Free Republic

Been out to the back 40 today. Toil on Sunday....non-skilled but necessary grunt work leaves time for prayer and reflection. Anyway, I get done, showered, and supped, then FReep on....whaaa? The format is totally changed. All quick links to Breaking, and Activism is gone. Ten and the beginning of an 11th thread is as far as I can scroll. I hit NextPage, and the full 11th doesn't show. Clicking on a thread, is about the same maybe the first dozen replies; to read any more of the replies, it must have 50+. I went to my account, and all the...

Hopefully, John will check his messages soon and get the problem fixed, but until then, the temporary workaround is to go to Account and My Preferences and set 20 messages per page and 20 results per page: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/settings Sorry about the problem, Jim

Odd observation, but it has been seen in six different threads the past few minutes: The thread title, and the usual FreeRepublic title block will display. But only 14 to 18 replies are displayed, and no end-of-thread links nor the usual FreeRepublic lower page links.

Woo hoo!!

I have a tech question: how does one make a jpeg picture link viewable as a picture on free republic? For example, if I want to show this jpeg photo of President Reagan and Mrs. Thatcher: http://www.donnamoderna.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/media/images/moda/accessori/thatcher/ronald-reagan-e-margaret-thatcher/67684353-1-ita-IT/Ronald-Reagan-e-Margaret-Thatcher.jpg How can I show the photo itself and not just the link? Many thanks in advance to whoever can show me how to do this.

OK fellow FR ping list managers, here is a place to gather, to chat and to identify issues that we need help with. Me first, since this is my thread. The pro-life/Catholic ping list is now so large that the system pings twice and three times all too often. Any ideas on fixing this?

Can't get beyond the first 17 replies in a thread.....http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2982894/posts?page=87#87

Sorry that the truncating pages and missing sidebars problem is back again. I'm trying to reach John so he can fix it. No luck so far. Hope he checks his messages soon. I've also asked him what causes this, but he hasn't answered. Hoping we can get a permanent fix soon. Meanwhile, the work around is to set the number of results and items per page to 20 each. Look for the "My Preferences" link under "Account" at the top of any of the latest posts index pages. Thanks

Help! Today I started getting pop-ups while Posting Comments on Free Republic. I am also getting some of the words and terms in my comment turned into hyperlinks. This is in Firefox 18.0.1 Popup Blocker is "On" in Firefox Options. Any ideas? Thanks!

Lost my sidebars and scrolling down again!! It was fine just a moment ago!

Free Republic is only showing a few posts at http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/index. When one goes to the next page a lot of posts are skipped. Anyone else seeing this?

All I see is the sidebar for breaking news on my left, and I logged out and logged in again I am going to taqke a shower, keep posting if anything new happens!

FR page lay out looks strange on my computer. Wondering if anybody else is having this problem? Looks like something is screwy with the HTML.

The Freerepublic pages are not fully loading, leaving the pages cutoff in the middle of a comment. The navigation selections at the bottom of the pages are not accessible.

I'm only getting about 8 postings at a time this morning. Anybody else having trouble viewing FR's normal number of postings? jagusafr

Who is blocking comments on the Free Republic I used to love. (Used to being the KEY WORD here). Has Jim been warned not to let anything controversial (anti Obama - anti government) pass? Have we lost our right of free speech? Yes. It definitely has been or is being enforced on FR this past month or so.

With Free Republic surely getting slammed tomorrow, what is an on-line alternative to TV with the ability to post comment?

Some good news perhaps. John says he has found a problem with one of the servers and he's going to try to configure around it. But it'll take him a couple hours or more before he's ready to test it. Hang in there. Prayers up that it works!

This site has been a frustrating disaster for the last week. What the he'll is going on? I can't get the page to load but 1 of 4 attempts. I'm about to give up, and I've been a member since 1998. Please tell me this will be fixed before Tuesday!!
