[Peter_Rosado]

any way to show the hot threads by order of the amount that the users have hot threaded it? Also, any way to make hot threads delete themselves every X days, for example I want to see new hot threads every 7 days.

I forgot to mention that when I click on the hot thread list it doesn't do anything
