i see you've come a long way on the "trending" thing


just rename it "most recently visited"?

there is no statistical math, of any kind, being applied... it is not a trend, but should be!

please apply the proper calculations?

Statistically, it is one more person viewing it than not viewing it. The stats would be the deviation of one and none. Trending is okay, but I think "most recently visited" would make more sense.

exactly -- trending "today"... "this week"... "last 3 seconds"?

a trend is "the bars we frequent the most", not "the last place i had a drink".

no big deal, but i think it turns-off more people than otherwise; without foundation it's a gimmick.

It is almost the same argument I had with two other members on here. The topic was terminology and they were saying how the number after our account names were "posts". I said "Nope, the number actually represents replies + posts". This website specifically states that there is a difference between a reply and a post. In this case, it is a trend, but people want it as a "most recently visited".
