is it possible to add a latest news on forum home like vbadvanced?

I know theres a latest threads mod, but that doesnt show images & id like images from the latest threads to be shown

Why don't you add an iframe linked to the Latest thread, that would show nicely on your forum home?? :confused:

I might have a bash doing this myself later :D

lol, sorry :o

What i meant by iframe is a scrollable frame which you can insert to another webpage by which members will be able to view a selected webpage or part of a site something similar to the picture below

You can set the size of the Frame or have it spanning 100% the width of your site.

Not sure if that would help but i was asked to do something similar with a website review forum. ;)

personally I'd avoid iframes when talking about content/SEO/ever

about the latest thread mod, I believe it's possible by commenting out the part where bb code, etc. is being stripped.

Not sure what the confusion is, Iframes are so easy to add, I did these ideas for a few sites using Iframes

1. Sponsor of the Week- Affiliate site with Iframe on Forum home the full width of the site by 200 pixels, Got this particular website admin 35+ refferals and 22 sales in a week :eek:

2. Website review - A thread started by an admin and closed to posting showing members websites in each post

3. Live Adverts- Various adverts scattered around the site, Instead of banners, Use Iframes to view the site, Admin gets Commision on sales and referals

4. IFrame BBcode - dependant on what type of site you have, You can allow your members to add Iframes to their site with a Simple BBcode

Those are just 4 examples that i've used Iframes, if theres enough interest i'll explain more on how to do it for your site ;)

:D
