Hi,
Is there any way of displaying the last 2 or 3 posts for a particular forum under the 'last post' list on the main page.
The reason I ask is that we have several sub-forums which show the last post (which is fine) but also a more important 'Club Messages' forum where it would be nice to show the last 2 or 3 topics without users having to drill down into it - this would prevent imortant messages from being hiden from members who don't login regularly.
Thanks

The nearest to this available is setting the topic as an announcement to either the forum you posted in so they always displayed at the top of that forum or as an announcement to all forums so that the posts display at the top of all your forums.

The other option is to use Web Wiz NewsPad and integrate it with Web Wiz Forums so that News/Blog posts you create in NewsPad are displayed on the homepage of your forum, as you can see on the home page of this forum.

Ok - thanks for the quick reply.
Announcements don't really give us what we need. I'll look into the NewsPad.
 
How does the home page of this forum show the 'Latest Forum Posts' box ? - this might give us what we are looking for, especially if it could be displayed higher up.
 
Thanks

You would need to download and install version 10 to have the 'Last Posts' feature. Version 10.
