No support by the author.

This is my first hack which I created out of necessity. It's is so simple, it adds "Last Announcement" in the forums home. This is done by selecting the latest thread created in a given forum to be displayed.

See the screenshot attached.

1.2 Update:
- The hack now uses the plugin system, no more code changes .

1.1 Update:
- Code is now more optimized, compatible with non-cookied and clustered boards. (Thanks for KirbyDE)

1.01 Update:
- Now it works if you use prefix in database.

Enjoy

I don't seem to get how this works. I have installed it twice and removed it twice. I can't seem to find where I insert my text for it to appear in the latest announcement area. Where do I go to add my text?

Thanks,
~Mr. Bone88
