1. In general or did I miss something?

Yeah they do a great job. The MIRT team too.

[thucythucy]

4. Apparently there have been some technical issues.

I haven't had any problems, but it sounds like there have been issues (this morning?) with site navigation and the Rec. function.

Then again any time is a good time to thank the people here for all they do.

6. Yesterday afternoon when I visited DU it was like I was on denial of posting priveleges.

I could see that other people were posting and I could read but I couldn't REC or TRASH.
I could enter a response but it wouldn't post. If anyone didn't have this problem I'm
happy for you but you can still give a shout-out to the Admins that have saved the rest of
us from Internet Hell!

8. Oh

I did see those posts. D’uh on me.

3. Democratic Underground has been a mental health life saver,

most especially through the eight years of the Shrub and the four years of Pissolini. The moderators, web people, and members are all awesome!

Thanks to all and best wishes forever!

[blueinredohio]

16. Totally agree. Although I still can't rec.

Oh well, I have no doubt it will be fixed. Thanks to the admins.

[Beringia]

10. Thanks Admins

12. Kicked and recc'ed. My rec button works!

Seriously, my continued thanks and gratitude to EarlG and Elad for keeping this amazing place running.

[denvine]

13. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart!

[marieo1]

14. With appreciation

I thank everyone involved with DU and letting all of express our feelings and stay sane during DJT and the covid crisis.........It has been a few horrific years and you all helped us through it.

[EarlG]

15. Thanks all

The issue may not be completely resolved just yet, but it appears to be at least MOSTLY resolved. I'll post an update to the announcement when we're confident that everything is back to normal.

[BigmanPigman]

33. I am still having the same problem.

I can't rec or bookmark. It has been like this almost 24 hours. Thanks for continuing to work on it.

[EarlG]

37. How about now?

Things should be back to normal. If you're still experiencing the issue, try holding shift while refreshing the page (assuming you're on a desktop computer).

[BigmanPigman]

44. I just tried it again and still won't work...

both "rec" and "bookmark" features. 2 PM PST

[EarlG]

46. Just sent you a PM with a possible fix

Take a look and see if it works for you.

[Pepsidog]

17. I press "rec" on things I like. What actually is the purpose of the "rec" button?

And thank you admin, DU is my daily therapy. Best site on the internet

[abqtommy]

24. I think the REC serves two purposes. First, it means I like/agree with something

and whoever wrote the op can see that I support them. Second, it leaves my tracks here on DU when I don't feel like writing a reply. Kinda like saying Kilroy Was Here.

[Pepsidog]

30. Thank you for the response.

[abqtommy]

38. No problem. We're obviously polite people. And probably good-looking too!

[secondwind]

18. DU always feels like coming home.

I 💗 DU !!

[CaptainTruth]

19. Yes, thanks to the admins for keeping DU up & running!

You rock!

[Jerry2144]

21. Only complaint

My only complaint is that they still haven’t updated the Avatar images. Although they do have some hockey teams as possible avatars, they still don’t have the most important hockey team, the VGK. Why would they have the San Jose Sharts and not have the VGK since the team has been around for four seasons now. And they might as well add Seattle Kracken since they start next season

[bucolic_frolic]

22. It just keeps getting better

[gademocrat7]

25. Thank you!

Greatly appreciate your efforts.

[pandr32]

26. DU is my go to

[MontanaMama]

27. Rec button works.

Thank you, Admins, for your hard work in keeping us alive and kicking.

[TygrBright]

28. All that, and more. ::smooch:: n/t

[japple]

31. Yes!!! Many thanks for all you do to keep the DU engine running.

I would be lost without DU, esp. over the past 4 years.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Was able to use the "rec" on this thread

to the guys!

[Demsrule86]

34. Thank you Admins...I appreciate your service.

[left-of-center2012]

35. OK, but only if I get a lollipop for my post

bacon sriracha lollipops

[SergeStorms]

36. There was never a problem for me.

I never noticed anything at all. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that isn't usually so.

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. Appreciated right from the point this haven was just a concept.

It is spectacularly well-run, if you ask me.

[abqtommy]

40. I agree!

[calimary]

41. Thank you, Admins! Frankly, I don't know what I'd do without DU!

Indeed, what would I DU?

[Joinfortmill]

42. Thank you!!

[nolabear]

43. So what's Skinner up to these days? EarlG seems to be doing great.

And I know it’s a team effort but he’s the reason we’re here now, near as I can tell.

Btw that’s not anti-Skinner. He’s aces too!

[Fla Dem]

45. The DU Administrators have always had our back for the 18 years I've been a member of DU.

They're the best!!!

[Airotciv60]

47. Thank you DU

DU got me through the election process and all the frivolous attacks on our Democracy. I was having daily meltdowns at the time and DU kept me sane.

[Skittles]

48. it's why I keep donating

take a look at the Freak Republic site if you want to see of an example of a website that evolves as much as its members

[crickets]

49. Thank you, EarlG et al! 🥰

[sarchasm]

50. Thank you DU!

[kpete]
