Hey guys,

I think the new XenForo is pretty alright, but one thing that I've been seriously missing the is the popular / trending threads list that the old DP used to have. There you could always see the trending topics of the day so you had an overview of what was most discussed. Now, as far as I can tell, there's no way to know which threads are the most popular right now after it's out of the 5 newest threads.

Is there a reason we got rid of this and can we please bring it back?

Edit: It seems this plugin will do exactly that:


Having a most popular posts widget next to the most popular threads widget would be awesome.

We didn't get rid of it, it wasn't a part of xF. We're not going to install an add-on that isn't maintained and the one you suggested falls under that category.

The new update allows us to create forums based on specific search criteria (pretty cool). Two new forums have been added at the bottom of the forum list top of the home screen under Forums that show the most active threads in the past 24 hours as well as the past week. I've also added a New threads link there as well.

That is absolutely fantastic and even better than it was with the old DP. Having both 24 hours and 7 days is a nice touch. Thanks a lot! This is a game changer.
