No. This is how it is intended for use. You would have to modify the query and change the templates.

Great Mod with heaps of parental to do things with, I am like others and would like to see "post icons", "Last Reply" and "Replies/Views", there seems to be plenty of room for this.

Not sure if the text is needed below the thread title, I removed it on my template as it just took up too much room at the top if showing 10 posts.

michael, how would i write a simple php file to put $platest on a separate page by itself? my members are requesting a way to have the most recent 50 or so on a page by themselves, but i don't have the skills to do such a thing. (and 50 would make the index just a bit large

)

If you want a standalone page would it vb considered a vbulletin page? (Same directory as index.php and global.php, etc.

yes it probably would, i just have no idea how to go about doing this.

You can try this:

It will show the latest 50 on this page: www.yoursite.com/misc.php?do=latest50

Note: It will use the same option as the latest x post value to either show/not show the page text.

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