(at least, that's the one with the most LOLs)

wouldn't you run a report for the post with the highest number of LOLs? Could take some time to execute as you'd have to read every post. modifying the site to update on the fly the reference to the post with the highest LOL count, whenever a post is awarded a LOL might be feasible. Then you could have the data updated each time the stats on the left of the pages are refreshed

EDIT why not the top 3 funniest, the top 3 wisest, the top 3 WOWsers?

How about most useless post?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm aware I've left myself wide open on that.

This suggests we should probably do a widget for this.

I dunno if it's worth keeping a running total - but a look back at the end of the year is fine with me

bertie

I think Emp is leagues ahead of anyone........... well for threads, if not posts

The trouble with that is that stuff that rises to the top tends to stay at the top. We could make it a monthly thing, I guess, but we'd have to work out a clever way of doing it; the queries to do it are fine on a one-off, but not especially CPU-friendly if they're happening with every request.

Is that lol'ing wit or at? we loves him really..

Phil_aka_Pip

@digitalscream thats why I suggested keeping a reference to the current funniest and updating it if the currently opened thread is the new funniest. Otherwise yes you do not want to be doing a search on a regular basis, and if you keep a running total then no search will ever be needed.

I was thinking all time / yearly / monthly weekly and use some caching so it only refreshes every so often.

Are you tempted to edit that post to say something like, "Just to let you know guys, I've got bowel cancer so I won't be around for a bit."?

That would make us look like a right bunch of cnuts.

Is the feedback retained if you edit the post?
