Hello me again  When posting in a sub forum, the 'last post' information on the forums main page is not updated to reflect this change, it is only updated when a post is posted in the parent forum of the subs. It also appears to be the same on this site (WWG). Is this a bug or is this intended? P.S. My forum running MySQL version. EDIT: I've just noticed that this is true for the 'Whats going on?' info at the bottom of the main page, it also only shows the latest post made in main forums not subforums. ------------- Handyman man? |

On the main Forum Index page it shows the last post in that forum, for sub forums you need to go into the main forum and it will display the last post in each of the sub forums. This was done intentionaly, but if enough users don't like it, it can be updated to show the last post in sub forums on the main forum index. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| I think the way it is is better... as there would be no other way to show the last post purely for the parent forum... at least not without showing two latest post entries on the main page and then trying to distinguish them. Too much. |

I can see why some users would like it like this, maybe it's a good candidate for a mod, maybe showing a small icon next to the sub forum name if there is a new post.
