Free Republic

I post many items here, from business to politics and evrything in between, and sometimes entertainment as a nice distraction from all of the corrupt politicians. Recently I tried to post an article about a supermodel who is pregnant. I thought it was a mistake after it was pulled the first time, but it was pulled a second. What is so objectionable to this news item? And is there a place we can look for a set of rules, as I have seen much worse than this posted int he past.

It's time for a new HTML reference so you can make your posts look cool. HTML means Hyper Text Markup Language. It's a set of simple commands used to format the text of your posts, add images, or links, or change the appearance. URL is Uniform Resource Locator. It's the name of the page or the picture that you see, the www.http:// stuff. You'll need to use the URL to make links and post pictures. Quotation Marks Quotes have to be used around the URLs for web pages and images on Free Republic. Some systems do not require this. Ours...

I cannot get rid of the "New Posts to You" indicator at the top of my login. What must I do? I have read every post to mee since I started on here. Help

I can't seem to post threads or even replies.I wonder, am I logged in?

Is Free Republic frozen for some reason? Stuff from 10:30 am today is the last stuff showing up. A test.

Can't read posts....or nothing.

I posted "Under Pressure, Obama Calls on Iran to End Violence, 'Unjust' Actions" from foxnews: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/20/republicans-pressure-obama-support-iranian-protesters/ about 30 min to an hour ago it close to 50 replies and around 600 views and it is gone.

Have a new Blackberry Bold bought specifically to keep up with email and favorite website FR. Anyone know how to view, say, the Latest Articles page without the sidebar knocking out the body of the page. As it loads you see the titles of the threads and body, but as it continues to load the sidebar knocks that off the page. Sorry, I'm new at this. Do I need to change Java script? Change the "Browsing Experience"? I don't really know what questions to ask. Thanks in advance for any advice. My freeping addiction needs to be fed if possible!

How to tell if you've been FReeping too longIf some, many or all of the following apply to you, you probably have been FReeping too long. You remember when you had to know basic HTML in order to form a decent post.  You remember when the entire thread had to be 86’d in order to remove a single post.  You remember when if someone forgot to close their italics, bold tags, the entire thread after that point was in bold or italics.  You remember when if a disruptor made a mess of things during the wee hours of the night,...

There are some really annoying liberal trolls on Free Republic who have survived for months and years without being banned. Why is Free Republic allowing them to stay? We have enough liberalism and left wing lunacy on 90% of the media and we do not need this crap on this forum. It is not difficult to spot these trolls. A quick review of their posting history will prove without any shadow of doubt that they are liberal trolls. Some of them try to mask it but they cannot fool the vast majority of us. There are plenty of left wing...

So we know who John Galt is...but what about his cousin, Hugh Series?

I know Freepers will solve this one quick, I now have 2 Vista computers thank you for the pity, and on both FR (and I guess other sites but I mainly care about FR) does not refresh every time I reopen Internet Explorer, I always have to press the refresh symbol. I never had this problem on my XP running computers. I can't find how to change the refresh rate. Thanks in advance computer wizarda.

Posting embedded video on forums threads is common among internet discussion sites. I don't see why we can't have that on FR. It won't put any additional burden on the FR servers and will save posters and readers the inconvenience of leaving FR to visit an external site (Youtube, etc). Policy makers please consider this. Thanks.

I've gone to everything under accounts and I can't find it. Thanks, FA

I haven't been able to reach it for over a day now, what's up?

Can we not post Associated Press articles?

So why am I not allowed to post like I use to without it being screened first? I have tried to post 2 other threads and they don't show up at ALL. Can someone steer me where I am wrong here in getting my posts posted?? What am I doing wrong???? Or is it that you can not post here without it being screened firs? I hope the latter is wrong.

Does anyone know how long FR has been linked on Drudge? Thanks, Silly
