Trending Topics

Admin-as an aid to identifying possible interesting developments being discussed by the cognoscenti, could you post a list, when occurring more than 10 times and with a rolling monthly cut off, of the posters appearing on the same page when their names are different.

Hi doze, I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. Do you mean a list of posters who have multi accounts? Please can you clarify what you are requesting. Many thanks

Hi Sophie, It is more a list of the hot chat topics that I want but refined to reflect recent trending as opposed to total number. This would be achieved by having a blanket coverage of topics(= companies), recording that two or more different posters have started a conversation that has lasted for more than ten days (this may need shortening) thereby identifying a trending topic earlier in the game.

Hi Doze, As I see. The trouble with that is the majority of members use Message View as opposed to Thread View, and therefore identifying which members are having a conversation may not be as easy. I have passed your comments on to the development team to have a look at in the future and see if they can rack their brains to find a suitable way of perhaps doing so and potentially incorporating it on to the site in the future. All the best

It is a tricky one. It was posters on a board's standard page size as opposed to threads. I agree that posters do tend to make following threads difficult by not hitting the reply button-something you should advise on perhaps in introduction to the site. If there is no way of automatically identifying posters in new conversations then the new trends would be too difficult to find. Thanks for your replies.
