Why is it that every time I log into this site I have to reset my settings to Latest? People have already beaten this to death but I think it is useful to keep annoying problems on everyone's minds.(most posts have just discussed how it slows the hell out of use of this site)
Everyone I've ever seen talk about this subject uses Latest because it is by far the most useful. Trending is pretty useless from a conversation standpoint or even a how many people have liked and who has liked this thread standpoint. That stems from the fact that Liking something as the feature stands now is pretty useless and [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_I-dislike-the-quotLikequot-Feature/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60243411]needs to be changed[/url]. I understand that you want people to use your new features but "Trending" is just not a useful way to sort threads. I, and most people on this site, simply want to see which threads have been posted in most recently as quickly as possible.
So I think Latest should be set as the standard sort by on the site. Or an even better option would be to allow us to set what we want to be our starting sort by in our profiles(while you're at it allow us an auto sign in)
