Well most members know if a thread icon () turns red () it means the thread has 30+ replies or 300+ views. Well i was viewing the latest posts and i noticed that it turns like that very easily and most (but not all) normal questions get up to 300+ views. RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by Vilkku on 03-17-2008 at 05:09 PM Does it really matter? RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by Quantum on 03-17-2008 at 05:19 PM Well if there all turning red there's no point in having blue.

They aren't all red. Did you even look at either of the boards? I only see ~50% of them in red. RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by toddy on 03-17-2008 at 06:32 PM lastest post page 17 out of 50 are red (34%) so not really that high, specially if you take GCC % t&t out, it drops down to 24%. as other have said fix something that isn't broke ? quote: RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by WDZ on 03-17-2008 at 07:32 PM
quote:Not necessarily... sometimes stuff doesn't get done until someone brings it up. That number hasn't been changed in years, and the board is busier now, so it might make sense to increase it a bit. Of all the threads in the database, 72% have 300+ views. However, the percentage is much lower (17%-22%) if you only count threads started in the last month or two. RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by Quantum on 03-17-2008 at 08:08 PM

IMO it should be increased a bit. Do I care? No. Why do I want it changed? The only reason its there imo is for statistics. I like my stats. This is just one more stat. So imo it should be increased considering that the activity has increased quite a bit since the old days when the 30/300 requirements were made (in mybb itself iirc). RE: More than 300 views to turn red.. by markee on 03-17-2008 at 09:46 PM Isn't it a good thing to have the blue so at a quick glance we can tell the difference between a new thread and one that has been recently bumped (or spammed)? This is a support forum remember and if there are blue ones then it means there hasn't been much help given more than likely. I personally think it is perfect the way that it is. |
