The most popular, or the latest?
AI-generated summary
A discussion about ambiguous wording in the phrase โThese are the most popular recent topicsโ is ongoing. HAWK initiated the conversation, pointing out that the wording doesnโt match the content being presented. When viewing the most popular posts of โall timeโ, the message says they are the most popular โrecentโ posts, and when viewing the Latest posts, the message says they are the most popular.
Suggestions for improvement include removing the word โrecentโ for the Top posts erlend_sh, adding dates to the All Time view Mittineague, and rephrasing the message entirely to โWelcome to our community! Here are some popular topics to get you startedโ HAWK. However, codinghorror questions the necessity of making changes, wondering if users have reported a problem.

So the bug is that latest is highlighted but top is what is presented, in this case?
The correct things are being presented and highlighted, but the wording in the message doesnโt match.
When viewing the most popular posts of โall timeโ, the message says they are the most popular โrecentโ posts.
When viewing the Latest posts, the message says they are the most popular.
(I concede that this is very unimportant.)

So, at least for the Top one, we should just omit the โrecentโ part and weโre good, right?
These are the most popular topics
I am still not really following what is being suggested here? Did users report a problem? Is it really necessary to say
these are the most popular topics within the specified time frame
?

Maybe if dates were added to All Time it would help?
โWelcome to our community! Here are some popular topics to get you startedโ would likely cover off all the bases.

Are we sure that isnโt a past version of the wording? 
Nope, not sure at all!
