    I found myself getting annoyed by the fact that i couldn't find a frontpage creation anymore. (And i hope others do so, too. It makes this idea more effective)

    Right now, there is an option to have it set to date, but that counts for ALL creations. So here's my suggestion: A storage box, or a list for front pages only in creaton-date order.

     

    If there is a way to find them back without using the search bar, (There probably is) please inform me.

    The what now? That just felt messy. Anyway, so you want a way to set it to the most recent frontpage creations?

    sorry for the poor structure, i'm dutch.

    what i'm trying to suggest is a way to find back saves/creations, that were recently on the frontpage.

    unless you know it's name, or the creator, there is no way to find them back.

    This means, is give "good" saves a special front page'd / featured ranking and keep them in a special listing away from the crap?
    Kind of drives the incentive for "I have x front page saves" - "Haha noob, I have twice that"...

    they way you make you say it, makes me look mean. but yeah, that's bassically what i suggested.

    but i mean. have you never played a save that was on the front page, it suddenly dissapeared to make place for another one, and you were like: "@*&% what was the name again, or the creator? how do i play that save again"

    this, for me was the best option, because i see no other way. 

     

    besides, most of us play the frontpage saves more than then those from the "by date" list. which also makes me sound mean.

    Yes, that's what the point of the front page is, to promote content. Your idea is good but it gives a bit of a strong meaning to front paged saves. Also, I didn't think you sounded mean :)

    I seriously think there should be a way to view a persons save profile in the game and have it show their saves from most votes to least votes. I think there should also be a part of the front page that is dedicated to a persons profile. There are a lot of people in TPT that have numerous awesome saves out there that people would love to see. Perhaps another thing to do is save a persons profile as a favorite. and be able to get updated when they have made a new save.

    yeah, it would be very nice to be able to see your whole save view history too. And maybe comment history, I can see some comment history because i'm a moderator, and I use it all the time to find which saves I commented on so I can respond.

    And an in game profile would be nice, things like this I wanted to add to my mod but never did. I can easily get information from here and parse it and display it somehow.

    And to show saves from most to least votes just do user:randalserrano and change by votes/by date

    For the notification on new saves from a user, I agree with that too. some small amount of work was tried in doing that for a second, but it was never finished.
