The funny thing is that so many people complained when we rolled out the Trending page
Cheeky..... but true...
Issues and suggestions regarding the new Trending forums home page
So what you are saying is....we need this thread to go over 8 pages to get momentum to enable it again..
It's an algorithm that weighs newness, engagement, sub-forum location, and how long the thread has been on the Trending page. We obviously don't want the same handful of threads dominating the page every single day. That said, we're always looking to improve the program and I will pass along suggestions. Besides what RumPatrol said, what are some changes you'd like to see?
Oh, and I can assure you that our editors have absolutely zero in put on Trending (it's 100% computer generated), and aside from ads on the page, it is not a revenue source.
