Hi,

I would like to request frequency settings for Random.

My thoughts are like those found in the View Random Seed module, heck you might even be able to re-use the code :)

thank you for considering

Interesting... makes sense for the paged "more" pages though how would it change the block content behavior? I'm putting the module link here for lazy reference:

Of the Random seed example, I would probably use

- Change once an hour

The idea came about when I noticed the big Goo doing a page hit - 3 times in a row - about a sec apart - I would have to guess they were doing a random text check - it would be smart on thier part

Change once an hour should remove any chance of that, I'm thinking

and wouldn't once an hour reduce the load a bit?... not sure if there is much of a load here

I'm also planning on adding caching so maybe this would handle it. The cache would be clear when the cron runs so it would be up to the site owner to set that up though.

I'm going to close this one because I'm going to do the caching and that will handle the random blocks as well.
