| 397519 | 2005-10-19 02:09:00 | One that's popular, I suppose . It might be ones that have 11 or more postings . But there is at least one with 11 which isn't marked hot . Maybe it needs 11 . 5 postings . Or maybe it depends on who is looking . If they have posted in a thread, it might be marked hot? Or one with more than ten postings which the viewer has posted in? Or a thread with mag wheels, lowered suspension, a turbo, and fluffy dice hanging from the rear vision mirror? Or maybe it's just random . :D |

| 397520 | 2005-10-19 02:10:00 | Ah I see now... But whats a "hot thread"? What's a hot motorbike? What's a hot car? Who's a hot singer? What's a hot comp? A HOT one. A hot thread is a HOT one. (Excuse the shouting) I don't know wheteher it's done on number of reply posts, or views, can't be exclusively on views because some threads look interesting so get lots of views but turn out to be boring or incomprehensible so don't get many replies so can't become 'hot'. Maybe it's done only on posts. Have a look. Count up the numbers on hot threads and cool ones and cold ones. Post back.:D |

| 397521 | 2005-10-19 02:23:00 | Or maybe it depends on who is looking . If they have posted in a thread, it might be marked hot? It's based on the how hot the people are who are looking . Threads that are really hot are looked at by lots extremely attractive tech support professionals who wear glasses, tight fitting suits, and pout their silicon-filled, violently red, moist lips at any office worker who dares ask for an upgrade . Threads that are really not hot are only looked at by boring old geeks who vaguley resemble the comic shop guy from The Simpsons . |

| 397523 | 2005-10-19 02:39:00 | I see. And what are your appearance standards for the female tech support professionals? Hey, I didn't write the software. Besides, it's widely acknowledged that I have no standards. |

| 397524 | 2005-10-19 03:06:00 | Hahaha well said Bruce. I did some research and found out that "hot threads" are ones with 150 or more views (Or 15 posts perhaps???). Man I must be bored at the mo... Must be because I'm studying :lol: ... Don't do that as often as I should :eek: Back to it then! roddy |

| 397525 | 2005-10-19 03:40:00 | Doesn't realy mean a thing. I read them all. Hot and cold. The official explanation leaves one question unanswered. Are hot posts hot because the powers that be think they should be? And are non-hot posts cold because they might induce someone to flame them. But not bad enough to warrant the padlock? |

| 397526 | 2005-10-19 03:48:00 | A deep fried chocolate fish to Roddy_boy. It looks to be 150 views which makes a thread hot. The (personalized) little arrow says "you" have posted to the thread. Sad, isn't it? | Graham L (2) | ||
| 397527 | 2005-10-19 03:53:00 | Actually it's probably configurable in the admin side. | Biggles (121) | ||
