My Sharona Posted Tuesday at 09:43 AM Posted Tuesday at 09:43 AM I upgraded yesterday to the latest greatest and now every time a thread is posted to, the "Hot! "x" replies" button is displayed. I originally thought that maybe it was a plugin or app that was causing the issue so I disabled them all and when it persisted, I thought to check my other website that has none of the same apps, plugins and sure enough, it is happening there as well. I should also mention that I tried turning it off completely in the ACP, and, again, it persists. Wasn't there once a setting where you could stipulate how many posts determined whether or not it was popular? Â
Marc Posted Tuesday at 09:47 AM Posted Tuesday at 09:47 AM There is indeed a setting for this. Take a look in System>Settings>Posting.Â

I see nothing there that would allow for the stipulation of postings that would lend to a topic being popular or not.  Edited Tuesday at 09:53 AM by My Sharona

Adriano Faria Posted Tuesday at 10:01 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:01 AM (edited) Forums settings = ACP -> Community -> Forums -> Settings. Edited Tuesday at 10:03 AM by Adriano Faria
Daniel F Posted Tuesday at 10:05 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:05 AM You could also use the ACP livesearch and search for popular or hot 🙂

Yep, I turned that off and they still show. Also, nothing there about the ability to stipulate how many posts make a thread popular.  4 minutes ago, Daniel F said: You could also use the ACP livesearch and search for popular or hot 🙂 See above Also, can't set a Trending aspect because that is for plans above mine apparently.

My Sharona Posted Tuesday at 10:12 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 10:12 AM (edited) Additionally, the button shows for anything within the last hour, even though, again, I turned the function off and cleared caches. Edited Tuesday at 10:13 AM by My Sharona
Daniel F Posted Tuesday at 10:14 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:14 AM Thanks, I just noticed a few issues while testing this, which I have reported to our bug tracker. My Sharona 1

Is there going to be a fix for this soon or am I going to have to live with the Hot! button till the next release? Â Also, why has not this been reported by someone else before? I'm quite sure I'm not the first to upgrade to X.x.19, and I'm sure it is not solely relegated to my sites. Had I seen such a posting like this, I probably wouldn't have upgraded.

My Sharona Posted Tuesday at 10:27 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 10:27 AM (edited) @Daniel F One last observation here to maybe help your debugging be thorough... Yesterday when I thought it was probably a caching issue (I couldn't get to the backend to clear them), I noticed that it wasn't occurring to every thread that was being posted to. In other words, the display of the button wasn't uniform. It didn't dawn on me at the time that that didn't make sense, until now. Edited Tuesday at 10:28 AM by My Sharona

To illustrate the above, here is the IPS forum, showing that my Thread is not hot while the two under it are, and were last posted to over 40 minutes ago.
My Sharona Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM (edited) One last observation here... Setting the, "Popular Now" setting to "Never" does stop new posts to threads from showing the "Hot!" button on said threads. It just took an hour for it to propagate through the system of threads already displaying the button. Â This however does not fix the issue, it only stops the display from showing, what is apparently, randomly. Edited Tuesday at 11:21 AM by My Sharona
Stuart Silvester Posted Tuesday at 07:12 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:12 PM Hot topics works by storing a timestamp of when the topic is popular. When you disable the feature, that timestamp is still stored and referenced so eventually (based on what the setting previously was) the badge will get removed. We can look at making it remove much quicker when you change the setting, but that's how it's worked for years.
