The SaidIt voting algorithm ranks "hot" & "top" feeds & sorts subsaidits. Is this algorithm public? Can less hot feeds be calculated, perhaps weekly, monthly, and/or interactively, rather than just "Hot Today"? I miss many good posts, have trouble keeping up, & find some bloom later. Comments?

yes, it's a pain in the ass to add, and I think 'top' is basically what you're after. If anything with a high vote count appears on hot, it will appear on top.

I have recorded your 'formatting help' improvement request.

I was hoping it would make sense to me, but I'm very grateful for those links. Maybe if I read that great article again. Definitely going in the article.

Definitely no rush on the formatting help.

I guess a top sorted is what I'm after.

This issue with the 'formatting help' box has just been fixed, I crossed it off our to-do list
