24. You are certainly free to guess and speculate and assume anything you like

about what I think rather than just taking my words as written, whenever the impulse seizes you, but in this case you would be incorrect.

And as point of clarification the "DU" logo isn't at the top of the page but at the top of the screen, on my device/OS/browser anyway (and I assume many others though perhaps not all), which means it is never out of clicking range no matter how far I scroll, which is why I called it omnipresent and therefore superior in availability to prior version.

Highlight:

IMPORTANT: The Latest Discussions link at the top & bottom of every page does NOT go to the home page. There should be a link to the home page. [View all] highplainsdem Oct 2023 OP

The link to the Home Page is at the top of every page. Just click on "Democratic Underground". n/t TygrBright Oct 2023 #1

Every message board I've used, and I used a lot of them and was an admin with highplainsdem Oct 2023 #2

Every board I've used, and I've been a moderator on more than one, links the main name muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #30

And they use simple, unmistakable text links as well and don't rely on highplainsdem Oct 2023 #31

I'm not blaming DU's users; I'm just pointing out this is not IMPORTANT muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #33

It might not be important to YOU. It's extremely important to all the people highplainsdem Oct 2023 #36

Nah, they don't IMO. Happy Hoosier Oct 2023 #47

THIS !!!! DemocraticPatriot Oct 2023 #23

And btw, although having a banner or logo as a link to the home page is highplainsdem Oct 2023 #3

I didn't know we had a Home Page anymore. I thought the big Democratic Underground was just patricia92243 Oct 2023 #4

DU4 has been causing way too much confusion for users, and it is NOT the fault highplainsdem Oct 2023 #7

This message was self-deleted by its author Celerity Oct 2023 #9

Yes, I had to ask in a number of threads Tumbulu Oct 2023 #21

All was revealed in EarlG's posts to all of us prior to the move to DU4. sinkingfeeling Oct 2023 #49

Like the big DU in the middle of the top of every page? RockRaven Oct 2023 #5

That is NOT an adequate replacement for the standard text links. highplainsdem Oct 2023 #6

It says "DU" and goes to democraticunderground dot com slash index RockRaven Oct 2023 #8

If it were adequate, the earlier versions of DU would not have highplainsdem Oct 2023 #10

Well, "DU" *is* text, & the link is MORE omnipresent as a upper screen banner RockRaven Oct 2023 #19

So I guess you think all the earlier versions of DU were dumb compared to highplainsdem Oct 2023 #20

You are certainly free to guess and speculate and assume anything you like RockRaven Oct 2023 #24

Okay. Point taken about that banner at the top being omnipresent. But it still highplainsdem Oct 2023 #27

Mine does not stay at top or bottom. I am on PC. n/t patricia92243 Oct 2023 #29

In my experience, it's pretty standard for the name banner of a forum, blog etc. Emrys Oct 2023 #11

Sigh. One more time. It's standard to have text links to the home highplainsdem Oct 2023 #13

Please don't sigh at me. Emrys Oct 2023 #15

See my reply 16. Those DU Home links, in the lines of links at the top highplainsdem Oct 2023 #18

OK, my memory isn't failing me Emrys Oct 2023 #14

Yes, it is a hyperlink. I just clicked that DU Home link at both the highplainsdem Oct 2023 #16

Not on my system it isn't! Emrys Oct 2023 #17

Emrys, you are mistakenly clicking the link for the page I said the DU Home highplainsdem Oct 2023 #22

Again, go to this page, the first page of GD that moment earlier this month: highplainsdem Oct 2023 #25

Did you try the links on the archived GD page, instead on clicking on highplainsdem Oct 2023 #32

No, I've been attending to a post of mine on Editorials & Other Articles, Emrys Oct 2023 #35

I knew the logo was a link. But not having the text links to the home page highplainsdem Oct 2023 #37

I guess it depends on how people enter the forum each time. Emrys Oct 2023 #38

Well, if you can find a few seconds to click on those text links you said weren't links, highplainsdem Oct 2023 #40

Nope. Paid work calls. n/t Emrys Oct 2023 #41

And I have company coming, and wish there weren't all these problems with DU4 highplainsdem Oct 2023 #44

And btw, I'm posting in GD because the people having trouble getting to highplainsdem Oct 2023 #39

Posting on Community Help might get you more recs than 3. Emrys Oct 2023 #43

So I'll post a link to it in Community Help later, if he misses it here. highplainsdem Oct 2023 #45

I cited recs as a measure of interest and approval, perhaps even visibility, not any measure of kudos. Emrys Oct 2023 #46

So you are demanding several links to that new home page, which you hate? DemocraticPatriot Oct 2023 #26

No. I am saying the two standard text links to the Home page used highplainsdem Oct 2023 #28

Man I wish I had this much time in my life. edisdead Oct 2023 #34

The only reason this thread is as long as it is now is that some people highplainsdem Oct 2023 #42

See post #49. Apparently lots of users failed to read the DU4 information provided by EarlG. sinkingfeeling Oct 2023 #50
