in reply to New Code and New Snippets not exposed long enough

I haven't observed this issue closely, but couldn't it be attributed to the fact that there's a substantially greater amount of post being made to the New Code and New Snippets sections that it is to the Discussion which causes these posts to 'disappear' much sooner? Therefore, there's little one could do other than alter the behaviour of the entire site as the back-end code that takes care of your posts is pretty much the same for every section.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of this is limited from the point of being a mere user/observer. I haven't yet looked at the underlying Everything code to be able to render a more conclusive and precise answer :)

    That's a good point. This could be addressed, though, by adding a rule that limits the number of posts to show to something like 10. I have rarely, if ever, seen more than 10 new code entries in a week; the same for new snippets.

    Everything should be flexible enough to handle something like this, right vroom (or tye)? ;)
