Preguntas de moda
I'm working in the Spanish version of the site, and the "questions" part at the top says "Preguntas de moda" which I think means "Fashion questions" where the English site says "Hot Questions". It then says "De moda" where the link usually says "Hot". I have always interpreted "Hot" to mean "Burning questions" like "Questions that need to be answered right away because they are burning the people that aren't being answered." in the same way the a person gets "burned" by a date that doesn't show up. The second way I think of them is "Hot off the plate" like "These questions are hot off the plate" like a stack of pancakes that needs to eaten before it gets cold. How does this relate to fashion?
Edit: It's Vocabulary and Grammar because I'm trying to see the vocabulary issue in the Spanish version that relates to the English version.

I have always taken "hot" to mean questions getting the most votes and / or responses, thus one could say "popular" questions (or de moda).
I would imagine "de moda" combines being popular and being current. And I supposed the "hot" questions are chosen because they are new and because they are getting views/answers/comments. After all, the (excellent!) computer code behind the forum can´t know which questions are really burning for the askers... 
Creo que la interpretación de "hot" por "moda" viene del hecho de que lo que está de moda significa que es lo más nuevo, lo más reciente.
"Hot off the plate" aquivale a "como recien salido del horno", que está recién cocinado, aún caliente (hot).
Cuando menos esa es mi idea. 
I am not a native speaker, but to me...something that is fashionable is hot and "in the now, something that's current."
So I can see why they would use Preguntas de moda...but Preguntas Calientes would work too.
Vote me please!
