Version 1.0.10 What's New in 1.0.10 :

This major update brings recognition, moderation, and performance improvements:

• POTW Win Counter: The add-on now automatically records the winner of each week (the most reacted post) and keeps a full win history. Each user's total wins are displayed as a "POTW" counter in the message user info (postbit) and on member profiles — permanent recognition for your best contributors.
• Promote to POTW: A new "Can promote POTW?" permission lets your staff manually promote any post to the POTW page. A "Promote POTW" link appears next to Reply on every post; after confirmation, the post is pinned in a dedicated collapsible "Promoted posts" section at the top of the POTW page until the end of the week, marked with a "Promoted post" badge. Promotions can be removed at any time by permitted users.
• Exclude Threads: A new "Exclude Thread IDs" option lets admins keep specific threads (e.g. games or off-topic megathreads that farm reactions) out of POTW entirely, so the spotlight stays on genuine discussion.
• Smarter Alerts: Watchers are now only alerted when there actually are new qualifying posts — no more empty "post of the week has been updated" notifications.
• Major Performance Upgrade: The POTW page and widget now run on a single optimized query with built-in caching and a supporting database index, dramatically reducing load on busy boards.
• Pagination Fix: Week sections now paginate cleanly — each page shows only its own weeks' headings and posts.
