I'm New Here

Hi fellow Democrats. I was wondering about how this forum is formatted. Is there a more user friendly version. Something that goes along the lines of other forums with like features on people's posts and maybe easier to read print. I just about have to put my phone on my nose to read the text here. Other than that this is a great forum. Doesn't seem to have been taken over by rightwingnuts like other liberal forums.

I have no trouble with text size, and there is literally a like button at the bottom of the OP.

If you become a Star Member (whatever you can afford) then the ads go away and you might find it easier to navigate the site.

And the previous poster is right, we boot the right wing lunatics who occasionally try to infiltrate the group.

You will find friends, humor, insight, kindness, and a community.

I prefer to go on DU with my computer. We don't tolerate wing nuts here, they get the boot as soon as they are spotted,lol.

Enjoy!

A pop-up will appear and you can tap the big A to increase the size making the page/site easier to read on your phone. I don't know if Android phones have a similar feature but I suspect they do even if it is in a different area.

Liberalforum.org used to be a good site years ago, but has pretty much turned into a pig sty. Most of the good members have left with it being a mostly Trump loving RWnut haven now ironically.

Thanks for the great replies. Sadly being white middle-class in rural upstate NY I feel like I'm in the minority often when it comes to political views. I'm overjoyed to hear RWnuts are quickly removed from this forum, how refreshing. Looking forward to coming here often
