Very often the Daily Best list is dominated by posts from one or two threads. If you go to one of the posts, you're likely going to look over the thread and see all the others, so I think it would make the list more useful (for those like me who use it to make sure we don't miss any golden nuggets) to have a limit of two posts from any one thread appear in the list at any time.

As always, I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement. I'm just putting the idea out there to bat around. Objections and alternate suggestions are invited. If replies are encouraging, perhaps I'll see if I can't get pmdev'd and write the patch myself.

One objection I can think of myself is that maybe a Re^6 post would get overlooked in favor of a couple of Re: level posts. So perhaps the rule should be that only one reply-child of any parent node can make the list.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —
