Hi all you smart DU computer folk [View all]

Why, when I do a post, is there a button that automatically is checked and says, "Add to Journal" and yet to the right of that, it says "always uncheck"? I'm curious why this is. I NEVER uncheck that button. Am I some type of a rebel and just don't know it? If somebody can illuminate me on this quandary, I will be somewhat satisfied. 🤔

PS.- Technical advice needs to be on a sub-6th grade level. Thanks 🙏
