Error: You've already recommended that thread.

[Theres-a]

I seldom start threads,but I am asking my fellow DU'ers to please remember to recommend threads. Lately, I don't have much time at the DU,and rely on it for news,so I go straight to the Greatest page.

I wonder if I am the only one? My bookmark is set to Breaking News,but I usually go right to Greatest from there. If it weren't for DU,I would be lost,so thanks for all you guys do to keep me sane.

Thanks for your consideration.

Happy Friday news dump,everyone!:party:

1. I know that a lot of people do that.

So I always try to recommend any threads I feel
might be interesting or useful.

And I'll add that it's important to REPLY to those threads
as well, so people reading the forums don't miss them.
I'm sure lots of good threads have died because they
dropped off the first page with 4 recs and no kicks.

2. Thanks

Alot of times,I don't reply,because it's just "me too". Often I don't have much to add to the conversation,so I just read and rec,but I'll kick a little more,it seems it's gotten very busy around here lately.

15. I also read and recommend without adding a post.

Re: the thread title---there are times when I wish I could rec more than once!

Like this thread which needs attention from everyone:

Stars & Stripes: LESS THAN HALF OF MILITARY VOTES OVERSEAS COUNTED IN '06
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1928537&mesg_id=1928537

This needs to be emailed far and wide!

3. I wish that a recommend would kick the thread without

having to actually post.

So many times I really have nothing to say. :shrug:

[Richard Steele]

4. Yeah, sometimes I wonder how many of my total posts have just been "K&R".

If you include all the times I just cut-n-paste
my favorite line from the OP and add "recommended",
it's gotta be in the thousands by now!

[Theres-a]

5. Me, too

Kicking.:7

[Lochloosa]

12. Do what I do...

:toast:

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

13. I wanted to add that sometimes I recommend not because

the OP was so great, but because the discussion following is very interesting with lots of good info.

6. One kick before work. nt

[DeepModem Mom]

7. Indeed! And also, it only takes a few seconds to both KICK and recommend...

and that assures that the thread you thought worthy will be seen by more eyes.

[Kurovski]

8. There's no shame in merely giving a worthy thread a "K&R".

If a thread isn't too active, but really excellent, it's a good idea.

10. k & r

:D

[babylonsister]

9. K&R!

:D

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I've gotten so I often recommend more than I post because there is so much to keep up on these days.

BTW, K&R...:-)

[liberalla]

14. I recommend more than I post too.

:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

16. And I can't tell you how many times I forget and get that message...

:rofl:

17. Saturday Morning KICK. nm
