Today's active topics short-cut,

Hello again,

I have a suggestion regarding the Today's active topics short-cut that I'm sure is used quite often by both the Tech & Malware Teams.
I have often thought how concerning it may sometimes be for both teams when we are flooded with entries in the Malware & Tech side, and are all hands on deck.
How much does it slow things down to not be able to just click on the Today's active topics and see exactly what your after.

I have no idea as to what alterations would be needed, or do I know the site software limitations.
Maybe it is as easy as adding a separate link for Virus Removal and making the Virus Removal entries on the Tech Related link invisible, as I said, I have no 'web site design or programing experience'. Good Luck with it.

Just an idea.

I didn't even know there was a "Today's active topics". Guess I need to check it out. Okay, I give up, where is it hidden?

Can't find it either

Is it Recent Forum Posts or Recent Entries at the home page? http://www.whatthetech.com/

yes it is the same link as View New Posts (get_new_posts)

Looking at the http://forums.whatthetech.com/forums.html page it appears at the top right, next to My Controls. It also appears at the bottom of this same page on the right, under the Topic Board Statics and is Labeled Today's active topics next to the following other links The moderating team · Today's top 20 posters · Overall top 20 posters 📎WTT_Print.JPG

Got it … pretty useless as far as I can see. Definitely need to split off the malware removal part though as it floods the stats.

We've had this discussion before. Previously it was noted that since a prominent column labels the Forum from which the Topic is taken, any user can easily scan through and find the Tech threads v Malware Threads. There is a certain amount of Board configuration overhead involved in making any changes to his feature. There would need to be a fairly substantial benefit involved before such a change was initiated.

I never use it so not worth the effort for me.

I just use the unanswered topics feature in the Infections forum, and I have a log management system that opens up links to all my active logs anyway, so no real benefit for me I'm afraid. …And tech team can just wade through our malware topics if they want to see something useful from the new posts. (Sorry guys, you know you're my friends)
