Rerolling the Featured Threads System.

[Null]

A while back I picked up a promising add-on for highlighting cool threads. I dropped it because the change was very poorly perceived and I probably handled it without much finesse.

So I'm trying it out again. Instead of having a red type up a notice when something interesting happens, the interesting post will get sent to the front page by one of two mechanisms.

• Any thread in the Lolcow board that receives 50 posts in 48 hours (may tweak depending on results).
• Any thread highlighted by a staff member.

These notices can be dismissed, so if you check it out &/or you don't care about it, feel free to can it.

I'm going to promote @applecat @Hunger Mythos and @chimpchan to thread highlighters as a part of the test. Their only responsibility is to feature threads they think other people may like.

Can you remove the user picture from the feature please? I feel like its too big, esp for mobile users.

Avatars are automatically hidden on mobile platforms. If you are using an iPhone I would suggest you stop using an iPhone.

How do we dismiss the notice? Usually on the emmanual ones there was an X at the top right but I don't see one here....

should be an arrow with dismiss notice in the menu.

Actually, this is incorrect. I have tested against buttslave and there is no arrow. The arrow only shows up for staff.

Disimssal ability would probably require you modify the mod.

I guess Salt Mines aren't automatically featured?
