Just wondering if this would be possible to use on an external page, such a php homepage. Or will this only work on a VB page? i am new to much of this, so wasnt sure. i am looking for something to display, like i have now with another forum. it looks like this

this is using a custom built forum, not VB. i have recently upgraded to VB, and would like to display the latest 10 VB posts the same way as this pic shows.

thanks,

As of right now, it only works on the forumhome page

Great hack! Can you strip out HTML code from the output? It breaks my forum home page if there is a post with HTML.

This made a nice little addition to our forums. I feel that listing the recent posts boosts traffic to that thread.

One thing I'd love is if it could be about the size of three threads posted, select 10 threads to show, and have them all scroll to display from newest to oldest in a loop.

Anyhow, it really is nice having this on our forums.

Thank you.

MarijuanaRadio · #**180** 12-02-2007, 12:36 PM

Would it be possible to make the same thing scroll??

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