General Discussion unshitter userscript--automatically sort by latest posts

Because garry thought it was a [b]WONDERFUL IDEA TO MAKE GENERAL DISCUSSION SORT BY SOME RANDOM-ASS THING INSTEAD OF THE LATEST POSTS[/b]
This script is VERY simple. All it does is change any link that points to General Discussion into a link that automatically sorts by latest posts.
The script is here: [url]http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/174275[/url]
To install it, you need either GreaseMonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome.
I love you.
EDIT: Oh, excuse me then.
Thank you.
Excellent, haven't been using GD much recently because of this shite.
This is a good thing.
I wish garry would make it an option on how you'd like GD threads displayed.
There's many active threads which get buried under terrible newer threads.

The thing is Garry killed GD by moving all chat threads to it, which resulted into GD being chat thread central and without any unique threads. Garry tried fixing it by making thread sorting sort newer threads first, which is IMO a poor attempt to fix this. This can all be solved by throwing the chat threads somewhere else (a subforum?) and putting thread sorting back to normal.

You don't need tampermonkey to use this on chrome. It'll ask if you want to install it then click continue. It will download it but not install it. Go into where you downloaded it then drag it into the Extensions page. There, installed.

Did that, still doesn't work.

You can just press the "last post by" in the top right corner twice

IIRC from the good ol' AUATF days, GD wasn't booming and was dying, since GD is the oldest forum on FP, Garry didn't want to get rid of it so he closed the chat forum down and moved everything there, but you know GD was still dying and people were camping in the chat threads so that's when he fucked with the sorting
Honestly I think there should be encouragement to make better threads here ++ add back the featured list which was really good for finding good reads, make it something like Mods Pick or something I think that'd work

We need something like respected user again, something that can't just be bought, and won't really give you any benefits except marking you as a quality poster. Maybe then we could get some more good threads.

Respected user did nothing, and it's practically useless nowadays because you can buy Gold Member, that was really the only point of RU
I haven't had that problem in weeks. I thought he fixed it ages ago?
Useful, i've been running this script for ages ever since it first floated around fp but it seems like the large majority didn't see it when it first was around. I was getting tired of people asking the same question over and over on why GD is weird.
