11. No, I didn't know that. As I said, I rarely look at Latest. I did just now, and I didn't see LBN stories with the newest

first, - at least not till I scrolled down and finally found them under Spotlight Forum: Foreign Affairs and Welcome to DU! listing newcomers.

The list of LBN latest is effectively buried there. And they're missing the very important snippets that were on the home page.

They worked much better where they were on the DU3 home page. Really contributed more to the page and site that way.

And where they're now sort of buried on the Latest page, they're also two clicks from DU's home page, the one I land on when I visit DU, since I don't see any links for Latest on the home page and there's none on the navigation bar when you're on that page, either. LBN itself is only one click from the home page, and I can click Start Time there to get the stories by the newest first, but the snippets that helped so much are still missing.

So to get the closest approximation I can to what I had earlier and liked I have to scroll down the home page to the abbreviated list of 10 latest LBN stories and snippets, then go to LBN and click Start Time and skim down past those first ten to get to simple headlines of the other recent stories, with no snippets, and then start reading in more depth...and hope I don't miss something I would have been interested in because there wasn't even a snippet there. When I checked the home page regularly for the LBN list there, the DU3 list, I always saw at least snippets of almost every single news story posted in LBN.
