Recent topics

On the home page of my site I'd like to place a summary of the ten most recent active topics in the forum with the links taking people to the relevant topic displayed in a new window.

Is there an easy way of doing this? I supose what I need is the sql query and the format of the URL for each topic.

It would be good if the forum window showed the last posting in the topic rather than the first but that is a "nice to have" rather than essential.

thanks

Derek

There is also my Latest Topics modification.

The difference between the 'extras' and my mod is that the 'extras' shows a topic multiple times for each post, where as my modification will only show a topic once, based on the last post to the topic.

You can see a demo on my forum here
(The 'Powered By' link is not on the mod)

Yours won't work as all my forums are restricted to registered users and the latest topics will only be shown once they've logged in to the parent web site.

Thanks anyway.

Any ideas Thanks Derek

The error means that you do not have permission to use the MS HTTP XML Object. You should contact your web host about this error.
