I remember seeing a mod here (can't seem to find it now though), where it would install a list of links to the latest posts in a forum, but instead of being at the top of your forum or at the bottom like with the top 5 stats, it would be at the bottom or foot, of a thread. Like for example, if someone were to be reading this thread right now...at the foot of this thread, it would show a listing of 7 or 8 links to the latest posts or threads started in the vb3 general discussions forum.


My second question is, I have our forum set up for a page break after 22 threads. Basically, 22 threads per forum page. But I cannot seem to get this to work with stick threads EXAMPLE: (http://hmandsforums.oliwy.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16). Our news archive forum goes on and on. I am trying to get the news archive to break up into a 22 thread per page format, sticky or not.

The code in forumdisplay has this comment:


// on the first page there will be the sticky threads PLUS the $perpage other normal threads
// not quite a bug, but a deliberate feature!


Maybe you knew that already. It kind of looks like you'd need to edit forumdisplay.php to change that, but to be honest it's too complicated for me to figure out (in the few minutes I spent looking at it).

But of course maybe someone else can help...

I don't believe there is a modification to solve your Sticky issue. By default, vBulletin ignores Stickies in your thread count. So your main page is always going to be 22+Stickies. You may want to try something else for that forum, like sorting it by thread prefix, and then assigning a single prefix to the threads you want at the top.
