I noticed it says "Site News" and "Latest 5 Posts" on your site. Is it possible to be able to have these as user configurable settings?

Yes I could set that up for ya, as a temporary fix you can just edit the phrases. Will do in next small update

EDIT: By the way, the "Latest 5 Posts" Changes to like "latest 10 Posts" and so on. How ever many you have it grabbing, it changes that number

Thanks, I noticed that. Will wait for the update.

think i might just make the "Site News" Changable, doing that now

Ok done, redownload

You can grab the last # posts on forumhome by just adding some code in functions_forumlist.php without adding any query, I think !
