How long were you here before you discovered DU has a

[JimmyJazz]

question icon? Not a poll icon, but a question icon for when you ask a general question.

[RetroLounge]

1. DU has a Question Icon?

:wtf:

RL

[miss_kitty]

2. I saw it, but i forget to use it

I thought this was gonna be a poll for: Would you rather your favourite web site's initials were DU, so the right wing fuckwads that hate you so much will refer to you as Dummies, Dumpers and other *extremely* hilarious, clever and well-thought out dehumanising names like that; OR would you rather your favourite site's initials be CU so the leftwing people that find your opinions vile, fucked up and poorly reasoned-a product of corporate and MSM manipulation-studiously avoid the obvious ending to those initials-at least on the board?

I CAnt decide!:P

:evilgrin:

3. What's a question icon?

?

[miss_kitty]

10. in 'posts' at the top of the page

[Theres-a]

4. I'm off topic here,but you always have the answers to questions

How does a person get on the list of milestones?I've got 400 posts,but I've never been on the list.Am I on some sort of ignore?

[JimmyJazz]

6. are you sure you've been missed? NY99 does that all on her

own. It's quite a daunting task, I'm sure. I'm sorry you've been missed - she's usually very good with her lists. I'm sure she won't miss your 500th post!

But again, it's all volunteer, so please don't be too hard on her. Plus, you can send her a pm, if you'd like. I don't think she'd mind. :hi:

[Theres-a]

8. Wow!She does all that on her own!

Actually,I thought maybe I was supposed to sign up somewhere or something.Thanks for the info,as always.:hi:

[miss_kitty]

9. sometimes a self-congratulary thread will help!

:hi:

[SamanthaJones]

5. Ooh, I feel special

I noticed it right away! :7

[fujiyama]

7. Soon after joining

but I don't bother using it. I don't see the point....and I forget.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. I remember BEFORE they had the question icon...

It was on the old DU, pre July 6, 2003.

[Bossy Monkey]

17. I had to go back and check

so here's a link for anybody who might be curious what DU1 looked like: http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID69&mm=13440&archive=yes

Obviously you don't need it, but some folks might wanna see. It just links to the next to the last Lounge page before the changeover.

[RagingInMiami]

12. I still don't see it

[miss_kitty]

13. it's in this icon:

One of the choices for a post

[JimmyJazz]

The question icon:

[RagingInMiami]

19. Has that always been like that?

I never noticed it before

[miss_kitty]

21. like what?

[RagingInMiami]

23. that icon

I never noticed it before

[miss_kitty]

24. which icon?

icon # one:
?
or icon # two:
?

[RagingInMiami]

25. yes, the question icon

isn't that what this thread is about?

[miss_kitty]

26. yes.

it's been there.

how's the scruffy one?

[RagingInMiami]

27. He's very happy in his new home - a couple of recent pics

[miss_kitty]

28. he is a little killer!

I don't have fresh pix of Stella, but I'll get some soon. She is pretty much a laugh riot.

[RagingInMiami]

29. Post them as you soon as you get them

How much does she weigh?

[miss_kitty]

30. she's 10 pounds

but she pulls me around like a pony. I have to keep her on a short leash. I'm thinking more and more she's a lotta chihuahua too...

[RagingInMiami]

31. Scruffy is 14 pounds, up from 11 when I found him

And he also pulls me like a pony when I walk him. He gets in these moments when he absolutely has to stop and smell something in the grass. And he won't budge. It becomes a tug-of-war. He just plants himself there, smelling whatever it is he's smelling.

[miss_kitty]

32. Same here. And Stella takes her stuff around my apartment

and puts it places. She has her rawhide bone stashes and her toy spots. She is into counting coup, and when I am chasing her around the place, if she can grab up a sock of mine, turn around as she's running away from me to see me chasing her, she is one happy girl.

If she's really jacked up about stuff, I find a rawhide bone chewing episode absorbs a lot of that energy.

[Blue-Jay]

14. ummm. I just noticed it.

And right after I posted a question. Go figure.

[miss_kitty]

15. you'll forget about it the next time you post a question

if you're normal

[last_texas_dem]

16. 3-1/2 years and 2,000+ posts

Just noticed it for the first time two days ago, actually... :-)

[Wapsie B]

18. I noticed it

because many of my posts are questions to others. I don't stay on top of things enough to have a breaking news story and vanity posts aren't quite my thing. :)

[SOteric]

20. They didn't have it when I first got here.

It came with the big switchover.

[KG]

22. i'm still looking for the john.

[miss_kitty]

33. it's down the hall, take the first right. walk down THAT hall past 2 more

hallways, then at the third hallway take a left. Walk down that hallway until you come to another hall. Go right there, past the kitchen and up the little flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs take a left. It's the third door on the right. I think.
