Mr. Aggie, how do you view all posts from all forums in a "lastest posts" page as opposed to just the posts under a certain forum? I like poopy pools, Spurgeon, evolution, and CFR-bashing all in one page...
