Yep. Now the original issue appears to be fixed, and the new problems have disappeared. I had already noticed the coloring and scrolling for pinned posts and now I see the banner info, too. I like the general direction.

Out of curiosity, will you be adding back the menu options for "Hot" and "Promoted" and switching the landing page to "/promoted"?

The colouring's just where I'm trying to identify items in the CSS and the easiest way of doing that is with a massive border. It's tempting to keep it as a design feature - it's certainly eye catching - but I probably won't 🙂

Probably not - certainly not initially anyway. I'm working on the assumption that the Steemit Team removed it for a reason. Having just looked at 'Hot', it's as pointless as 'Trending' in its current form so I don't know if there's much benefit.

I don't know if /promoted is working any more. It didn't work the last time I tried it.

/promoted is still working:

I agree that /hot isn't very useful at the top level, but my thinking is that it might add variety inside of a moderated community that keeps spam under control (i.e. Popular STEM/hot vs. Popular STEM/trending). Not something I care about much, but in general I'm in favor of variety and choices for the user.

I'll try to find out if anybody knows why 'Hot' it got deleted before reintroducing it. It's been mentioned as something Upvu users like and I don't see any harm in it being there. I had a look at the algorithm and it's identical to 'Trending' other than the time period.

Ah, interesting. That's an easy fix - the option in the dropdown is just commented out🙂
