how do you feature threads?

**Soliloquy** · 09-02-2008, 10:10 PM

For a long time now (it seems) I've been using the Feature Threads mod to highlight my picks for the best four threads. But of all the mods I'm the only one featuring annd unfeaturing threads, and it's getting a little old. Are there any other mods to automatically display the most popular threads on the forumhome, preferably something that will ignore certain threads that I specify?

I just let the threads fall where they may!

Every once in awhile I'll go and bump a thread here or there. But, for the most part, the members are going to tell you which ones are popular by actually posting to them.

I have like 50 mods, I don't need anymore!

I haven't thought of using anything like that either!

Don't want to have too many things on forumhome but I think I'll have a wee look some feature mods to see what's out there.

Oh, I only feature four threads at a time. Anything more would just be too big of a block. It's good to be able to draw attention to important threads, I just don't want to have to do it every day

i wish i could hide thread and have no-one want to post in them, this presidential election is killing me, i can feel the grey hairs...

lol I've sure felt that way about some threads too. You want to say "didn't your mama tell you not to discuss that in polite company?"

**Caddyman** · 09-05-2008, 07:24 AM

lol a lot of posters catually say that and stay out of those topics, but i have a few that just can't admin when they are wrong and always have to be right, drives me nuts...

It's cringeworthy at times, but I guess the relative anonymity gives them a sense of security... they see the forum and think it's confession time

funny thread a emmber made today in reference to the current bickering going on, i got a kick out of it...

Internet Forums

well I wouldn't feature that one, wouldn't want to call attention to the bickering <--deftly steering the thread back on topic
so there are no other mods that will automatically feature hot threads yet allow human override?

**Caddyman** · 09-06-2008, 03:27 AM

i poked around on vb.org and i didnt see any, i guess you might be stuck with using the system you have now.

**Soliloquy** · 09-06-2008, 07:41 AM

was hoping someone knew of something I'd missed but oh well. I'll try posting a request for a mod like that, maybe others are also looking for the same thing.

**Caddyman** · 09-26-2008, 04:48 PM

did you ever find out if there was a mod like this? after thinking about it a bit i think it would be a cool feature, sometimes help sterr the environmetn in the forum to a better direction

**Soliloquy** · 09-26-2008, 08:53 PM

no luck, I guess having a "latest top threads" is similar but I don't know of any that allow you to disallow threads or override to use your choices...
