I’ve noticed that as soon as new papers hit the ePrint, the front page is flooded with new topics.
This makes it a bit tricky to see what was actually being discussed before the new-paper-flood.
Is is possible to filter out these “automated” new topics and see only the “organic” discussion?
This is indeed a very good idea. As a quick fix, I put an Active navigation item on the main page:
This simply displays topics with at least one reply. However, this will also hide the user created topics with zero replies. Resolving that might take a bit more time but let me know if this works as a temporary solution.
Also, for questions and discussions, you can always use the category filter:
Exactly, that type of query is currently not supported by default. However, it is definitely possible to add it and I will update this post when it is done.
