The Greatest Page is back [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

When we we made the switch to DU3, we incorporated the list of Greatest threads into the Latest page. After living with it for a while we've decided that the Greatest threads should have their own page just as they did on DU2.

The new Greatest page is now no longer available as a button on the Latest page -- instead it has its own tab among the navigation tabs at the top of the page. The Greatest page should look very familiar to those of you who used it frequently on DU2.

Here's a direct link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=greatest_threads

Note that the old "Top Tens" lists are not included -- they are now mostly irrelevant since the Unrecommend function no longer exists.

Also note that there is a mobile version of the Greatest page for those of you browsing DU on mobile devices.

Thanks for your patience while we continue to work on and improve our new DU software.

EarlG, on behalf of the DU Admins
