2. I want to learn the best place to post OPs

Sat Feb 21, 2026, 08:27 PM

Saturday

I've only posted 4, but the first 2 showed up under "most rec'd" under the "Greatest Discussion" when they got a lot of recs. The last two haven't and I don't know why. I have a current OP that has 72 recs but isn't showing up there. I posted it under General Discussions. Should I have posted it under Greatest Discussions? I didn't want to assume my OP belonged there unless the response landed it there.

I tend to have a lot of questions just about the tech side of DU and I learn by trial and error. i imagined there would be some instructions somewhere so people looking for more exciting topics wouldn't have to slog through this.

But I appreciate your help.
