Maybe it is due to the a custom template? Have you tried to add $platest into forumhome template?

I don't understand... :(

It should work with 3.8.x. Do not PM me with the same exact message of your post. That is the fast track to my ignore list.

sorry for the late reply. i was having some sort of logout issues anyway with the forum, regardless of both of your products. it was something in the navbar. i reverted the template, then put the link for the last 50 back, and it worked. everything is fixed.

the reason i found this is because a member that used IE said that clicking 'log out' made her computer freeze up, so i went looking online and found that people who reverted the templates fixed the problem.

so, navbar template, something i did, im not sure what. :/

thanks for the reply, and again thanks for the mod :)

I have the latest posts displayed on my forum homepage.

However, when I close a particular thread on my forum, that thread gets totally removed from the list of latest posts.

Is it not possible to close the thread but still show that thread's posts in the list of latest posts?

Go to the Latest X Post on Forum Home > main code plugin and change
to

thanks :)

It is possible, although it would require to change the plugin from something like this:

It 'd probably be best to wait for the author's reply for this question.

Well this mod strips the bbcode, so parsing it is not really an option. Reason it is stripped is if you use the cutoff, then it could cut out the end bbcode, so you would just have the starting bbcode shown.
