Improved "latest releases"?
I try to follow all new releases, but it happens time and again that I miss entries... but why?? If I follow the latest releases e.g. once a week and look at all entries until I reach an entry I already know, should I not see all new releases?
The answer is NO! Because the latest releases section is sorted by release date and not by submit date. This is logical, in a way, but not the way I intuitively expected things to be, because this also means that new uploads appear somewhere inside the list and not on top of the list as I expected.
This way, I miss entries that are not uploaded shortly after their release.
A good example that many users missed is e.g. Rosone by Karoshier - have you seen it?
Rosone
It was upped much later than it was released.
For me, this is a major problem. But how to solve it?
The idea I have in mind is having an additional list that is...
a) sorted by submission date (so that old pages will always be stable)
b) has a date filter for the release date period. A good default could be "from release date" = today and "to release date" = today+2 years
It would also be good to have some kind of "delta report" where one could see all releases that where upped much later than they were released, so that one could track down which releases one has missed in the past.
Ooooops - sorry for posting this in the wrong subforum!! I am re-posting... can you delete this post?
