How many rec's does a Lounge post have to get before it gets on the Greatest Page? (Original Post) Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 OP

Let's find out! K&R csziggy Oct 2012 #1

Tuesday Afternoon's Gangnam style should be there with 6 rec's but I can't find it. Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #2

It's there; I just spotted it. CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #4

Yes, I saw it on the right. Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #5

They're listed in the order of how many recs they have... CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #6

No, I mean the top of the column on the left hand side, or the middle. Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #8

The left hand column is sorted by time. CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #10

That was my understanding too. Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #11

I don't think that has anything to do with it. CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #12

I think you may have very well missed it. The top post on the left side is only 17 minutes old... MiddleFingerMom Oct 2012 #13

Ahhh. It's arithmetic. Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #14

The threads are listed on that page in a hierarchy of recs... not which is the most recent. MiddleFingerMom Oct 2012 #7

But doesn't it usually start on the left hand column first? Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #9

It takes the same number as any other forum/group=five. CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2012 #3

Oh, something like eleventy-four or something. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #15

Look in the right-hand column. The posts are listed in order of how many recs on that side.

It's down near the bottom of the page since it has six.

The top ones have hundreds, sometimes.

That's why!

So I guess that means the moment it got the five recs, it shows up over there. I've never fully understood that side.

I just look at the right hand column. It makes sense to me...

But I've noticed that Lounge threads don't make it to the top of the left hand column where more people will see it.

Are we on Double secret probation?

We are not on any kind of probation. If we were, no Lounge threads would be eligible at all for the Greatest Page.
