my white space ain't that big. do you mean the last three downloaded? I guess they could time stamp all downloads in all of the galleries to do that for each.

just curious, what makes this appealing?

Sounds like a helluva good idea to me, Eve.  

But what do I know?

Recent uploads, gmc2, not downloads. Personally, I'd like to see what's new by gallery, and at a glance, without having to click through several pages to do so. DX alone has four different galleries, and I check almost everyday, sometimes the images there take a while to load. It's not of major importance, but I thought it'd be neat and a time-saver.

That sounds like a reasonable proposition if it's not too much work.
