Hi, I am having trouble staying logged in to FR on my iPad. No problem with my phone. It is aggravating. Help!!!

What's with the recent trend of tagging articles with palin or sarahpalin that have nothing to do with Sarah Palin? If your article has nothing to do with Palin, please don't tag it as such. It's bad enough that journalists use her name to get hits to their articles or as a cheap source of writing material. We don't need that attitude here too. Just because people want to increase traffic to their posts, doesn't mean they should tag their posted articles with palin or sarahpalin. This just clutters the keyword/tagging system.

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

Ok, let me get a couple critical things out of the way first. Yes, I am logged in. Never met a moose. I don't have a sister. I do like cheese. I am not running CP/M. I have Googled this. I'm pretty sure it's Bush's fault. I hope I got everything out of the way, but I'm sure if I didn't, it will be pointed out in a bold, 24 point font. Yesterday, I had two machines, one running XP Home, one running Win2k. After fixing a friend of mine's computer (why is it that the only time women ever...

I'm thinking John Wayne. Who else has acted in more motion pictures?

OSLO (Reuters) - A couple who sparked outrage by having sex on stage in front of thousands of stunned rock concert goers in Norway shocked again on Tuesday when the man pulled down his trousers in court. "Oops, I must have dropped my pants," Tommy Hol Ellingsen, 28, said as he stripped in front of reporters during a break at a local court in Kristiansand, southern Norway. Hol Ellingsen and Petra Leona Johansson, 22, were in court after refusing to pay a fine of 10,000 crowns ($1,574) each for copulating on stage during a concert in July. The two, who...

So lots of changes to FR lately . . . and change is good. Except for one change. When I go to a thread - any thread - I can only see 50 posts at a time. That's not enough. I want as many answers per page as I can get - 250, the way it used to be! I've gone to More, then to My Preferences, and set Views to 250. Several times.

For reasons I truly not do understand, a number of threads I posted to tonight to got pulled from News / Activision. Now, that's okay. It isn't my board. As far as I'm concerned, J&J can run it however they want. I would, however, like to know what the rules are. It is very annoying to spend fifteen minutes writing what you think will be an accepable post, only to go back and find that the entire thread has been yanked. There was *nothing* about any of those (the threads) that I thought was least bit objectionable. They were on...
