Better Latest Forum Posts Block

[unit12stealth]

See title.

I'm not a huge fan of the default 'latest forum posts' forum block. I dislike how it displays every user that replies to a single thread.

Is there anyway to edit the block so it doesn't display every single reply to the same thread?

Or does anyone have a better forum block they'd recommend?

Not sure what you mean, do you want to set a per thread limit?

Yes.
This image below is what the vbAdvanced cms latest forum posts block looks like. I want the vbulletin forum block to look like it. To limit how many times it will display the same thread, no matter how many replies it gets. I just dont want one thread to appear 10 times, because users replied on it. And then it not show the other threads that were replied on.

The image you just showed is not posts, it's threads.

You can add one yourself by going to ACP --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Blocks Manager, select Add Block, then in the dropdown select, Forum Threads, then hit Continue.

In the next screen, wet it up how you want, then hit Save.
