Trending & Leaderboards
Trending and Leaderboards surface the most active content and members.
Trending Content
The Trending view highlights recent threads that are gaining traction. It ranks threads by activity (replies and views) balanced against how recent they are, so fresh, lively threads rise to the top.
Trending shows up in three places: the dedicated Trending page (the hottest threads of the last 24 hours), the Trending tab on the feed, and a trending widget in the desktop sidebar (the liveliest threads of the last two weeks). It refreshes frequently through the day.
Trending always respects forum visibility. Threads from private or restricted forums only appear to members who can already see those forums; everyone else — including visitors — sees public conversations only.
Leaderboard
The Leaderboard ranks members by the credits they have earned. Open it from the Leaderboard link in the navigation.
You can view it for three time windows:
| Period | Covers |
|---|---|
| This week | The last 7 days |
| This month | The last 30 days |
| All time | Everything since the community started |
The board shows the top 25 credit earners for the period you pick, with their avatar, username, and total.
Who's Online
The Who's Online page shows members active recently. A member counts as online if they have been active in the last 15 minutes.
You control whether you appear in Settings → Privacy → Show Online Status.
Community Stats
The community stats widget on the forum index shows aggregate numbers:
- Total members.
- Total threads.
- Total posts.
- The newest member, with a link to their profile.
