I just recently migrated www.dance-forums.com from phpbb to vbulletin and I am VERY happy.

One feature that my users enjoyed on phpbb was I showed the latest 6 posts at the top. It looked like this:

Latest Threads
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
Link 5

It was just plain html (thread title linked). Here are the considerations:
1. I only want to show threads that are in certain forums (so I assume it would be something like WHERE forumid = 3,4,5, or 6 sort of logic)
2. What I mean by latest is threads that have received replies.

I hope this makes sense. You can see an example of this in action at www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum (phpbb but probably not for long)
