Nothing as in no "Latest Threads" box or just the content within it?

It appears to be adding the full link, instead of just images/icons/icon10.gif.
Any help would be much appreciated. Also, the URL is directing itself to the wrong folder... it should be going to forum_beta2, not forum.

Check your image paths and make sure you have set your vBulletin Options forum url correctly

Nothing new at all ... no "Latest Threads" box or any content.

Then you haven't edited the FORUMHOME template correctly

Any way to only have this pull new threads from specified forums? Would definitely like to use this, thanks for your work on it.

I get the same ... the post icons' path is incorrect. Is there any way to change this, because it is annoying?
