post of the day

Nerin · 16-10-2008 05:48PM #1

is there anyway to see previous posts of the day?
maybe a page with links or something?

Daysha · 16-10-2008 06:51PM

Great idea. Some sort of archive system would be really handy

gandalf · 16-10-2008 08:04PM

Excellent idea.

Bob the Builder · 17-10-2008 12:03AM

T'would be nifty alright....

Daysha · 17-10-2008 12:15AM

Also, not many posters, myself included, scroll over to the "boards.ie" drop down menu, essentially because there aren't any actual boards to be accessed there.

Would it make sense to put a PotD link somewhere a little more noticeable, such as between the post filter and the RSS link on the main page above the latest posts?

Just a thought.

brendansmith · 17-10-2008 12:20AM

Excellent idea!

Insect Overlord · 17-10-2008 12:59AM

An archive of these Posts of the Day would be great, maybe even culminating in a Biki page some day?

javaboy · 17-10-2008 01:04AM

The current POTD is by seamus and in a forum I don't have access to (maybe mod forum). Could private forums be filtered out from the POTD function? That's inevitably going to happen quite a bit and makes it pointless for many users.

That's a good idea, now if only we knew someone who has a hobby of creating and updating biki pages, any suggestions op? :pac:

Oh man you're totally missin out. It's like the GREATEST post of the day ever!!!

monkeyfudge · 17-10-2008 02:28AM

oooh... beaten by just two posts today.

watna · 17-10-2008 06:33AM

I've just checked the post of the day and it's in the mod forum. I'm not sure that's the best idea. Surely everyone should be able to see it?

EDIT: I see javaboy has mentioned it already.

brendansmith · 17-10-2008 06:39AM

I think you are absolutely right Watna, i feel putting an exclusive forums post as a post of the day will only further aggitate the hatred that lie between mod's and those whos souls are still intact!:D:D:pac::D:mad::):p:D:rolleyes:

Souls intact you say?

Good point, I retract my earlier statement!

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 17-10-2008 10:37AM

Ahhhh, what the hell did Seamus say? It's driving me crazy, it must have been super funny!

seamus · 17-10-2008 10:47AM

Actually, I quoted something super-funny that someone else posted.

Kind of a hollow victory.

Which was...?

Tigger · 17-10-2008 11:23AM

i said this in the other current post of the day thread

two things

1 post of the day is from yesterday

2 a post/thread of the day archive would be cool and get posters into more fora (is it fora ?)

also seamus stop alluding to what yer man said in pi and tell us

faceman · 17-10-2008 01:43PM

Wow, I thought i was the only person who was looking at this each day!

biko · 17-10-2008 02:16PM

For POTD archive just left click on my name and choose "Find More Posts by biko"

Badum tish

Overheal · 17-10-2008 04:27PM

PotD probably should filter out restricted forums etc anyway. Imagine if it took someones post from The Thunderdome, say.

eVeNtInE · 17-10-2008 04:45PM

This post has been deleted.

javaboy · 17-10-2008 05:35PM

Even better would be to put the most thanked i.e. POTD filter into the advanced search page. Then you could look up the most thanked post in a particular forum or forums..

TequilaMockingBird · 18-10-2008 10:11AM

Is a bit pointless then if the vast majority of users can't read it.

How about the mod forum has it very own potd feature, and us plebs have the regular one?

Climate Expert · 18-10-2008 01:28PM

How can you tell if you've won post of the day? I've probably missed out on a fair few now.

Galvasean · 20-10-2008 11:08PM

Just out of interest, how is thread of the day decided?
