    I dunno if it's a glitch or a mod that got PO'ed but for some reason I can't upload a save more than once. Which kinda makes it impossible to get veiws :( (it wont show up in recent except for the first time you save it.) I'd appreciate the help if anyone can tell me whats going on or how to fix it... thx!

    It is an "improvement" by the mods so that people can't span the by date section by republishing

    You sir, are an attention whore.

    Why be a bitch?

    On topic:

    As @circovik said, its an improvement to the saves, stopping people like you spamming to get votes and views.

    Bumping to the recents has been disabled, yes. I can see why, it's unreasonable to bump your save every once in a while and get more views. With enough users doing that, the "newest" page would be filled with repetitive saves and all the "new" saves would instantly go to page 2 or 3, out of sight.

    Even when I made an very good save I needed to bump it about 10 times to get it fp. To many noobs are pushing good saves from the by date list.

    That's what I was most worried about when it was changed. It's a good change, but it could make the front page worse if that is happening. i'm not sure if it will be a problem, there are still good things on the front page but the 5 saves after the front page (the 5 saves that aren't shown on the front page but are in the list of the top 20 front page saves) are usually always bad.

    Since everyone has this problem now, it might not be a problem. I sometimes go through every save in tpt, until I see saves i've already seen, so now it's possible to go through the entire recent saves list and see everything. There are probably less noobs resaving saves to go back to the recents list too.

    Why not to announce it here, on forums? You will have more chances to get good votes, also a mod can like and promote your save to FP if it's "a piece of gold buried in tons of shit" :-P

    Ok thanks for all the replies!
    Though guys... Be a little more chill... Especially you plead-for-destruction @plead-for-destruction (View Post)

    I understand that 'bumping' a save repeatedly for votes can be pretty damn attention whoreyyy and annoying. But at the same time you must realize... It's nessicary to 'bump' a save atleast a few times to get FP, (no matter how awesome the save may be).

    I have to say though that I have never found a problem with the old system. I flip back through pages and pages of the recent untill i find good stuff. Never really was bothered by noobs spamming...
    However as long as people dont start spamming in other ways, I think this change will work out. The most recent section is alot more condensed now. And truly 'New'. Idk. We will see what happens.

    F opinions. My question is answered. THx. Ill shut up. Is there a discussion thread we can all rant on?
