    04/2018 - How Many Days Should "Today's Posts" Be?

    I can modify the number of days "Today's Posts" displays.

    Based off this suggestion;
    http://news.insearchofchicas.org/for...-Active-Topics

    But how many is just right?

    I think three might be about right. Maybe you could set up a poll?

    I added an extreme option "Example TP", of course I would rename it properly if we decide to go that route.

    Re: How Many Days Should "Today's Posts" Be?

    Hunter posted a GREAT hack for this in his "DT - Active Topics" thread. I quote - with a hot-link:

    news.insearchofchicas.org/forum/search.php?do=getdaily&days=7&exclude=629,630,631,632,633,634,635,636,637,638,639,640,641,741,864&contenttype=vBForum_Post

    Hit that link and you'll get a list of the active topics for the last seven days. Bookmark it, and you'll have "Active Topics" at your fingertips.

    The key is that direction, "&days=7" ... you could change it to "&days=3" or "&days=30," or whatever you like.

    I've saved it to my bookmarks list, and put it right below my "ISOC" bookmark.

    Thanks, Hunter -- that's great stuff!!!

    This is odd ... Since you added that "Example TP" button, I've lost the second-line menu. It comes up when I hit my own 7-day search bookmark, but it disappears when I go to any other page ... (Outlook on Windows 7)

    Could it be caused by having "too many buttons?"

    my two cents is there is no need to go any further that works perfect

    Works fine now -- Thanks!

    As for "Example TP", a better label might be "Recent Posts" -- with the drop-down menu:

    Today's Posts
    Last 3 Days
    Last 7 Days
    Last 14 Days
    Last 21 Days
    Last 30 Days

    You've already got it working -- that's the important part, and it works like a charm!
