The Powder Toy

By Date appears by default instead of FP

    This will give newer creations more of a chance to get noticed easier. Since By Date appears by default, people can see something new that may be interesting instead of just searching through the front page.

    but you mean by the FP you mean the FP when you search correct? becuase people do earn the actual FP and dont stay there forever like those with votes

    Front Page as in top in votes. The first thing that pops up when going to view other people's simulations. I thought this would be great to give more newer players more of a chance to get noticed.

    yeah that sounds great!

    Nope. Front page has a purpose. Maybe have By Date as pages two / three / four with a better visual distinguishment (such as the front page having a brighter background and maybe a title)

    If you wanted to see the FP, then just go to Front Page.

     

    But at least people will notice new creations.

    box did you read the above? no offence but we just covered that, saying the the actual Front page should still be there, because they are there for a short period of time, but when you enter tags or search, that it defaults to BY DATE

    This literally means the first page you're going to hit, not pages 2 onward.

    OK, good idea, but if things are by date, how are you going to find saves like
    2198View Save 2198
    4415View Save 4415
    151327View Save 151327
    and other very good, not republished older saves? What is going to happen if you search city ot find it? 403 pages to find

    ?

    sorry bout that, my brain likes to twist peoples words, im my opinion when you go to Find & Open Simulation that there should be the front page, but when you put in a tag or search something, that it should default to BY DATE

     

    thats my version of this idea

    There will still be the button there, but it will be defaulted to by date
