I dont get what a hot topic. Does that mean if it is "hot" then it will be like currently active. like in the new posts section?

You define what a hot topic is in the ACP. It varies by posts and views. (i.e. 1000 views = hot topic, 500 posts = hot topic)

i know that. thanks. but like is it an active topic? like if i set 1 post=hot topic. does that mean everytime someone posts it will show up in the new posts section of my forum?

I actually don't think there are any perks that a hot topic has. It'll just show up as "hot".

the new posts section is only those threads with posts since your last visit. it has nothing to do with being hot or not
