I am looking for a modification which shows the last Topic on the frontpage in each forum. It would be nice if it could look like this:

Testing the new Feature of the board...

Best would be if it cuts of the Topic Title and only shows a certain amount of it so that the frontpage will not get messed up.

Any chance this could be done only be template editing?

Yeah the last Poster is there, but I want the last TOPIC to show. So that you already see on the front page what is being discussed in that thread

Yes, it's a hack over at vB.org. Do a search otherwise I can link for you. :)

lordstar is correct its a hack at vb.org and it takes like 1 min to do easy stuff! do a search at vb.org for "topic started on date" or somthing like that

Thanks, I checked and found something but this is not what I wanted:

Is there another one that works the way I want?

To me it looks like there is a box that shows the last XX Threads on the homepage, not just the very last one in each forum. Or am I mistaken?

Anyone have this installed to check it out?

Okay, like in the welcome panel like "2 Threads and 4 Posts since your last visit"

Like that?

There are a few versons of that hack. however the one i linked calls the last post normally thus adding no queries to index.php.
