status-resolved Feature Suggestion: Sort threads by least amount of views

[Grilled]

You can sort content by views - though it's only the top viewed thread.

I'm suggesting an option to see the least viewed threads - in efforts of dispersing interaction throughout more posts rather than a concentrated few getting the bulk amount of attention.

One example of why a thread may go unnoticed: Often times, new threads created by mods (when a post is off topic and needs its own thread) the creation date is of the time of the original post. Thus, depending on how quickly it was moved, it will not be visible in the new post section. These threads are less likely to appear in the popular today section because the time frame starts from time of post, not time of thread creation.

Maybe I'm wrong - when a new thread is created by mods - (to give certain posts the attention they deserve) do these new threads appear in the new posts section? (assuming bulk thread views derive from the new post section)

You're right, it uses the post date (not thread creation date).

Although the Overview page doesn't have an option to sort by least views, all forums (including aggregate forums) can be sorted by least views:

1. Click the "Views" column twice: https://www.namepros.com/s/domain-name-discussion/?order=view_count&direction=asc
2. Use "Thread Display Options" at the bottom of the forum.

Hope that helps,
