well, using the model below:

Forum 1 - Can only see threads you start
Forum 2 - Can see anything
Forum 3 - Can see anything
Forum 4 - Can see anything

Basically, the mod shows all of the latest posts, but in forum 1, it shows all of the posts even in the threads they are not supposed to see ... I was hoping there was a way to make them see posts from Forum 1 only if it is from their threads ...

Firstly thank you for this excellent mod.

I run a humour forum which has a main forum, and a handful of smaller off-topic forums.

I would like it if I could have 2 seperate tables. The first table would show the latest 20 posts from the main forum, and the second table would show the latest 20 posts from all of the other forums combined.

Would this require a major rewrite or could I achieve it by making smaller modifications to the plugin?

Any help appreciated.

Does the Location "Under Forum" mean it will show the last post under every top-level forum on my forumhome?

Hi,

Will you port this product to vb4?

[royong]

is there a way to make this mod display multiple post from a single thread ?
for example, if i were to setup such that i want to display the latest 5 posts on the forum home, and the posts on all my forums as follows

1001hrs ... Thread01Post01
1002hrs ... Thread02Post01
1002hrs ... Thread03Post03
1002hrs ... Thread10Post01
1002hrs ... Thread09Post01
1003hrs ... Thread01Post02
1004hrs ... Thread01Post03
1005hrs ... Thread01Post04

If based on time, the 5 posts that should get displayed are
Thread01Post04
Thread01Post03
Thread01Post02
Thread09Post01

but this ISNT the case ... i get the following instead
Thread01Post04
Thread09Post01
Thread10Post01
Thread02Post01
Thread03Post03

any advice?

Doesnt works pretty fine for me.
It does the linking false. Its displaying
the Lastest Threads / posts but its linking
them like this --> http://www.vbulletin.org/vbulletin/f...play.php?f=228
instead of:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=228

Would be nice if you would tell me how to fix that of course ill also mark is as installed than

Is it possible to add how many replies and thread views attached to that post in a column

I should add this works just fine with vb3.8.4 so those who are having problems its either your setup or you simply did something wrong.
