for posting this, very useful. I have been transitioning away from the GOS for some time, old habits a hard to break but the time has come to break up.

It's lovely to see this growing, and see familiar folks, Sara R, what a treat.

Is it okay if I make a suggestion? I would love it if each diary listed (like on the home page or the Community page) had a short excerpt, maybe the first couple of lines from the diary, so I could get a sense of what it's about. Titles are often cryptic, which is okay, even good, author's prerogative, but it would be cool to get a peek so you know what the topic is. Maybe it's just me, little bit of short term memory probs, sometimes I can't remember if I've read something or not, LOL!

Thank you so much for being here.

I've just arrived with the exile and I really like the site. I finally tuned into the Evening Blues yesterday and appreciate all the effort that goes into that.

Looking forward to good conversations and maybe some real progress as well. I appreciate the new home.

A quick question, how do you add multiple tags in a dairy? Use enter key or commas or what?

Thanks again!

Daily kos is officially DOA. Glad to have found a new home away from the crazyscreaming king markos and his bitter queen. We need to discuss gotv. The Clintons are disgusting and must be defeated.

I'm new here, how do we know if someone responds to a comment?

Account' (upper right-hand of page); then, click on 'My Comments'; then, click on the hyperlinks to your respective comments--it will take you to the original post, where you can see any replies!

I'm glad to see there are a lot of people here who were there a long time ago, 4 digit user ids long ago, who are frustrated enough to leave. But I'm even more glad someone started an alternative!

Imagine: a progressive web site where I can say "If Bernie isn't the nominee, I'm registering Green and Voting for Jill Stein" without getting banned. (and now a sense of trepidation comes over me)

I'm here. I'm still there, too, but vewy vewy quiet. About all I do there now is post an occasional (for me) comment, post an occasional community fundraisers diary, and do my shifts when I can. This week I've been way too sick to do them, alas. Anyway, here I am and happy to see so many names I recognize. Obviously I use the same name here as there.

For the most part, I like the UI. I haven't found a lot to mislike, just a few things missing as shown in others' comments above. Washington state has done our duty by Bernie; now it's back to phone banking and on to the LD caucus as delegates.

Great to see you here, hope we see more of you in the future!~

I just couldn't take it any more....for me the final straw was the "upgrade" that totally screwed up the site but hey....everyone has their limits.......

Clinton will not get my vote....I actually reregistered to vote for Bernie here in the Baja but...If clinton does take it, I'm a Gary Johnson voter.....I've always been an unaffiliated left libertarian who voted Democrat.....This time I will not support any of the repubs obviously but also will not vote clinton just because she's a dem or a woman....I'd love to vote for a woman for President, but it needs to be someone I feel is good for the country.....

I do not see that with her......

Still a major RKBA supporter, still support the entire Constitution, still in Baja Arizona and still love it....Truly hope this place is more realistic as to what can be accomplished and what can not in the political climate we inhabit.

If I'm going to get the GOS name calling and such I'd prefer to get it out of the way so I can move on....I won't deal with authoritarians any more...and the clinton clan personify authoritarianism almost as much as the cruzers do....sorry if this comes off as defensive but I've been insulted too many times by my supposed fellow leftists to be amused by it any more....

To Quote another Leftist

“That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”
George Orwell

That's for sure.....

(Hillary obsessed posters drove off their Bernie supporting non neoliberal members in order to cope with cognitive dissonance unfortunately)

Resulting in my current membership as a Jackpine Radical, I am unfamiliar with how one formats a picture in one's signature line here, My preferred habit is to leave the avatar blank as few sites allow my avatar to remain animated and so prefer instead to use the sig line for a similar purpose.

On DU I was able to leave blank the avatar and use my prefered one (for well over 15 years now) in the signature portion instead.
On JPR I was able to achieve the latter, but blank avatars are automatically filled by a comical monster and no option is available to leave it blank, to see what I would like to reproduce simply view a typical post of mine and note the bottom of the post.

If this is possible please advise as to how, I did look in the FAQ section first and can not find the proper technical section to ask this question so please forgive my asking here.
