Is anyone else having the problem of FR logging them out after a short time? Mine started this afternoon and it seems to log me off and I need to login after 30 minutes of inactivity.

No 'are you logged in' jokes please. :) I keep getting logged out - anyone else having the problem today?

Alright, silly question here, I admit. I've been an occasional lurker/poster on FR for close to four years now, and while I'm on several ping lists, I've never managed one. I was hoping to get a little advice on the logistics of getting one rolling. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm just interested to know if there's clear guidance anywhere on FR as to what can and can't be posted. I've just had an entire thread pulled which consisted of an article by one of Australia's best known journalists in one of Australia's largest mainstream newspapers referencing a US political situation (I'm avoiding mentioning what it is, because the thread was pulled and I respect there may be good reasons for that - the topic was a confronting one). It's the first time that's happened to me though in three and half years on FR, so I just want to...

Forgive me, but how do you attach a picture to be displayed with your post? I can't figure it out! lol help! I'm running Mac OSX

I was trying to think of all the common phrases that are posted on virtually every thread. I am not sure if there is even a listing on here. Maybe they could be listed here. Here are some examples: We are doomed!!! It's Bush's Fault! It's Global Warming. Search is your friend. (I think this is one)

Is anyone else having a problem with the "My Comments" page? For several days, the lines have been extending way beyond the edge of the window.

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right spot. I've only ever posted news stories before. Just a question: How do I make italics in a comment when quoting an article or comment?

What happened?

It seems to me that we are getting a lot of new members and the following may be helpful to them. Live in a solid "red" state and when anybody complains about some asinine law in their blue state, tell them to "just move from there". The simplistic solution is always the best one. Refer to California as Californicate or Kalifornia. The people's republic of (insert state name here) is always good. When an article appears about something negative happening in public schools, proudly proclaim that all your kids are home schooled and geniuses to boot. Extra points if you...

For awhile now I've noticed that many of you have a personal motto or comment by your username when you post. After searching the site for some time I still cannot figure out how to do this (I'm sure this is a duh-moment).Can anyone help?

Is there a standard procedure here for having a private conversation with a moderator?

How do you italicise excerpts from someone's post when you reply?

I recieved this in my Freep-mail today and I find it disturbing to say the least.

Not to delve into a browser war here, but I've noticed that my FreeRepublic bookmarked icon keep changing. Earlier this week, it looked like Hillary with a gaping mouth. Today it is a green top hat. Whenever I navigate to "http://www.freerepublic.com/favicon.ico" the standard white star icon reappears in my list of favorites once I restart the IE7 browser. Any suggestions on taming this icon bronco?

reference It's not exactly a tragedy since virtually every news article at the Fox News site can be found elsewhere. I'm just curious, that's all. :)

Ok, this is a free for all thread. Come in and take your best shots. I promise I won't delete it or get upset. Get it out of your systems and then we will see if we can solve the problems. There always several sides to any story and several possible solutions to any problem. I'd like to hear them all and I'd like to solve as many problems as we can and get this forum kicking socialist butt again instead of kicking each other. So, please anyone with a complaint or a problem or a possible solution, (moderators, posters, ...
