8. In the tabs at the top of the page, you'll see a link for Greatest Threads

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=greatest_threads

When DUers feel a post is particularly interesting, and want it to get a wider viewing, they can click the Recommend button on an OP. Enough recs will send a post high on the Greatest page, where perhaps more people will see it.

Also, people will frequently post a "Kick & rec" reply as a sort of compliment to the OP of a thread they approve of...

9. If a post gets 5 or more recs, it goes to The Greatest Page where more people are likely to see it.

If you look at the top of a DU page, you see tabs that say
Home
Latest Threads
Greatest Threads
etc

When you click on Greatest Threads, you get a page where posts are listed according to the number of recs they got
and by when they were posted.

11. Thank you for that astute analysis and valued opinion.

I think I'll come visit your house and complain about the decor

12. You need to reply to 10 other threads before you can start your own.

Good luck fitting in with your attitude.

13. Walk right in, sit right down
