Wow !!! Awesome.

Thanks, men.

Installed.

Yep, it was there the whole time. Not a bug, you just need to select which forum to have the posts display. Obviously, we chose our News forum, never had a problem with it.

On the issue of discovery I have found the fix to my problem. Our board uses a custom font setting and it created a dead space on the bottom of the Latest Post section. There should have been a <br> in the coding of the add on for a separation between the category information and the actual results in the Latest Posts but there wasn't one. With no help from the actual author I found a solution to my problem, even though I cannot implement it at this time without my pc with photoshop actually working.

BUT if any of you use a custom font and you run into spacing problems consider changing the

post_old
post_new

gifs in your icons/statusicons folder of your ftp. I noticed that the bigger image I use the more the spacing is balanced out.

I'm going to fix this tomorrow hopefully or whenever I can make the image that I want. So to view my error you may do so for the next 24 hours or so, but I'm sure I attached it earlier in this thread.

And you can see how changing those gifs affected my spacing in this image:

--------------------------

Our forum is heavily customized so if yours is anything like mine and you have a similar problem, try this out. Also for some reason the post old and post new in the threads are in my Styles folders on my ftp, so I actually have to make this change in several locations. Be sure to check your files if you have a similar set up.

Anyone? It should be something fairly simple, I just don't know PHP well enough to do this. I figure some where in the code it just needs to grab the newest post date instead of original post date.

Are you sure you want threads from last year to be listed at the top of "Latest News" when someone replies to them?

Yes, that's pretty much exactly what I need. We're actually using the Latest News as a secondary "Latest Posts." We have our website filtered into two categories and have set the Latest Posts to exclude a handful of forums, which the Latest News then uses -- although I've edited the phrase to be "Latest Technical Posts" So while we're trying to use Latest News as a secondary "Latest Posts" it's still organized by thread creation date, we need it by latest post date. :)

I did find how Latest Posts was using $get_new_posts so I went into the template for Latest News and changed $get_news_posts to be $get_new_posts but then it came up blank for everything so I had to change it back.

MR. CYBERNETEC,

maybe i am doing something wrong...as selected certain forums to be counted as top poster and top thread starter however in latest post i dont see all the post only the ones that i selected for top poster and top thread starter...kindly help

i upgraded to 5.7 and it showing everyone'ip adress as same from (itdomains.com)when i click on currently active user in whats going on box.does ne one else having the same problem?need help.thanks

Cybernetec, this is probably the best mod I came across. Thanks a ton. It really helps. There is just one problem though. "Top 5 Stats" has an arrow with it, click it, I see two options "View more results" and "Turn off stats". If I click those links, it takes me to misc.php?do=cybstats, that page gives me the explanation of Smilies!

UPDATE: It was my mistake. I was testing in a test environment, link was pointing to misc.php in PROD environment. I just made it live. It worked great! Everything works fine including "more results". Users even have the option to turn off the top stats. Wow... It's great. May be this can be voted as best mod of the YEAR!

Please, Cybernetec, add support for vbblogs.

Nevermind, figured it out. Thank god for Notepad++ so I could really review the code. Just changed the orderby for get_news_posts to lastpost so it'd be the same as get_new_posts and now it's ordering it correctly. :)

Figured out how to add the lastposter and replycount to the table too, just need to figure out how to tidy it up and change the heading for the table.

Edit: Yaaaahoooo! Got it working just how I wanted it to.
