Question about query syntax

[tnguy3n]

Assuming you'd put this code bit in forumdisplay.php file.

PHP Code:

SELECT forum.forumid, forum.title AS forumtitle, thread.*, post.* 
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . " thread AS thread
    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum ON(forum.forumid = thread.forumid)
    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON(thread.lastpost = post.postid)
    WHERE thread.forumid = '" . intval($forumid) . "'
    AND thread.visible = 1
    ORDER BY forumtitle
    LIMIT 0, 3

SELECT t.threadid, t.title, t.firstpostid, t.lastpost, f.title as forumtitle, t.replycount, t.postusername, t.postuserid, t.lastposter, t.dateline, t.views, p.pagetext, t.iconid, t.forumid
FROM thread t
LEFT JOIN post p ON p.postid = t.firstpostid
LEFT JOIN forum f ON f.forumid = t.forumid
WHERE t.forumid
IN ( 19, 116 )
AND t.open = '1'
AND t.visible = '1'
ORDER BY forumtitle DESC
LIMIT 0 , 3

The code above only pull 3 total posts from the forums, any ideas on how to pull the last 3 posts from each forum?

Thanks in advance!
