One of the issues I considered when implementing the ‘Top-Rated Links’ feature was: how far back should the feature look? A day, two days, more? After some experimentation I settled on one day as a reasonable interval. But this meant that comment threads and conversations would disappear from the listings, 24 hours after they were posted, and I’ve been getting emails from people wondering what happened to that thread they were following and posting on.

So here’s a first draft possible solution: you can now set the number of days that are searched. For example, if you set the category drop-down menu to show the ‘10 Most-Clicked Links’, and set the ‘Days’ menu to ‘3 days’, you’ll see the most-clicked links within the last three-day interval.

Confusing, I know. So here’s an open thread, aka “Technical Note”…

And remember that the LinkViewer gives you even more fine-grained control for sifting through the link mines…
