I don't think you'd have to create a new widget type. If you are going to have a query, then you will want to use a PHP widget.

Posts of all types are stored in the post table - comments on articles, for instance. I only want posts that are related to forums, not article or blog comments.

The query won't reside in the widget - the widget will use the xmlhttp object in javascript to hit a php page. This separate php page will contain the query that will return the latest posts to the user. The javascript will then insert new divs with post information - this will be a scrolling widget that will have divs added to the top that are new posts (really, links to the posts, just user subject and thread will be displayed).

Thanks,
