1. Welcome to DU, TimeToEvolve!

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.

3. If they go to "My Profile" and scroll down to "Signature Line (edit)"....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/no-javascript-version.shtml

And then just pop a URL up in there!

7. You can't directly copy and paste an anchor that requires javascript to work.

8. Thanks, I hate how that doesn't work.

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

2. Hi TimeToEvolve! Welcome to DU!

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!

6. Normally you can just put the web address for an image in your signature...

... (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...

after which the logo for Skins's island 

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).

Why do they always do this?  Noob DUmmie asks some dumb questions, and you get 25 other DUmmies giving him the exact same answer.  They never read what's been posted first.

That's how so many DUmmies have been able to pile up 50/100k posts like it is some badge of honor.

Also, because of their stupid, stupid, inane programming language or whatever it is called.  Yet the garden-variety DUmmy thinks the DU formatting software is just incredible.  :whatever:

Actually, I think it's more reminiscent of a bunch of cannibals looking really friendly when approaching a newcomer on the beach, so as to size him up for what sort of dinner he'll make.

I was wondering . . . Frank, why are you blotting out one primitive's name?  I thought you might have missed one post, but it seems to be the same primitive, judging from the number of posts.

It's my way of indicating Great Displeasure with that primitive, for being so stupidly silly.

The quote's important, but I don't want to give the stupidly silly primitive any notoriety.

I did it years ago, when we were at our old home--it's been so long ago that I now disremember who the primitive was, but he died anyway, so it doesn't matter.

And then sometime early on here on conservativecave, I blanked out the name of the primitive woman bothered by cold weather, the "TroubleInWinter" primitive, because she was being stupidly silly.  But then she unexpectedly died, and I didn't have to worry about it any more.

In the Top DUmmies of 2012, I announced during an awardment to the MiddleFingerMom primitive that I was doing the same thing to him--omitting to copy-and-paste his screen-name--because I thought he was stupidly silly, and didn't want to give him any fame.

Well, the MiddleFingerMom primitive died recently, and I figured that was the last of the stupidly silly primitives.

I was wrong.

Frank...why are you not posting NYC SKP's user name?  It's eliminated in three posts?

I'm going to admit something that I believe will be a surprise to exactly no one.

I'm a cannibal

Here is a couple of things I do.

I read almost all the threads posted here.

I don't make a post unless I think I have something to offer but I will admit that sometimes I goof around.

I think that newbies that avoid conversation, even after being engaged should be judged with a jaundiced eye.

I think that the best way to get the jist of a person is to keep them beating their gums together, they always summon their own doom.

Yeah, Im a cannibal.

Do you know what the funny thing is...I agree with you folkes so much that I don't always post much, not much need to.

But if a troll gets wound  up, yeah  I'll be on that. Behind it with a machete.I don't figure it's necessary to call it names or cuss at it. I figure that if you just keep it talking it will show you its short ribs soon enough and that's where the knife goes in.

This leads me to one conclusion: franskolich is Death.  If franksolich blanks out a DUmpmonkey's name, that DUmpmonkey's days are numbered.

Really, though, I have nothing to do with it.

It just happens; bad things happen to primitives who don't like franksolich.

<<<a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can ever hope to meet; no need to dislike.

I think it's just coincidence.

Since I'm a little slow, this is an opportune time to ask a question. Is anyone using Javascript after we were told to delete it several months back because of some security issues?

Got no clue what your ***** is sore for, so I gave you a BitchslapBitchslap as a emotional bandaid.

I am busy. My girlfriend just broke up with me after a year and a half. Wasn't broadsided like last time. Could see it coming, but not happy about it.

Shit happens. What was ****ed up was listening to the exact same words coming out of her mouth as those from my cheating pos ex-wife when she's took off. So, you gotta ask who the idiot is? The guy getting into a relationship that repeats or someone who doesn't try to find love and happiness.
