Re^3: An interesting quirk of the new order?

It could be I who is mis-impressioned. Here's a section of relevant site code. I'm fairly certain that I'm not hurting anything by showing it:

  22: return  qq[<span class="other-users-text">Others ]
  23:        .qq[<span class="other-users-blurb">$blurb</span> the mon
+astery:</span> ] 
  24:        .htmlcode( 'get_picked_nodes', '', 
  25:                  type    => 'Users', 
  26:                  past    => $time,  # minutes!
  27:                  max_age => 2,      # minutes!
  28:                  choose  => $limit, 
  29:                  style   => 'nodelet');

And following into the 'get_picked_nodes' code, I see that the order is fleshed out to be "Selected Users In descending order of XP" I learned something new about the site today. So your point seems valid; what caused the order to go funky? ...my money is on the gremlins.

...my money is on the gremlins. Okay, it's hardly important of itself, but given the recent changes, and that I have never seen it before, it could be indicative of a deeper problem. So I thought it worth reporting. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal? "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

I never said gremlins shouldn't be considered a deeper problem. ;) It is curious, actually. I just double-checked, and it doesn't look as though the code related to Other Users and pick_nodes has been touched lately. Dave	[reply]
