Is it possible to have the Active Forum Topics include Scott's Blog of F**K and the Front Page?

At present, any time someone makes a new comment to a topic within the Forum proper, that topic is bounced to the top of the Active Forum Topics section of the site. This is the box in the right margin, recently expanded from 10 to 15 topics at Belladonna's request. I'm wondering if it's possible to include comments made to discussions on the Front Page (eg new episodes, D0M year in review, etc.) and Scott's Blog of F**K.

I know I only monitor the Active Forum Topics as a general rule. If I've made a comment in a Front Page or Blog of F**K post (eg Purist Nation Basketball League?) then I will go back and check to monitor that occasionally. But I don't check on it very often. It's just not convenient for me. I suspect I'm not alone in this behavior, but I could be wrong.

I usually check the Active list (and the increase to 15 was a great idea!) and then I'll also track a few posters that I've found interesting (yes, dear sadock you are one of them).

But I often lose track of the Blog posts and other areas.

It may be a limitation of Drupal, but worth asking about.

to make me laugh, or cringe. And you seem to "get" my sense of humor, which doesn't always translate in the ether.

Not to be the gum on the bottom of this junkie shoe, but I kinda like the two sections separated.

Having Scott's blog posts in a separate list allows me to see if there's anything he's posting without having to muddle through the junkie postings.  If anything, I could see combining the front page with Scott's blog list but I would rather see his posting kept separate from ours.

I thought sadock was asking for comments to the blog and front page to be included in the Active Forum Topics list. I don't think we want to mix the FDO's blogs in with the forum topics.

Keep the Front Page, Blog of F**K, and Forum the way they are, but alter the Active Forum Topics to include the Blog of F**K and Front Page posts if they happen to be more active than forum topics at any given point in time. In other words, whichever one of the three has the most recent comment goes to the top of the Active Forum Topics.

The only actual change would be introducing comments on Blog of F**K posts and Front Page posts into the "active" rotation. Scott's posts, and the location of them on the site would stay exactly where they are now. I think it would increase traffic to his posts, and make the site more ergonomic for everyone, but I'm just a measly peon. No need to listen to me Embarassed

Thanks for the clarification and nice to see ya back!

Certainly most of the junkies "get" the gutter brethren comments and probably just assume you are being snarky 80-90% of the rest of the time. And don't go giving me the poor, unappreciated schpeil/shpiel (hell, I can't spell for shite) either, ye olde Producer of DOOM.

Course I'm just assuming you find me witty and charming (and sometimes Bitchy). Please don't spoil the illusion now.

Been down with a flu/cold in addition to ear infection from hell.

Good to get online again. Kind of did a half day today. Go in for minor ear surgery on Wednesday. Hopefully that will clear things up.

I'm highly entertained that your and Scott's initial reaction was nearly identical.

Well, I'm sure the surgery is the best thing for you.  You've been dealing with this for too long.  Good luck!

Do you feel hot air coming out? Foot in mouth

Well, it's not like you got a piece of a dead guy implanted (or did you?)... but that does sound kinda painful. If it's any help, when my daughter got the tubes it was amazing how fast she recovered and she went years without any more ear problems.
