I was checking the above on my local board, where the effect is easier to trace due to the number of posts and posters being lowish. I was expecting a specific thread to be at the top, since a few posts were added yesterday there by me and other (merited within the last year) forum members, but I found it further down than expected, despite the fact that it had more interaction than the once place on top (which I had also participated in).
It took me a minute to remember that bump score decays over time. Since the thread that has more interaction was basically bumped during the morning, it had lost about a third of its score in comparison to those bumped in the late evening. That’s fine, and is good by desing. I just had to remember that position is pretty time sensitive when interpreting the order I was seeing.
