Tried clicking “hot” since “active” got a little stale. Saw a few interesting links, but before I could click anything, they all got pushed down by a dozen new links. Is there a way to freeze it until I refresh?

    Wait. ‘Hot’ sorting does an ajax-y update on new content?

    I’m not getting any of that, and I admit to a little envy on it.

      It does, so does ‘New’. But it makes all of the other posts jump around when you try to click on stuff. Not advised

        I finally saw it – the posts went flippy-flip right under my mouse!

        yes, I DO think that a ‘stop’ button (that’s ‘wwt’ for our Qc friends ;-) ) would be a very cool idea. You sold me on this one.

        Could we consider begging for a slow-scroll thing too, so that when there’s X new posts, it’ll slow-scroll up/down and insert-sort them as required? It’s almost as jarring as the flippy-flips, but it’d add the one at a time at a constant rate instead of the crushing block, which may be slightly more pleasing to the eye.

        … because yeah, all the other issues must be fixed so I can bring up silly chrome and polish? :-D
