I take it you're enjoying the HTL ?

[NTLDR]

It was alot easier figuring out howto create the HTL install instrctions then trying to make a text file look clear and easy. Once its released I'll provided an updated HTL version

Which will be even easier, still!

Don't forget to change the title of the thread (when you go for a HTL installer) to have the [HTL] prefix, to denote that it has a .htl installer file. Makes for much easier checking out for people who want to see which hacks are HTL-hacks

(of course, you're free not to do it, but hey, it helps people, and it's not that big a hassle )

[WAR]

Where would I change how many recent threads are displayed?

[NTLDR]

Add ABOVE that:

Note: Change 5 in this part of the query to change the number of threads to show: DESC LIMIT 5
Change ORDER BY lastpost to ORDER BY dateline to stop it showing threads with new posts.

^^ See that comment above the relevent section of code in the install instructions.
