All discussion thread posts need a maximum character limit of 40 - 50 to be practical and user-friendly, resulting in better engagement. This way, members can engage, focus, see, read, and reply much more easily to the posts. It will eliminate unnecessary distractions. The option to add external URL links is there any way for further reading.
For the same reason, twitter never allowed too many characters.
The only exception should be the Article section, which is subject to editorial approval before publication.

We need to address a user experience issue. The criteria for the latest posts/threads need some adjustment. It should not based solely on the time factor of the posting. Too many posts from one section overcast others, which is bad and overwhelming for the overall user experience. Visitors do not like it when the latest post area is covered by only one or two sections. We need to spread out the latest posts among other tabs. The default latest posts tab should have a maximum of two posts from one single section. Otherwise, the rest can be spread out to the other latest tabs, as shown below. All the sections need a balanced representation in the default latest posts tab.

Please fix the latest post tab either by algorithm or manually. There are 7 tabs there, as you can see below. We need to distribute the posts evenly among these tabs. If not, the default latest post will have one-sided posts, which will bury all the other posts that attract new visitors. It is not a new issue.

Yes Sir we need to fix the tabs. Today is 12 June and we only have 3 posts in Pakistan Military section tab since 12 May. We should reduce the tabs so that more posts are found in each tab.

The solution to your request is easy, but I am not sure if Sir @PakistanProud knows how to do it.

I have an idea that doesn't involve coding to make it work for you. Sir @PakistanProud should upgrade the Forum Statistics addon to Forum Statistics Plus. This upgrade will enhance the addon's functionality, allowing posts to be made sticky, similar to sticky threads on pages. This way, your favorite threads will stay at the top in each tab, and after 2-5 sticky threads, the remaining threads will be displayed by date.

I tried many times over the past few months to solve the problem by making posts/threads sticky, only to later find out those were somehow unsticky again. So, back to square one again. lol
