new to the DU site- need some help
how exactly do i :
- "kick and repeat" a post
- recommend a post to other DU'ers
- put images in my sig line
= new reply since forum marked as read
K&R means kick and recommend. The way you kick a post is simply to post in it. That automatically "kicks" the post back up to the top of the page. A simple recommendation won't do that.
You can recommend a post by clicking on the box that says "DU recommend".
I don't know how you put images in your sig line, but hopefully someone who does will come along to answer that one!
I hope you'll enjoy the site.
And then just pop a URL up in there!
Some of the links are universal, but I know if it's Java it's not going to behave like a link.
Happy New Year, Make7
Kick, just means to post a reply.
Rec, means to hit the recommend button on left side, bottom, of the original post.
OP means Original Post or Original Poster.
So, K and R means kick and recommend.
Images in your sig line will come in a different lesson.
For now, lets work on our K an R!
... (or in a post) and the DU software will display the image. For example, pasting this in your sig (or a post)...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/imgs/logo.gif
... should display this...
Although the file format needs to be a jpeg, gif or png (I think those are the only ones that work) - and images used signatures will be scaled down to 100px high and/or 400px wide if they are larger than that (again I think those are the dimension limits - I'm too tired to look them up to double check).
