Question

What is a trending topic ?

... maybe I should ask the "Trending Fairy"

The IAST & the RAST extended 200 treads, done years ago.

Trending topics haven't changed for a month .

I vote for zapping "Trending topics".

Think of it as "What's Popular." And the topics begin to trend when Mathcad users either search on the topic and view the thread and/or reply to it. It hasn't changed because members either continue to search on the topics or are curious and click on Trending Topics widget.

Even just searching can set it as a trending topic? I don't think I like that idea. There are some things people will search for a lot, a good example being "units". That should not set a particular thread as a trending topic though. The thread may have no bearing at all on what they were looking for in terms of units. Of course, by the time they have figured that out they will probably have looked at it!

Search as in browsing through threads. If they use the search tool, only when they click on a result would it count towards the trend.
