I have modified it slightly to allow the addition of a few 'teasers' from recent, active threads from within the forum. As this is my first vB mod, I'm not sure what to do next with my changes.

What is the protocol here for offering my changes back to the community - do I send them to CB, and he can incorporate them in to the next release, or do I start a new mod?

Thanks

Quentin

Nothing wrong with customizing a mod for your own use or even passing along information about how it was done to others.

However, as has been noted, it's not good form to publish the changes as a new add-on, except where attempts to contact the original author have failed for some reason, and that6 doesn't apply in this case.

As a courtesy, I would suggest you also pass the information along to Chris in case it might be helpful to him in developing future versions.
