Administrative Hot List Question

Noobz347 · Jun 23, 2023

Question:

Does anybody ever click on the [Hot] button?

85GTStangGuy · Jun 23, 2023

No, never have.... til now.

What is it? Doesn't appear to be newest postings, or most replies. What, exactly, makes a thread "hot"?

Noobz347 · Jun 23, 2023

It is a curated list of threads from any forum. Threads are suggested to be put on the list by a number of criteria and must then be approved or not by whoever curates the list. What's in there now are those things that the plug-in suggested and that I or karthief have approved.

Curators can also [add] any thread to the list. They don't have to be selected by criteria first.

I'm in test mode and trying to determine if it's of any use to us. The idea is that I turn the curation of the list over to [Active Member] to decide.

So, naturally, I want to know if anybody even looks at the thing.

I've kinda piddled around with it and even did a couple searches including Google and it's only showed up a couple times.
I think it is of little use but keep in mind I'm a little impaired, I find the Similar Threads at the bottom of thread pages is far more useful for posted issues.

This thread, for instance, just popped up for curation and I added it. So now it will ride down that list until another curator either bumps it or removes it.

I'm also considering a couple of other things:

Remove the preselection process and set it up for curation only (meaning the only threads that make it are ones that the authorized userbase selected) or remove it altogether.

As folks are looking at this thing you should also consider how such a list [might] help new members. Particularly, those where the forum environment might be new to them.

The other thought that comes to mind is that if nothing else, it would be a growing list that experienced forum members have selected to add to a "quick reference" list of sorts. Bolt thread indexes, Useful Technical Threads, resources, etc...

I've only inadvertantly hit it while I'm on my phone. If I'm on my laptop or another PC, I never pay attention to it. Probably because I only frequent a few different areas of the forums.

You're not supposed to be drinking on the job - just saying OSHA frowns on that kind of thing.

Whoa.... is this something new? Nobody told me. I need to know when these new rules come out! Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do.

Noobz347 · Jun 27, 2023

Think about also, how useful/not useful it might be if members curated the list.

Gotsta keep your eye on the gubment, they like to trick people into believing that they're "protecting" you when they make this stuff up.

I googled Hot List ,it really had nothing to do with mustangs but i may google it again!

Noobz347 · Jun 29, 2023

Update:

I opened up the ability for Official Member+ to add threads to the hotlist.

What I have not done yet is log in with a normal account to see what it looks like from you all's angle.

The controls should be in here:

Lemme know what you think.
