Expect high traffic on DU this Tuesday, March 4. Make sure you don't get blocked out! 

There is a good chance that Tuesday, March 4, will be our busiest day of this primary season. If so, it is likely that we will have to turn off some website features in order to make sure that our site can handle the large spike in traffic. We are committed to doing whatever we can to avoid slow performance or overly long response times, while making the site available to as many visitors as possible.

If the spike in traffic is much larger than we expect, it is possible (but unlikely) that we may have to take drastic measures to keep our site online. As a very last resort, we may be forced to block access so unregistered visitors cannot read Democratic Underground. If you are registered and logged in to Democratic Underground, you will still be able to read and post.

To guarantee that you will be able to access DU on Tuesday, please make sure you know your username and password. And to make sure you always have access to your account, remember to keep your user information up-to-date.

IF YOU ARE UNREGISTERED

If you do not have a DU account, you can register here.

IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED MEMBER

Remember your USERNAME.

Remember how your username is spelled. Does your username have any spaces, hyphens, underscores, or periods?

Make sure your EMAIL ADDRESS is up-to-date.

If your email address has changed, please update it here.

Remember your PASSWORD.

If you do not know your DU Password, please change it here.

And if you think you might not remember your username or password, please write them down somewhere so you won't forget. And if you ever need to change your user information, just click the "Options" icon at the top of any page.

Thank you!

Skinner
DU Admin

10. "Remember how your username is spelled"

I'm surprised more DUers don't have trouble with that, actually.

12. People have a real problem remembering spaces, underscores, and hyphens.

That is so funny!

I've never been on a message board that had so many problems.  90% of their users are tombstones, how could they generate that much traffic?

I have to agree; that gave me my laugh for the day. I am really in awe of the stupidity of DU and their numbnuts. I don't go there cause I do not want it to infect me.

I don't go there for much the same reason.
