Back Page News Suggestion


Recommended Posts

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.

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...

/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.

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?

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.

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...
