Whoops - whispers are making it into the summary emails

Fixed!

@tobiaseigen

it may be better to just display username or full name of popular posts authors, and not both.

Also fixed!

@tobiaseigen

I also think clicking on any of that (post excerpt, picture, username) should take me to the post - not just the READ MORE button of to the right.

Clicking on avatar and username should take you to the post? Do you mean user profile page?

@iva

Perhaps it makes sense to move the topic title of a popular post to be above the post text and more prominent?

That conflicts with the complaints that the digest is too spread out… Adding a new row above each post will add more height to the overall email.

The popular posts section is something that needs to be tuned. Currently we fetch posts with a score of 5.0 or higher. Why 5.0? Because I didn’t know what number to pick. Based on the digest emails I get every 30 minutes that number is too low.

I imagine the popular posts section is where people will want to see an important post by the game developers on a game forum, for example. When scanning the summary, I’ll spot the dev’s avatar and the post. I care less about the topic title than the fact that I missed an important post that was buried in a topic somewhere. Currently posts with only 1 like are being included as popular, but shouldn’t be.
