You don't have to include anything to your templates, unless you'd choose a different position as the options will give you.

Currently, I believe those options are:
under navbar, under forum or above forum

The only thing to do is to install (and enable) the product

When you say click install - Where is that option available to me? On my site (where) or on this forum?

Michael, I have an interesting scenario on my forum.
Basically, there is a forum where members can talk to staff and only see their threads they started ... is it possible to make an alteration so that instead of seeing all latest posts in that forum ... they only see the ones they started IN THAT forum?
Gosh, I hope you got what I was trying to say! heh!

So you want this to show the latest replies to threads they make in a specific forum?

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