Hey .... if we can get it to sing, then I'm all over that. Will it take requests? (*wink*)<br><br>We'll just stick with the manual method ... and using the "to front" link until we can get a better handle on all of this.<br>

<div>> @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><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>> 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>
