It hasn't changed all day. Please Skinner, put it back like it was. Thanks.

1. We need to have the most recent at the top in the middle row like it was before or else it doesn't

2. i used to live there. now it's where threads go to die...
i DO like the ranking system, but the greatest page needs to be retooled so it can be more dynamic.

5. The GP used to be my favourite feature on DU ...
... now it is, IMHO, utterly useless. I don't even bother checking it any more.

6. I always used Latest Page anyway
I never gave a crap what other people thought was the Greatest because it usually isn't. Nothing of import that I've ever posted made it to the Greatest, stupid-ass rants did. :crazy: Use Latest, you'll learn more.

24. Why are you on my ass. I use the Lastest everyday. And the Greatest.
It's useless now. :shrug:

25. I'm not, just made a separate recommendation
Of my observation of how ungreat the Greatest can be. You could have chosen to respond to me by saying you use both, but got snippy instead. Don't be surprised when you get it in return.

8. Eh, it was getting a little crowded on GP
I think this will work out eventually. It's like getting a radical haircut - takes a while to get used to.

20. It's just different and it will take a little while to get used to it.
Compare it to getting a new cell phone. All of a sudden, you miss the features of your old one, because you were so used to it. It takes a while to appreciate the new features.
