what do you mean? All members can view it, thats why you exclude the forums that you dont want shown

Going to give this a try now, thanks.

Michael Biddle · #27 03-22-2007, 11:24 PM

Not a problem, on forumhome it *should* show up under navbar. so just put $latest where you want it

ubblite · #28 03-22-2007, 11:52 PM

Does this mod inherit usergroup permissions or do you have to manually enter the forum ID to exclude private forums?

shaynehammy · #29 03-23-2007, 12:17 AM

Can you modify this hack so that it has a loop marquee funtion where it will scroll vertically through the last 30 posts? Once the user hovers his mouse over the box it stops scrolling.

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
