Two, it wouldn't let me login with my memorized password the first time. I would always get that if I had had the home page up but the computer had gone to sleep since my last login (this happened with every platform and in every browser, but wasn't anything to complain about), but it's going to be a pain if this happens when I visit the page for the first time after launching the browser.

That should be a one time thing. There is a setting when you long in, how long you want to stay logged in, be sure to set that to forever.   Otherwise, it's up to your browser to store your account info (name, pwd) for auto logging into websites.


I'll let you know if I have any issues with that ongoing. I have always set the setting to "forever" with the previous version, but the common experience was that login would not be successful if the PC had gone to sleep while the browser was running since the previous login, and as noted that happened despite the browser or the platform. (If I quit the browser before it slept and relaunched it after, there was no issue, but I have my browser clear its history and cookies upon quit.)

YIKES indeed! I completely forgot about that. I probably would have remembered when I wanted to look at it  ;D

OK, getting that back up again, thanks for reminding me, John!

You might want to add this site on there when you get a chance (or the map if there's a way to link to it).  I've found this f0F2 map very useful when the various graphs were down-- like most of them right now:

Yeah, I had it saved on a browser link since I go there so often...

Hi Chris!

I like the new lay-out also!

Question >  Is it an idea  to make it possible to post MP3 's (or other extensions)
of  "RX-Recordings"  direct in topic(s)?

Back in the days when Men were Men, and Giants walked the earth, the FRN had a failure that shut it down. In an attempt to fill the gap, someone set up a similar site, trying to continue the FRN tradition.

Someone else saw this as an opportunity, and registered with this new site as "Commander Bunny", before the "real thing" had a chance. The "real thing" was apoplectic when it found that it couldn't use this identity, and raged many accusations, all wrong.

Not long after, the FRN was restored, and, of course, the FRN is no longer an important part of Pirate Radio. Still, the mystery persists.

There should be a login in the upper left corner of the window.
