[Pirate] Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I have a suggestion for BPN. At present the BPN Thread with the last post is displayed at the homepage. IMO this should be changed so that the last created BPN thread is displayed. this allows the latest news to be put there, not as it is now where contreversial posts and others with a lot of comments get to the top.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted August 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 27, 2004 So, order by thread creation date, not by last post date, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysah Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Fantastic idea. Would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chode Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I dunno.... I like how it is, as if a news article is popular it seems to keep finding it's way back to the top. I've always seen the latest news part as been latest news of popularity, not the latest news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pirate] Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 Fantastic idea. Would be great. yeah but i want them to come back and implement it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambooo Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Good idea, hope the coders implement it.. /me dreams - if I was in control I would of modded this board to death... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted August 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2004 /me dreams - if I was in control I would of modded this board to death... Keep dreaming. The idea is quite interesting, but it may not work out well. Some people make news posts which get about 5 replies since there's nothing much to discuss about while other threads get 5 pages of discussion. If we were to follow this idea, then the thread with the more popularity will quickly sink to the second page and fade out as more people post news. I think we should keep it the way it is.

OPaul Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Why does the ordering have to be changed to have the newest thread appear Neowin.net latest news: line? Can't something be added that adds a flag whenever a new thread is created in that forum and then removes the flag from the previous thread?

[Pirate] Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 I Might not have been clear enough. the order of the post index page of the BPN page need not be changed. All i am saying is at present the BPN thread with the last post is linked to on the homepage. This should be changed to the last-created thread IMO.

John Veteran Posted August 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2004 You want the threads to be ordered by thread creation date? :huh: No, that won't happen, but the link at the top of the forums might be changed to show the newest thread instead of the thread with the newest post...

[Pirate] Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 that is what i am saying. only change the link. the forum folder neednt be changed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
