    Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —Todd Lehman
   (...) Another alternative might be to let the user give the threshold and time- period they want at view-time! :-) Someone in a super-hurry who only stops in once a month might want to set the threshold to 95 and 30 days. Someone who dips in quick (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)  
   
        Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —John Gramley
     (...) Yes, please. But I personally would like to see that as possibly an additional choice and to always have a "standard" daily spotlight. I know all I would have to do is innput the right values and I could get it myself, but I liked the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

     (...) Whoa -- dang -- I didn't realize how easy this would actually be to do when I wrote that. Here's something sorta like that (it goes back a maximum of 7 days): (URL) Yes, please.

      (...) articles? Also, it's very hard to see how articles have been rated with the little circles. I think it would make the highighting much more useful to the casual reader if it actually highlighted the newsworthy articles. For example, the (...)

      (...) I agree. 65 works okay for the last day, but 75-ish will be better long-term when more people are making recommendations. (...) This is a really good idea. I agree with Bram that when this is up and running, the user's skip-filter settings (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

     (...) See text at top of page there. (...) It would quite easy to offer a sorting choice -- a) Newest first ("weblog" style) b) Most recommended first ("weekly top 40" style) c) Fuzzy combination of both ("today's top stories" style) --Todd (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —Dan Boger
     (...) doh, yup... it's right there. (...) mmm... fuzzy :) by day then by rating? nod... even put a separator between days, somewhat like the current (Static) spotlight... :) Dan (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —Todd Lehman
     (...) Hmm...Maybe, but I meant fuzzy in the fuzzy-logic sense -- take the internal score (0-100) and convert it to a real number in the unit interval [0,1], then take the age of the message relative to the specified time period and make that also a (...)

         Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —Dan Boger
     (...) nodnod, that's what I expect from the top40 page, but for the spotlight (which I do like to think of as day oriented) the age of the message shouldn't matter that much, cause the set we're ranking is (should be, IMO) restricted to one day...

   (...) Definitely. Downside: it requires some comprehension of what the numbers mean. It'd be nice to have decent auto-calculated day, week, and month pre-made options. (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

        Re: Ratings thrown out; changed to Highlighting (was: Re: the latest news) —Matthew Miller
   (...) Actually, it'd be cool if it could auto-calculate a reasonable threshold for a given period. That may not prove to be necessary though. (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
