80. The only other item that would be marvelous would be to have

Dec 2011

on the Home Page or as top buttons, a fast click to the "most discussed" and the "most Recommended". Its hard to find those category buttons. I have to click around several times to find the most Rec'd or look in on a "hot topic". Normally, the important items of the day in the news or what's on the radar are on the most rec'd page or are hotly discussed topics. It always takes me a few clicks to find those buttons so I can check it out now. I still don't know which forums allow for the quick buttons for most rec'd. Anyone else miss that> I wish they were at the top like Home, Latest Threads, Forums... etc.

I'm assuming things will get tweaked in time to make DU3 more user friendly. If you have never been on DU at all, then it would be confusing to know where to go and what are helpful items that keeps the community thriving and interactive... I would say that the old "Greatest Page", now "Most Rec'd" is one of the best items about DU, especially, if someone is new to DU. What is rec'd and most discussed is a good introduction to people and to some of the best written editorials by members or what makes people tick or becomes a hot button issue on DU.

Also, I am looking forward to everyone figuring out how to get into their profile page and setting up their avatars and re-setting their signature quotes... Those are as unique as the community in general.
