New Story Hub Development?

[SimonDoom]

When you go to the category story hub page, you will see a list of the 10 most recently published stories at the top. Click on the blue "More New Stories" bar, the list gets longer. This has gone on for a while.

But today I noticed that the longer list for Incest seems much longer than I recall it being. I didn't count them all, but there are more than 150+ stories going back to Feb. 3, 7 days ago.

But the Anal story extended list has only 35 stories, dating back to January 8.

I could be wrong but I thought the longer list before was about 25 stories, so if so, this is a new, and welcome development.

I'm curious, though, how the story lists are different for different categories. Anybody know how that's done?

The list on the old interface was twenty five stories. I don't think the expanded list on the new interface has ever been limited to twenty five. I hadn't checked the smaller categories, but the expanded list for larger categories showed one week of stories, like the New list.

You made me check some of the small categories. Their expanded lists went back to various dates, but they were all thirty five stories. Maybe the rule now is one week or thirty five stories, whichever is greater.

Another thing with the new interface is that the story stats are usually wrong unless you expand the list.

That makes sense.

After the new format was brought in clicking on the blue bar delivered 50 stories. At least in LW and Romance. I know I counted them. If it's gone beyond that now

This is completely correct.

I've been collecting data for the Valentine's Day contest and discovered exactly what you did. Either 35 stories on the extended list, or a week of new stories.

The data available here is also updated the quickest except for the top lists. It's faster than the listing on the individual story first pages or the author story listing available to a reader. Under ' Work ', the author's control panel still has the most current data, updated nearly instantly. Correct on the story stats with the fully expanded list as well.

The new stories also are available first here, under the category new story lists. The general New Story portal doesn't update for up to three hours after these category lists do.

NotWise is correct. I checked both the categories you mentioned, which are high volume categories, and the stories go back one week.

Whereas in categories like Toys, which feature fewer stories, the list goes back as long as it takes to get to 35 stories.

I accept that. I'm talking after the format update was done some months ago. It was 50 stories then. Like I said, I counted them.

I remember this being discussed by Manu.

The original Hub was supposed to go back 7 days.

Someone mentioned that certain places like Anal and Illustrated have less stories, and I recall Manu reponding to that and making changes, otherwise stories would disappear on those Hubs.

That's why Incest has so many, because it goes back 7 days.

Whereas Anal has less stories and it goes back far.

I see the one-year top list has disappeared too!

It looks to me that they are all there.

Unless there was some one-year top list attached to the category story portal.

It's still there. Just click on the "More Popular _____ Stories" bar, and you're redirected to the page that shows 30 day, 1 year, and all time stories in that category.
