> In our case, we would like to display as many as possible top posts from the week, but also avoid the system to change the view to top posts of the month if there are fewer than, say, 5 topics. However, with the current settings, if we set “Topics per period in top page” to 5 - it will only display 5 topics, which looks silly! If we set a higher number like 15 it might work for some weeks, but other weeks the system will then change the top timeframe to a month to find exactly 15 topics to populate the list.

What might work for me in my specific use case would be something like this.

Interval: 1 day, 1 week, 1 whatever  
Number of Posts: X  
**New -** Number of Intervals: Y

With this, I can see the display being as follows:

This Interval: X or \<X posts  
Last Interval: X or \<X posts  
…  
Y Interval: X or \<X posts.

(I’m trying to create a location specific news community, so it is important to show what is top / new today, even if it does not match the threshold)
