The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I don't get it. The answer is practically below the question, one hyperlink away.
How can we do better?

The occasional kind words is a wonderful thing!

This site is truly a community effort. Wouldn't be possible without everyone's contributions.

@smaragdus: I believe we have the same outllook on this issue. Unfortunately, the world is made up as many different working styles as there are people. So in the end, I choose to focus on my work, and let the others speak for theirs. I am sure in the end quality will speak for itself.

Cheers.

I have made it available for offline download.

Thanks to webfork for alerting me to this.

> I made the top-10 topics sticky to give them more visibility

Wait so THIS thread is going to stay at the top of the Site Matters - Suggestions/Discussions forum?

Nah, the respective topics in the Portable Freeware Discussion forum.

On second thought, I made the top-10 topics sticky to give them more visibility, instead of putting them in the front page, where the content is more dynamic. Hope you guys have no objections to this.

I think maybe we can go with this approach first: 1. Sort from most recent first 2. Show 10 most recent with link to expand. This should be quite easy to do, probably only a few hours' work, including test. If we find that this is not enough, and we need pinned comments, then we can revisit it late...

Right, yeah. What I wondered though is whether the curated top 10 would change over time based on user feedback, since otherwise it might remain the same programs if nothing was updated with it (unsure how long it might be in the sidebar), when other programs might also be worth highlighting in the...

Just curious, would this be an ongoing, periodically updated list? As I'm wondering, if the goal is to highlight hidden gems and work from standout devs vs the programs seen, say, in the Popular list it would seem to me beneficial to refresh from time to time the recommendations to give other progr...

OK, will get it done by end of the week!

I think we need to nail down on how to present _both_ pinned comments and 10 most recent comments, both of which must be presented before the hidden comments. Maybe we can have this: == Top 5 voted comments == == Most recent 10 comments == == Click to show all comments (most recent first) == Any oth...

I was thinking, maybe we should put this list on the front page in the right sidebar.

Any objections?

The trash can I pictured more for spam comments, if I remember correctly how we initially set that up. Trashing comments would be to get them off the site entirely, while less relevant comments don't show up front-and-center. So lemme get this straights. What we will expect to see is: - Comment1 - ...

I think "Pinned comments" and "Auto-hide" are all quite viable. Auto-hide will be a little easier to implement, pinned comments more work, but probably not too bad. I am wondering how the down-vote in "Relevance vote" differs from the current "trash can" function for each comment (where if enough do...
