Hot thread detection, auto-bump rules, and engagement visibility management for MyBB forums.
Hot thread detection, auto-bump rules, and engagement visibility management for MyBB forums. Automatically identifies threads gaining traction based on reply and view scores, applies hot tags, and can auto-bump threads at configurable intervals.
The plugin hooks into thread display and new thread creation, calculating an engagement score for each thread. Threads exceeding the configurable threshold are tagged as 'Hot' with a flame badge. Auto-bump rules can be enabled to periodically bump active threads to keep them visible in forum listings.
Administrators can configure the hot threshold, bump interval, hot tag text, and whether to show badges on user profiles. A minimal admin panel provides quick access to all settings.
