Ken,
thank you very much for Fixing this question for all of us. It is indeed needed to do all, what keeps this site going, and of course it is a great Thing, that this site here is for free, despite some drawbacks.
So, I think if there is still a Problem with linking and the top three, which seems to give alot of grief to People, than the only other Option is, to replace that instead with random photos from last 24 hours. An Option I could live with, too.
Greetings,
Cornelia
