Wish someone would make a "Latest Threads" on forum home mod. The ones here aren't that great or coded for earlier versions or....etc.

ok, now i managed to add that code BUT i can´t read my forum normally if this mod is on. It won´t show any threads or just new threads from one forum. So the main page is ok, but that´s all.

This is a great mod, but layout could be much better. For example now message is a link. So every message is underlined and difficult to read. There could be message and under that a link to the "real" message.

Sebbo, I also found this bug, I updated it, make sure you get the latest mod. Reason being was when i made it global. it made it go haywire, so I added it back to forumhome ;D. Make sure to update please

If you haven't installed this mod/hack you need to and look for more from Mike. His code is good and if you have a problem / request he seems to work his hardest to solve and help you work for what you need!

Great mod, Mike, thanks.

Could you please advise if there is an easy way for the default action of the $latest box to be collapsed?

Cheers,

STT
