Will it work when I've got 3.6.x?

I have a version for 3.6.x, but this should work. Not tested

I just wish this thing could work on every page...it would be so much more useful. Great hack though!

I have this working on vB 3.7 B5 with no problems. In fact, I have "latest threads" and "latest posts" running at the same time on the forum home page: www.churchmedia.net

I'd like it to show the thread prefixes and the thread icons. Is that an easy mod?

I'd also to be able to exclude certain forums from showing up in the recent threads/posts. I have some heavily used forums that aren't really designed for visitors and I'm afraid the topics might be confusing.

Thanks for the great hack!

I installed this mod and it is working in mozilla but not explorer.

Here is link to my site www.rotofans.com/forums

If I do the auto include it puts the latest posts directly below my navbar whether I use "Above forums" or "below navbar".

When I tried to hardcode it to my forumhome it would not take in explorer.

Now in mozilla it's works fine. It looks just like any of my other main forums areas.

Any ideas? I love the mod if I could get it to work in explorer.

Thanks
Will

5. Exclude Forums - Choose what forums you do not want to be listed

Is there anyway to have it only Include Forums instead. It's not the forums that bother me, but it includes the subforums too, and I have over 100 all together. I only want to show about 30 subforums (or one forum). It would be much easier to add what I want instead of what I don't want. Plus there are still new subforms popping up alomost every month, which would make this a pain to keep going in and adding the new subforms to the exclude list.

Great Mod though.

Thnx,

Edit: also would there be a way to have it display the default usergroups color for the authors? (example: Administrators, Moderators, VIP, Members)

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