Dear Paul,

I posted this back on page 4, but don't think it got an answer (apologies if I missed it somewhere in all the pages of posts!). As I'm doing some template config at the moment, it's again relevant. I'd be grateful for your help:

Is there any way to display the New Posts reading separately from the Welcome block? I very much like it there; but I'd also like to add it to various locations on custom forum pages -- e.g. we have a 'welcome page' that displays a quotation, and where I used the old Show New Posts hack to paste in the HTML code so that the reading would show.

How can I display this hack's readout elsewhere via HTML in templates?
