Fire Icon on Threads?
Fire Icon on Threads?
So, I have been seeing this fire icon on some threads in some subforums. What is it for? What does it mean?
Example URL: viewforum.php?f=62
Example URL: viewforum.php?f=62
That signifies a hot topic. PHPBB doesn't really have a icon legend. Don't ask me what the trigger is just trust the forum software knows what it's doing.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it."
So basically, we don't know what defines a "Hot Topic" right, like how much activity or posts in a period of time just PHPBB knows that?
No but you could probably ask them yourself: https://www.phpbb.com/community/
"If it ain't broke don't fix it."

You found the same topic I did on the Googles.

[mention]smed79[/mention] Thanks for this, this is extremely useful. What is the "Link forum" one for?
Also, can this be added in the FAQ or somewhere similar as this would be really helpful for new site comers as well.

Be patient when I have something you'll know.

[mention]Lanik[/mention] I meant with the "versus imgur" part.
I also noticed that you added an icon legend near the footer, nice. Add the fire icon one there too it was the most confusing one for me.

Comparatively speaking I like your icons a bit better. I found a better solution, go back to: viewforum.php?f=62 and scroll to the bottom. Now marvel at my genius.
Spoiler
In case it's not obvious yet this is an extension not something I put together in 15 minutes.

[mention]smed79[/mention] That doesn't explain the role of Link Forum.
Dammit, here I was thinking we have a literal genius on our hand hereIn case it's not obvious yet this is an extension not something I put together in 15 minutes.
Keeping original images and playing with the CSS is betterLanik wrote:Comparatively speaking I like your icons a bit better.
It's just a link, e.g. http://example.com/Lanik wrote:It's a thread that's been moved to a different forum.

As an example at the PHPBB forums, the subforum called "Area 51 Development Board" is a link.PHPBB > forum types > Link
The forum list displays a forum link like a normal forum. But instead of linking to a forum, you can point it to a URL of your choice.

Let's say someone posted in the wrong forum and we (the moderators) have to move the said thread. Once the move happens you'll see the topic in the original forum with the moved icon and the new forum. The new forum will be where the thread actually lives and the old forum is just a pointer/link/whatever you want to call it. Still confused?

[mention]Lanik[/mention] Thanks for the explanation but I think the explanation fits "Moved topic" more. [mention]smed79[/mention] Example above seems to fit the use case for "Link forum", forum being the operative word here.
I think it's just [mention]smed79[/mention] trying to explain things when English isn't his (I assume) second/third/fourth/hundreds language.
AFAIK "Link Forum" doesn't exist.

@Lanik
Moved topic is different to Link forum .
"Link forum" can be created only via admin panel.

You're right now it's coming back to me.

[mention]Lanik[/mention] To be fair Med's English is extremely fine considering its probably his third language. And yeah you were wrong so
Duolingo is what i recommend

On forums, a rapid onslaught of responses from the members on a particular thread is considered a hot topic and here the hotness is associated with the fire icon.
