Better FP

    On the front page, it should show the most recently created saves, so more saves will be viewed/voted for, and the FP will be more fair.

    Currently, it's mostly luck: a few people happen to be looking at the [By Date] list, and like your save. Once it's on the front page, it stays there even if it is not good, because so many people see it.

    I agree. And then I post a couple saves and no one but me has ever seen them. What's up with the art saves that people get on FP????? I actually want good stuff there so I report them but I feel like they wouldn't get there if it was by date.

    there was a time when it was this way I think. But when it was this way, people complained about all of the crappy saves.

    How about defaulting the search bar to 'By Date?'

    An interesting way to solve this would be to make the "by date" button more obvious....or to remind people to check the "By date" page.

    The current FP algorithm is pretty stable. Maybe do some A/B testing?
