Oh, one more request if possible but the previous two are more important. I'd like the feature to click down to even older posts like an arrow down just like is used on the latest post module on this site http://www.mylpga.com

Thanks!

Just added to my close protection forum, works well.

Is it possible to get it to give links with vRewrite with search engine friendly links?

I'm pretty new to vB admin stuff and had a question about this hack.

I've seen something similar done before, but in a column on the right in the forum home. I have a right column on my forum home (via another hack) and just figured I could paste the template edit that this hack called for into that template, but no this does not work at all.

any guidance? I can give you any information needed (copy and paste of template files or whatever)

thanks in advance!

oh the site is www.themazdaforum.com if you wanted to see what is going on right now.

Edit: I hacked up the part you are supposed to paste into FORUMHOME such that it fits into the right column template. Still nothing appears. It is as if <if condition="$show['latestthreads']"> is returning false so it just isn't processing anything. Is that a var I have to set somewhere?

I'm such a n00b with this stuff :P

bump?

Hi
I saw on a forum home page that two copies of this hack was working.
There was two columns . one of them show latest posts on some forums (for example download forums) and another one shows all other new posts (on all other forums)

How can I do this?
thanks
