Would anyone be able to convert this to compliant CSS/XHTML???

The hack works great but is not compliant...

To make this work throughout your forum (not just forumhome), just put the variable $latest in a template that is called on all your pages (ie..header, navbar, footer) and change the hook location of the 'main code' (in plugin manager) to global_start

amnesia623: well, it not really working. With your modifications, you can put the last x posts where you want, this aprt is working. But a problem haoppen: each time you click to a thread link (or search result), the forum send you always to the same thread (I have VbSEO, perhaps it comes from here).

How could I set this up so it will only display latest posts but not users/forum/first x characters of post?
