<DIV class=im>> @Otto - Ian Stewart suggested asking you questions that
might relate to the<BR>> Featured Themes ... I counted 15, just didn't
know if that was all or if<BR>> that was all that were shown at one time
as 15 is the number of themes shown<BR>> per page by default anywhere
else.<BR><BR></DIV>Yeah, I didn't think of that. I'll double check. The code
doesn't<BR>specify a number, so I assumed that was all of them. Looking
closely<BR>at it, I can see that it's doing a BB_Query without specifying
a<BR>number, so it may only be displaying the first 15.<BR>
<DIV class=im><BR>> As to the random idea, perhaps I'm not explaining it
clearly enough.<BR>><BR>> Let's start with the above being a static
quantity, that is _only_ 15 themes<BR>> are shown on the Featured Theme
page, not sure what would happen if say 20<BR>> themes were set to be
"sticky" ... and I would prefer not to test it out.<BR>><BR>> Can a
portion of those themes, perhaps the last one to three themes be<BR>>
randomly picked? Leave the the first set of themes as manually set
to<BR>> "stick" to the front page, while the second set are randomly
picked from the<BR>> repository and automatically set to "stick" ... or
is this an all or nothing<BR>> affair which if that is the case we can
keep going forward with the manual<BR>> method.<BR><BR></DIV>I can make
it do anything at all, including lounge singing, but having<BR>three random
themes show up in the featured list does strike me as<BR>rather
strange. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>We were just thinking of having a random theme picked automagically
for say 7 days...<BR>but having it sing would be better ;)<BR>

<DIV class=im>> PS: What is the difference in the "sticky" links ... one
reads "Stick Topic"<BR>> the other reads "to front"? The "to front" link
has the extra parameter<BR>> &super=1 in it. EAC<BR><BR></DIV>Short
answer: Use Stick To Front to make a theme featured.<BR>
